– Wins 6 of 11 global Suezmax orders in January, taking a dominant 55% market share
– Secures 4 vessels from new customers and 2 from repeat clients, strengthening both customer diversification and shipowner trust

DH Shipbuilding’s strong order momentum continues into the new year.

Earlier this month, DH Shipbuilding secured orders for four Suezmax-class crude oil tankers from new customers. On the 28th, the company announced additional orders for two vessels of the same type from a European shipowner. The total contract value is approximately KRW 250 billion.

DH Shipbuilding showed an overwhelming presence in the global Suezmax market in January. Of the 11 Suezmax vessels ordered worldwide during the month, DH Shipbuilding won six, once again proving its position as the leading builder in this segment.

Thanks to this early-year order rally, DH Shipbuilding has proactively secured its workload, building an order backlog of around 30 vessels—equivalent to approximately three years of stable production.

Jin Gi-bong, Head of Sales at DH Shipbuilding, said,
“Among global shipowners, there is a strong perception that DH Shipbuilding builds the best Suezmax tankers. As a result, repeat orders from existing customers continue to increase. Based on deep trust with our long-term clients, we will further strengthen our dominant position in the Suezmax market.”

The newly ordered vessels are scheduled for delivery between January and May 2029.
