Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering said on Thursday that it had won an order of about $500 million to build two ships for a joint venture of Brazil’s Odebrecht and France’s Technip.
The South Korean shipbuilder said in a statement it will manufacture the pipe-laying support vessels by August 2014.
DSME, established in 1973 at Okpo Bay, Geoje Island, employs approximately 1,500 design and R&D personnel with prolific experience, and more than 15,000 skilled workers. This superb workforce working as a team is building environmentally safe vessels with a 10-year life span and outfitting that allows easy maintenance and repairs, while fully complying with international standards including IMO.
