The historical construction of Hyundai Gunsan Shipyard
Driving force leading local economy through world class shipbuilding port
Hyundai Gunsan Shipyard held a historical ceremony to celebrate its completion in 2 years after its ground-breaking.
The Gunsan shipyard, equipped with world's biggest dock and gigantic goliath crane, is highly expected to play a key role in the coming West Sea's shipbuilding era.
Hyundai Heavy Industries held a joint ceremony to celebrate constructions of "Hyundai Gunsan shipyard and wind turbine manufacturing plant" at 1030hrs, 31st March and 3,000 people, including Hyundai Heavy Vice Chairman Min Gye-sik and local assemblymen, company staffs, and local residents, attended the event held at a plaza neighboring its shipyard dock.
The completion ceremony had been well proceeded with other celebration events such as opening performances, main guest introducing, report on proceedings, congratulatory message, and awards to company contributors for about one and half hours.
Magnificent appearance of world's biggest dock & goliath crane
The Gunsan shipyard Jeollabukdo successively invited at the early part of 2008 was developed in the 1.8 million square meters(540,000 P'yong) of land at Soryong-dong, Gunsan-si by investing 1,200 billions won. For land purchase 200 billions won had been spent with about 930 billions for construction expenses of civil engineering and construction works and facilities fixings. The shipyard went on a full-scale construction development of plants after completing "ground-breaking ceremony" at 7th May, 2008.
Block plants were completed at July and ship assembly process started while the general construction of shipyard was smoothly proceeded on the control and a ceremony for a first ship-building was held in Feb., 2009.
Further, in July, 2009 constructions of world's biggest dock and gigantic goliath crane were successively completed and outfitting quay works were also finished around Feb., 2010 and the shipyard got finally equipped with a whole of shipbuilding lines.
The dock scale is almost four times bigger than a soccer stadium and capable of building four 250,000 ton class vessels at once. The gigantic goliath crane(1,650 ton) is also capable of lifting 400 cars at one time. The dock and crane are world's biggest scale and they got already famous for "local attractions".
The Gunsan shipyard delivered two 180,000 ton class bulk carriers, the building of which got along with plant interior works and finally the Gunsan shipyard came to see the historical completion on 31st, March 2010.
Big ripple effects on local economy through max. 5,000 jobs creation
The Gunsan shipyard has produced 4,200 jobs creation until now as of March, 2010 and they are expected to reach up to 5,200 around 2012. If included even staffs of outsourcing companies relevant with ship assembling, painting, and machinery & parts supply, it is expected to produce 20,000 employment effects in maximum.
2,200 billions won for this year's target sales revenue is also anticipated to go up to 2,800 billions for 2011 and 3,100 for 2012 respectively, which will surely play a key role in driving the local economy.
One source of Gunsan shipyard said, " I'm pretty happy to see the successful completion of whole ship building lines in 2 years since ground-breaking" and added "the shipyard's scale and capability are highly expected to far much contribute to developments of Korean shipbuilding industries".
Gunsan-si also commented, "the establishment of Gunsan shipyard will play a role of foundation leading Gunsan port to the world class shipbuilding port" and further said, "it will powerfully drive the local economy by attracting 20,000-30,000 people of company staffs or families into Gunsan on a long term basis.
Wind turbine plants growing up to the future energy mecca
Hyundai Heavy Industries held a joint ceremony for constructions of shipyard and wind turbine plant.
The wind turbine manufacturing plant located neighboring to the shipyard was build on a land of 380,000㎡ and it is aimed at 250 billions won of sales revenue for this year by producing wind turbine systems and OEM generators.
The company plans to gradually increase capacities of generators, which will reach an annual production capability of 800MW(equivalent to the using for 250,000 homes) around 2013 and to export the products to Europe, China, and USA.
The mass production system will surely contribute to 500 jobs creation and annual sales revenue up to 1,500 billions won, which will naturally cause fairly positive effects on local economy.
