HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering is the intermediate holding company for the world's largest shipbuilding group by order book. It sits under HD Hyundai and controls the yards that actually build the ships — HD Hyundai Heavy Industries at Ulsan, HD Hyundai Mipo, and HD Hyundai Samho — plus an engine business that makes the marine diesels those ships run on. Between them they build container ships, oil and gas tankers, LNG carriers and naval vessels, competing mainly with China's state-backed yards and with Korean rival Hanwha Ocean. Ships are sold years before they are delivered, so revenue reflects orders won two to three years earlier and the order backlog matters more than any quarter's sales. For a US reader, the closest thing is a defence prime contractor: long-cycle, contract-priced work where the risk sits in what you agreed to build at what price, not in this month's demand.
