HD KOREA SHIPBUILDING & OFFSHORE ENGINEERING announced in a regulatory filing the previous day that its consolidated operating profit for the second quarter of this year reached 1.6451 trillion won, a 72.5% increase compared to the same period last year. During the same period, revenue rose 20.2% to 8.927 trillion won, and net profit surged 256.6% to 1.5942 trillion won.
The company explained that improved productivity, an expanded share of high-priced vessel sales, and a selective order-taking strategy focused on profitability drove the improvement in performance. In particular, HD HYUNDAI HEAVY INDUSTRIES led the earnings growth, with its second-quarter operating profit surpassing 1 trillion won—a 121% increase year-over-year—driven by expanded sales of high-priced vessels.
Additionally, HD KOREA SHIPBUILDING & OFFSHORE ENGINEERING announced on the same day that it had signed a “Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on Cooperation for Shipyard Modernization to Revitalize the U.S. Shipbuilding Industry” with Fraser Industries of the United States.
