Hyundai Heavy Industries in Ulsan, South Korea is where some of the world’s biggest and most advanced vessels are born, from massive trade ships to high-tech warships.

HHI’s Ulsan yard covers an unbelievable 2.5 miles, with 10 massive dry docks and ten Goliath cranes dominating the skyline. These cranes, some lifting up to 1,600 tons, are what make this place unique, allowing the team to build the biggest and most complex ships in record time.

In 2018, HHI built the world’s largest container ship, the CSCL Globe. This wasn’t just a one-off, HHI has manufactured thousands of vessels, hitting 200 million DWT in production by 2017. From giant VLCCs to complex offshore rigs, HHI is at the cutting edge of shipbuilding.
