Korean heavyweight Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) has overtaken Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI), if only temporarily, to hold the world's largest shipbuilding orderbook, according to data from Clarksons Research Services.
At the end of March, HHI was ahead with 8.5 million CGT to SHI's 8.0 million CGT, but a surge of orders in April pulled SHI ahead for the first time in its 36-year history.
