History
Chung Ju-young, who is the founder of
Hyundai Group, decided to enter into the shipbuilding industry in the early
1970s ignoring that Hyundai had no experience, capital and shipbuilding
technology whatsoever. However, the company received orders for two 260,000-dwt
crude oil tankers from Greek magnate George Livanos while Hyundai’s shipyard
was still in the planning stage.
March in 1972, ground was broken on an
empty stretch of beach in Ulsan to construct what would become the world’s
largest shipyard. Then, the company started building the two oil tankers and
the shipyard at the same time. Two years later, in 1972, Hyundai held a
ceremony to name the two tankers while dedicating the shipyard.
Capturing the imagination of the
international maritime community, the event was a historical first step for
Hyundai Heavy Industries.
Then, now, the company became the largest
shipbuilding manufacturer in the global market with the high technology they
accumulated.
