Shipyards by national segment

Shipbuilding output is concentrated in five national clusters: Korean (HD Hyundai, Samsung HI, Hanwha Ocean, HD Hyundai Mipo — dominant in deep-sea), Japanese (Imabari, Mitsubishi, Kawasaki HI, Tsuneishi — bulk and gas specialists), Chinese (Yangzijiang, COSCO HI, Hudong-Zhonghua, Jiangnan, GSI — growing in every segment), European (Fincantieri, Meyer, Chantiers, Damen, Navantia, Naval Group — cruise + naval + specialist), and the rest. Engine licensing (MAN-ES, WinGD, Wärtsilä) and bridge equipment (Furuno, JRC, Kongsberg) follow national patterns; if you know the yard you can predict the engine room.
