据国外媒体1月25日首尔报道,韩国当地报纸《韩国时报》上周五报道说,由于全球油气工业不景气,韩国现代重工业股份有限公司(现代重工)计划停止运营该公司麾下的一家造船厂。
由于全球石油工业大幅削减资本支出,现代重工麾下的温山造船厂迄今未能获得一份海上油气设施定单,现代重工打算在今年3月份为温山造船厂寻找替代用途。
现代重工的一名发言人对《韩国时报》说:“温山造船厂将在3月底完成其最后定单,然后该造船厂没有更多定单可以做。因此,我们决定利用这个设施作其他用途,绝不会关闭该厂。”
韩国现代重工很可能使用占地面积达20万平方米的温山造船厂作为造船厂原材料和设备的存放地。这个造船厂过去一直制造浮式产油储油和卸油船、浮式液化天然气厂和海上设施。

South Korea's HHI to Halt Ops at Onsan Shipyard Due to Industry Downturn
Asian Energy Information
Monday, January 25, 2016
South Korea's Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. (HHI) planned to halt operations at one of the company's yards amid the downturn in the global oil and gas industry, a report in local daily the Korean Times said Friday.
The firm intends to seek alternative use for its Onsan yard, which currently manufactures offshore rigs and other resource development facilities, in March following its failure to secure a single order for offshore oil and gas facilities as the petroleum industry cutback on capital spending.
"The plant will complete its last order in late March, and then it has no more orders to work on ... So, we decided to utilize the facility for other purposes. Under no circumstances will we close the plant," an HHI spokesman said, as quoted by the Korean Times.
HHI is likely to use the Onsan yard, which occupies an area of 2.15 million square feet (200,000 square meters), as storage for the shipbuilder's raw materials and equipment. The yard has been used to build floating production storage and offloading, liquefied natural gas plants and other offshore facilities.
