South Korea’s Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries has added a new berth to accommodate more eco-friendly ships, especially LNG carriers.
The “second dolphin berth” at the Mokpo yard can dock four ultra-large ships simultaneously, with two on each side of the quay.
Hyundai Samho — one of four shipyards in the HD Hyundai group — added the quay to address the shortage of berths caused by increasing newbuilding volumes and LNG carriers, which require up to twice as much berthing time during final outfitting as vessels such as tankers.
