It is also necessary to look at the future of Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering.

In the past 10 years, the company's situation is difficult to the extent that the deficit has accumulated over 7 trillion won, but it is difficult to find a new owner right away, and it is time to reconsider whether it is necessary to continue to spend the government money like this from various directions.



This part was covered by reporter Jo Ki-ho.

Negotiations have been reached, but the future of Daewoo Shipbuilding is uncertain.



Last year, it posted an operating loss of 1.7 trillion won, and 470 billion won was added in the first quarter of this year.



[Won Joo / Head of Research Office at Hyundai Research Institute: The shipbuilding and shipping industries are those industries that survive a bad economy after earning very much for several years, so the fact that Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering is currently in a deficit is something that could become a problem later.] A high-



ranking government official said He told SBS, "If a company becomes difficult, it is correct to go through bankruptcy or rehabilitation procedures, but it is not an easy problem."



This means that more than 11 trillion won of public funds have already been invested, and its share in the economy of the Gyeongnam region is large, so it is difficult to view it only from an economic point of view.



Another government official said, "We are open to all possibilities," but said, "First, labor and management and creditors should work in various directions."

Finding a new owner is an alternative that comes to mind right away.



During the last government, a merger with Hyundai Heavy Industries Group was pursued, but it was canceled due to European Union opposition.



Korea Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering, Samsung Heavy Industries, Daewoo Shipbuilding, and Korea's three shipbuilding companies should also be considered.



[Ko Ja-hyeon / Head of KDI Industry and Market Policy Research Department: It seems a bit difficult to go to a three-company system because of low-priced orders and these problems persist.

There are a lot of concerns in this regard as to whether it will go on its own and sustainably in the future with a large-scale deficit as it is now...

Ultimately, we will have to find the future of Daewoo Shipbuilding in the big picture of strengthening the competitiveness of our shipbuilding industry.
