Understanding the Shipping and Shipbuilding Industry in Just One Day
 |
Description
Book Introduction
"The fourth in the industry series! A truly accessible book that explains the big picture and core concepts of the shipping and shipbuilding industries!"
More than 80% of global trade is transported by sea.
And the industries that make this massive maritime transport possible are the shipping and shipbuilding industries.
The shipping industry connects the world by transporting goods and resources, and the shipbuilding industry supports this industry by building massive ships.
In this way, the shipping and shipbuilding industries are closely interconnected and serve as arteries connecting the global economy.
In particular, the shipping and shipbuilding industries play a key role in the Korean economy.
Due to its limited resources, Korea imports most of its energy and raw materials from abroad. At the same time, it has an export-driven economic structure, exporting a variety of products, including semiconductors, automobiles, and petrochemicals, to the world.
Additionally, due to the geopolitical situation of being surrounded by the sea and being divided into North and South, 99.7% of import and export cargo depends on maritime transport.
But despite its importance, we know too little about the shipping and shipbuilding industries.
Even when reading news or analyst reports, we are often overwhelmed by unfamiliar terms like DWT, CGT, SCFI, BDI, tanker, newbuilding price, cargo hold, Panamax, FPSO, bulk carrier, MRO, etc., and are unable to fully understand the content.
How on earth should I study shipping and shipbuilding?
You have to understand the big picture first.
You can't get the answer by looking at the trees without knowing the forest.
It's like having a world map makes it easy to understand the relationships and structures of each country, but without a world map, no matter how much you study each country, you can't grasp the overall concept.
『Understanding the Shipping and Shipbuilding Industry in Just One Day』 was born with this planning intention.
We've made it as easy as possible to understand the industry's big picture and core concepts, using a variety of examples and abundant illustrations to help even non-experts understand it.
I hope this book will faithfully fulfill its role as a compass for policymakers, a microscope for businesspeople and investors to examine opportunities and risks, and a navigation system for job seekers exploring their career paths.
