South Korea’s STX Group embarked on its first offshore plant construction when it recently held a keel laying ceremony for an offshore pipe layer at its Chinese subsidiary STX Dalian Shipbuilding complex.<\/p>\n
The 194 m long pipe laying vessel had been ordered by France’s engineering firm Technip for around $200m in October 2007. At the ceremony, a 1,000 tonne vessel block was moved onto an offshore plant building facility and the newbuilding is scheduled for delivery in 2010.<\/p>\n
STX has also secured offshore plant newbuilding orders last year including four drillships and one floating storage unit worth $1.2bn in total. The company plans to win high value-added specialized vessel orders in the second half through forming partnership with resource-rich countries in the Middle East, South America and Africa.<\/p>\n
