SEOUL, Feb. 18 (Korea Bizwire) – Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME), the second largest shipbuilder in the world, has had eleven of its vessels selected as the best ships of 2014 by several magazines exclusively dedicated to shipbuilding and shipping, including Naval Architect, Maritime Reporter and Marine Log, said the company on January 21.
Three container ships and two oil tankers built by DSME were selected as the best marine vessels of 2014, while one LNG carrier, one LNG Floating Storage & Regasification Unit (FSRU), and one car-shipping vessel were also acknowledged as featuring the world’s best technology.
DSME’s three purpose-built ships for marine plants and deepwater applications were also praised as the best ships of 2014. Pieter Schelte, or Pioneering Spirit, the world’s largest platform installation vessel built, was one of the three.
Two ships built by Daewoo Mangalia Heavy Industries (DMHI), DSME’s overseas subsidiary, also featured on the lists of 2014′s best ships by the influential magazines.
