From time immemorial, humanity's existence has been deeply intertwined with water, which constitutes approximately 80% of our planet's surface through oceans, rivers, and lakes. Particularly for a nation bounded by water on three sides, venturing into the vast oceans has always been a calling of historical significance. At SamKwang Shipbuilding & Engineering Co., Ltd., founded in 1977, we have eagerly embraced this calling. Our ambition has been to contribute to the maritime industry by engaging in the construction of vessels, which serves as a bridge to the world's oceans, in line with our commitment to national development through shipbuilding.
