Shipbuilding Summary

Dae Sun Shipbuilding & Engineering Co., Ltd., established in 1945 on Yeongdo Island, Busan, has a long-standing history in ship construction. The shipyard has continually modernised operations and today builds a range of vessels, including feeder containerships, bulk carriers, and small naval ships.

Design facilities
Dae Sun has developed a strong in-house design capability, recognised for creating its own hull forms and customised propeller designs, using both computer modelling and physical testing. The shipyard also performs structural design using finite element analysis (FEA) within its dedicated design office.

Construction facilities
Dae Sun operates across three yards, including the newly established Dadaepo yard.
The original yard covers 28,315m² and includes two building berths with capacities of 6,800 DWT and 4,500 DWT.

The second and third sites are significantly larger, each spanning over 62,000m², and are equipped with building berths capable of handling vessels up to 35,000 DWT.

Why Lloyd's Register?

Independent shipyard insight, future-ready newbuild guidance and expert advisory support to help you make confident new construction decisions from planning to delivery.

New construction decisions shape the performance, compliance and commercial value of a vessel for decades. Lloyd’s Register helps owners, operators, charterers and project teams make those decisions with greater clarity, combining trusted classification expertise with practical newbuild advisory support. 

Through LR’s New Construction Guide, clients can access independent shipyard intelligence across North Asia, including China, Korea and Japan. The guide helps compare shipyard capabilities, facilities, track record, vessel specialisms and future-fuel readiness, supporting smarter shipyard selection and earlier project planning.

Beyond the guide, LR provides advisory support across the full newbuild lifecycle. From technical specification development and design review to regulatory impact assessments, alternative fuel studies, energy efficiency, carbon capture readiness, site support and operational preparation, LR helps clients reduce uncertainty before it becomes a cost, a delay, or a risk. 

With global technical authority, local shipyard knowledge and deep maritime expertise, Lloyd’s Register supports future-ready vessels from the earliest concept through to construction and delivery, helping clients build with confidence in an increasingly complex market.
