Nick Brown, Chief Executive Officer
CEO Welcome
Amidst a new construction boom driven by containership and gas carrier orders, the global fleet is ageing.
Decarbonisation continues to impact order decisions as the industry seeks clarity on future fuels. Vessels on order today will likely operate in a net-zero emissions supply chain by 2050. Shipyards are now focused on future-fuel capable and efficient vessel design, complimented by emissions reduction technologies for the most cost-effective sailings possible.
As ships’ specifications evolve to achieve net-zero, so too does the technical and operational expertise required to ensure vessel safety. LR's ongoing track record for achieving the highest standards in newbuild quality is testament to our ability to draw from our rich centre of global expertise, delivered locally in the shipyard. We are proud to be the class society of choice for a significant number of shipowners and shipyards, collaborating on projects that support our clients’ commercial and operational ambitions. We’re looking forward to working with you during this exciting era of ship design, technology and construction.

This is Lloyd’s Register’s guide to the major shipyards in North Asia. All information was up-to-date at the time of publication (May 2025). We hope you find it informative and would welcome your suggestions for improvements in future editions.
We have designed this interactive shipyard guide to be easy to navigate. The master pages include the main navigational and page elements, as well as the custom grid that drives the design. Everything is organised into layers to keep elements clean and easy to access. We recommend locking layers to avoid accidentally moving items, turning them on and off when needed. Contact LR for intelligence and insights on shipyards and information on our new construction services.
