SEOUL (Dow Jones)–Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co. (042660.SE) said on Monday it expects around $11 billion in new orders next year while earmarking about KRW500 billion ($437 million) for capital expenditure.
Daewoo Shipbuilding has secured $14.8 billion in orders this year, exceeding its target of $11 billion, helped by strong demand for offshore equipment like drill ships, a company spokesman said by telephone.
The company expects offshore equipment will account for 70% to 80% of orders in 2012. Demand for commercial ships like container carriers will remain low next year.
