2024年：在供应短缺的情况下，韩国造船商获得多艘VLCC订单，数量超过中国。 2024: Korean shipbuilders secure multiple VLCC orders amid supply shortage, surpassing China's intake.

2024年，韩国造船商在供应短缺的情况下积极竞购超大型原油运输船（VLCC），HD韩国造船和韩华海洋在2月份各获得了两份订单，这是三年来的首次。 In 2024, Korean shipbuilders are actively bidding for Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs) amid a supply shortage, with HD Korea Shipbuilding and Hanwha Ocean securing two orders each in February, marking the first time in three years. VLCC 价格接近 9000 万美元的盈亏平衡点，推动了订单激增。 The surge in orders is driven by VLCC prices approaching the $90 million break-even point. 这导致韩国 2 月份的船舶订单量超过中国，在全球市场上获得了 171 万 CGT（28 艘船）。 This resulted in Korea overtaking China in ship order intake in February, securing 1.71 million CGT (28 ships) in the global market.
