Groundbreaking ceremony for the Ulsan Shipyard

A groundbreaking ceremony for the Ulsan Shipyard was held in March 1972 The groundbreaking was attended by then-President Park Chung-hee, government ministers, and ambassadors from various countries, marking the birth of Korea’s shipbuilding industry

1974

Simultaneous completion of the shipyard and two supertankers

In just two years and three months after the groundbreaking in March 1972, the company completed the shipyard and successfully built two supertankers—setting a historic milestone in global shipbuilding

1979

Production of the first marine engine

In May 1979, Hyundai Heavy Industries produced its first domestically built marine engine, the 9,380-horsepower Hyundai B&W 7L55GF, which was installed in the 25,000-ton bulk carrier “Haejeong (海貞)” ordered by Shinhan Shipping

1980

Held a naming ceremony for ROKS Ulsan, Korea’s first warship

In December 1980, a handover and naming ceremony was held for Korea’s first warship, ROKS Ulsan. With the successful construction of the 2,000-ton ROKS Ulsan, HD Hyundai Heavy Industries positioned Korea as a warship-producing nation

1983

Selected as the world's number one shipyard

In 1983, HD Hyundai Heavy Industries was named the world’s number one shipyard That year, the company built 2.226 million tons of ships, achieving the world’s highest shipbuilding volume

1994

Construction of Korea’s first LNG carrier

The vessel, named “Hyundai Utopia,” was Korea’s first LNG carrier and could transport natural gas in a 125,000 ㎥ tank The localization of LNG carrier production, a representative high value-added vessel, positioned Korea as a leader in advanced shipbuilding

2000

Development of “HiMSEN,” a proprietary medium-duty engine

In August 2000, after about 10 years of development, the company completed proprietary development of the medium-duty HiMSEN engine, reinforcing its status as a global engine maker—despite early skepticism

2001

Completion of the world’s largest deep sea FPSO

In February 2001, a completion ceremony was held for the Girassol FPSO, the company’s first newbuild FPSO. Successfully completing the world’s largest FPSO project at the time, the company emerged as a major player in offshore equipment

2002

Launch of Hyundai Heavy Industries Group (now HD Hyundai Group)

In February 2002, the spin-off of Hyundai Heavy Industries was approved. Upon its launch, Hyundai Heavy Industries Group announced its commitment to enhancing corporate value through transparent and rational management

2007

Launch of ROKS Sejong the Great, Korea’s first Aegis destroyer

In May 2007, HD Hyundai Heavy Industries held a launching ceremony for ROKS Sejong the Great (KDX-III), Korea’s first 7,000-ton Aegis destroyer. Construction of the Aegis destroyer marked Korea’s first and the world’s third successful Aegis warship program.

2009

Completion of the Marine H Dock

HD Hyundai Heavy Industries completed the world’s first FPSO dock, setting a global precedent in offshore construction. KRW 140 billion was invested in the H Dock, Hyundai Heavy Industries’ tenth dock, which has a capacity of 1 million tons—the largest in the world

2012

Surpassing the 100 million GT milestone

In March 2012, 40 years after the first groundbreaking, the company reached 107.17 million GT in shipbuilding volume. By continuously developing new construction methods—such as onshore building, ship submersion (沈水), and T-docks—the company expanded its shipbuilding capacity and significantly shortened construction periods. As a result, it became the world’s first shipbuilder to surpass 100 million GT

2014

Delivery of the world's first floating LNG storage regasification unit (FSRU)

FSRUs are more efficient than conventional onshore LNG terminals, with lower construction costs and shorter installation times This technology has enabled HD Hyundai Heavy Industries to secure a leading position in the global LNG market and continue advancing eco-friendly ship and equipment development

2020

Production of Korea’s first LPG dual fuel engine

LPG dual-fuel propulsion technology enables the use of both diesel and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). HD Hyundai Heavy Industries leads in eco-friendly shipbuilding and supports the global shipping industry’s carbon neutrality goals

2023

Change of company name to HD Hyundai Heavy Industries

In 1978, the company changed its name from Hyundai Shipbuilding Heavy Industries to Hyundai Heavy Industries. After 45 years, the name was changed again to HD Hyundai Heavy Industries to begin a new chapter in the company’s future
