“I believe we have the upper hand in terms of technology transfer and submarine training programs in the Indonesian competition, compared to our rivals,”

Export bids

As for the military export market, Daewoo is competing for an Indonesian submarine acquisition program worth $1 billion. Jakarta plans to buy four diesel submarines.

The company promotes its 1,300-ton, Type-209 submarine to compete with Russia, Germany and France. The Type-209 sub was built under technical assistance with Germany’s HDW.

The diesel/electric propulsion sub measures 56 meters in length and 5.5 meters in width. It can submerge to a depth of up to 250 meters and has an underwater endurance of about two weeks.

“I believe we have the upper hand in terms of technology transfer and submarine training programs in the Indonesian competition, compared to our rivals,” Nam said. “Negotiations are still under way and we expect good results.”

According to Daewoo officials, the shipyard has signed a letter of intent (LOI) with Awilco Offshore, a Norwegian drilling rig owner, for the delivery of four LNG carriers. The deal is valued at $800 million.

Once a final contract is signed, Daewoo will become the second Korean company to receive an order for LNG carriers after Samsung Heavy Industries. Earlier, Samsung signed a deal to deliver eight LNG carriers to Norway’s Golar LNG.

Industry watchers anticipate overseas orders for LNG carriers will continue to rise in the face of high oil prices and the nuclear crisis in Japan following a massive earthquake.

Major oil companies in Qatar and Russia are scheduled to give order LNG carriers, according to industry officials
