SEOUL, May 9 (Yonhap) -- President Lee Myung-bak said Wednesday South Korea should focus more on offshore plants and develop the industry in tandem with its traditional stronghold sector of shipbuilding, saying such a shift is a global trend.
Lee also said small- and medium-sized companies supplying shipbuilding parts should also be able to produce parts for offshore plants, stressing that technologies involved in making shipbuilding equipment are interconnected with offshore plant technologies.
