Japanese yards set to restructure

Article Abstract:

The strength of the Japanese yen, coupled with premature orders from many shipowners, are causing problems in the continuing competitiveness of the country's shipbuilding industry. Some of the nation's conglomerates, the owners of Japan's biggest shipyards, have already began implementing efforts aimed at enhancing cost-efficiency and are focusing their energies on projects with better returns on investment. Industry insiders are predicting that mergers and spin-off among the major shipbuilders will be inevitable.
