For growth look east

Article Abstract:

Danish marine equipment manufacturers concede that the country's shipyards are presently full and that they do not expect any marked growth in the newbuilding market. They believe that domestic growth will mainly be in retrofits and repairs. They are also optimistic about the potential of overseas markets such as South Korea, Japan and China, although market-entry problems are common.
