Introduction

The year 2008 witnessed unexpected economic recession and the global steel market collapsed and major ship contracts have been withdrawn. Is it going to be an even tougher year for global steel and shipbuilding industry in 2009? When will shipbuilding steel demand rebound in face of the current gloomy market?

What would be the situation of shipbuilding and offshore construction projects in 2009? Will price disparity in different regions boost steel trading? Will China steel futures be in favor of shipbuilding sector? Will the stimulus package really stimulate domestic shipbuilding industry in 2009?

As a giant player in this field, how will the Korean shipbuilding industry ride out of the financial breakdown in 2008? How will steel industry in Japan face the situation?

Strategic cooperation has been reached among China, Japan and Korea, set to cut cost to survive the market. Ship demand shrank in Europe, while it is a converse story in south Asian countries like Thailand and Viet Nam.

Is it a new drive of downstream demand in India, Pakistan and the Middle East for the industry?

Different opinions do remain in line with the mixed picture of steel, shipbuilding and offshore construction projects.
Steels for Shipbuilding & Offshore 2009 Conference is held assembling delegates from China, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Viet Nam, India, Pakistan, the Middle East, West Africa and South America to find answers to all the above questions. Together, we foresee the outlook of the industry.
