Super tanker

Sections of a Liquified Natural Gas
(LNG) tanker stand under construction
at the Hyundai Heavy Industries Co.
shipyard in Ulsan, South Korea.
Stretching over 4km along the coast of
Mipo Bay, the shipyard is one of the
largest in the world, with 10 massive
dry docks and nine huge ‘goliath
cranes’. Since opening in 1972, it has
produced almost 2,000 ships for
companies in 52 countries. The vast
size of the tanker is evident against the
tiny mopeds lined up to the right of the
central crane.
