Samsung Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. may sell its non-core assets. The company recently stated, "shipbuilders would continue to struggle in 2017 because of their reliance on offshore orders, which have been dwindling due to a broad cooldown in the global economy. To beat these headwinds, the shipbuilders will continue with plans to sell off non-core assets. For example, Daewoo Shipbuilding will sell all assets not related to ship production to shore up liquidity, as well as scaling back plans for offshore projects. Hyundai Heavy and Samsung Heavy would do the same with assets that were not key to their shipbuilding business."
