| The heart of the ship to sail the ocean 'engines and generators industry'! |
As the central institution of the heart circulatory system, the normal adult heart, just a little bigger than fist (13 * 9 * 6cm), and weighs approximately 300g degree conical shape of the pocket is located under the lungs.
Aggregated all the blood in here, blood getting back from a vein is sent to arterial blood likely as the pump. if adult fist-sized heart stops, you do not turn your whole body with blood, and each requires a supply of oxygen to the organs in our bodies, if not, getting into the body decay. In other words, because the light of life turned off once happening heart failure, while living, the heart rate should be constantly got to run. While we do not awaken the heart is faithful to their role quietly in order to live a life. Engine serves as the heart in the vessel institutions. Likely Our heart that makes everyone's life going on, the engine also continues to drive forward through interactive process to produce power. In contrast, of course, the engine stopping means to stop the upcoming voyage that is a very important role. Domestic marine engines and generators have been continued to have a breakthrough together with shipbuilding industry. At staggering rates evolved in the development of the current world ranks, but are limited in production technology. Most important source is in the foreign advanced technology to businesses, and therefore approximately 7 to 10 percent of profits is paid as royalties. Ⅰ. The importance of the ship engines and generators industry In terms of moving machinery such as cars, boats and aircraft, the importance of the engine need to be emphasized. In particular, the use of vessels can be identified as for the transportation of passengers and cargo, and for the more efficient way to achieve the purpose the actuator performance is essential. Accordingly, in the shipbuilding industry, the importance of marine engines are to be continued and also when selecting the ship, marine engines has been carefully considered. 
The core technology of the ship is in diesel engines, but the domestic industry not having proprietary technology in the technical aspects or foreign degrees moves into having a close relationship with the world economy and according to the logic of domestic shipbuilders, the fierce competition between engine makers and shipbuilders reduced the competitiveness of the shipping industry. In addition, some key technologies such as turbocharger or governor rely on overseas income and the total volume of foreign technology for especially electronic control components and therefore competitiveness in these key components need to be improved for the independence. Because the core of the domestic shipbuilding industry such as the diesel engine industry or the national power generation industry is the key areas, all these of enlargement of manufacturing industries, the expansion of infrastructure and job creation can be seen a key factor of the engine and generator industry.
In conclusion, the engine industry is a very important industry and the development of the key technologies and components industry needs for the future proprietary technology for marine engines and generators industry. Meanwhile, most of the owners and shipyards do a lot of effort to introduce the concept of greenship to increase the competitiveness of its vessels, and is looking for a number of ways to reduce fuel consumption, the most important factor to get a much better grade as part EEDI (Energy Efficiency Design Index),. Meanwhile, in the the engine industry it developed and applied Waste Heat Recovery system, G-engine for Propulsion efficiency by reducing engine RPM and Efficiency Optimized dot2 engine. In addition, with Tier III application to 2016 it finishes a review adapting ME-GI and DF engine developed for LNG to the reduction of SOx pole, to a general ship, finds reasonable owners, and develops SCR (Selective Catalytic Reaction) or EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) for NOx reduction and does various tests. here recognizing the realization of greenship that shipbuilding and marine industries request is essential and going forward for investments associated with the production of engines and systems, and plant investment to the future direction of the market initiative and please keeping in mind this is the only method chasing China in domestic shipbuilding and engine industry. Ⅱ. Status of the ship engines and generators industry Shipbuilding industry has so large a ripple effect for the General Assembly related industries, namely steel industry, mechanical engineering, electrical/electronics industry, metal industry and petrochemical industry. In particular, in the machinery industry 30% of the line causes the effect of the creation for the demand, and in Japan, about 60% of general machinery industries is dependent on shipbuilding industry for its volume. Therefore, Engine Industry, the center of the machinery industry is vital to the automotive industry and the shipbuilding industry. Given the political importance of this industry, government authorities established and supported for automotive engine industry in the early 1970s. Meanwhile, the marine diesel engine is accounted for 15% to 20% of the ship prices. Diesel engine, the device to convert the heat energy generated by burning diesel fuel to the mechanical energy (drive energy) is primarily used as a device to convert the ship, generators,construction equipment, rail vehicles and specialized equipment such as Defense agencies, and as a key elements crucial in determining the performance of the mounting equipment and price, thermal efficiency (45%) is highest among the existing marine-cycle. Shipbuilding industries are closely related to electrical, construction, automotive and parts industry industries associated with diesel engine business and especially marine engines are the major components, accounting for 15% to 20% of marine materials. As mentioned previously, the cycle engine can be divided into marine engines (for drive) and view engines (power generation), and one view engine and 3-4 veiw engine usually will be equipped in general merchant vessels. The former usually adapts the low-speed two-stroke cycle engine, and the latter does primarily for medium-speed four-stroke engine. 1. The domestic status of the ship engines and generators industry While looking the recovery in the global economy, and recording international oil prices above $ 90 a barrel, the world's ship orders are improving the market environment again. In contrast to these situation, all vessels since the 1980's stay historical 1,180 $ / DWT. Phase of recovery tends to resume the order. Ship engine maker in Korea as well as shipbuilders has formed the top status for in the world market. While the world's shipbuilding industry goes through a huge boom for a local engine makers in China, still the domestic shipbuilding companies and engine production technology is behind more than shipbuilding capacity. Therefore, the recovery of the global shipbuilding industry is believed to be linked to the benefit of the domestic shipyards and engine manufacturers. 
Child RongSheng heavy industries, China's largest private shipbuilding is expected to increase the low-speed engine through the subsidiary company, Rong An Power Machinery. Because Chinese engine makers will supply the engine for only part of their national vessels, the domestic engine makers have chances sufficiently, and especially because the new orders of Chinese shipbuilders are much for offshore that medium-speed engine is used as the main, domestic engine makers' benefits are expected.
In China Shipbuilding Industry limiting the entry of the foreign companies, STX engine and Doosan engines that are doing business in China in advance are paid attention to. STX Engine enters into China market through STX Dalian, and Doosan Engine is high for new order of low-speed engines from the local shipyard in China. Yet because China local engine makers do not begin medium-speed engine, the technology gap between domestic firms is difficult to reduce in the short term. Accordingly, STX Engine and Doosan Engine are estimated to be available for two-way benefit recovery in the world shipbuilding industry and growth of Chinese shipbuilding industry. Domestic marine engine manufacturers are Hyundai Heavy Industries, Doosan Engine and STX Engine, and among these Hyundai Heavy Industries has been manufacturing 4ST dual-medium speed engine. Figure 1 is trends in production capacity of the Korea engine manufacturers'. Orders ship in the order of the engine companies typically take six months and of the crank shaft and engine parts order from engine companies to the forging companies take about six months. Unlike high rate of automation automobile production, shipbuilding has long terms and high rate of the work, and therefore proper parts and equipment supply according to the elapse of shipbuilding are very important. Accordingly, Samsung Heavy Industries and Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering where having no self-Engine Business Unit can procure engines reliably through participating in the shares of Doosan Engine. Hyundai Heavy and STX Offshore & Shipbuilding is financing the engine from its divisions and affiliates. Looking at Table 2 STX where not having forging parts as its subsidiaries gets the crankshaft and the engine from Hyunjin. In Doosan Engine, crankshaft applied to the low-speed large-engine is procured from Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction Co., but for a smaller medium speed engine crankshaft forgings it’s outsourcing through Hyunjin.  Ship engine orders typically a six-month time difference after the new order, and the engine manufacturer to engine parts procurement will take an additional six months. When considering this, until the marine engine mount after new orders it occurs approximately 12 months time interval. Global shipping new orders in 2010 is around 32 million CGT by the end of November, which is more than double compared to 2009. Accordingly, new orders for marine engines will show re-growth from the second half of 2011 and performance of the domestic Engine 3, a global leader in the engine's is expected to get benefit large (see Figure 2). Looking at Figure 3,4 the global market for low-speed marine engine, based on sales and production horsepower, Hyundai Heavy Industries, Doosan Engine and STX have the rank of 1-3 and the shares of three companies are accounted for 57% over global market share. In Medium-speed marine engines, Hyundai Heavy Industries occupies the largest share and STX Engine has the following ranks. It proves that the competitiveness of the domestic shipbuilding is sharing with marine engine division. On the other hand, in the case of domestic small and medium-sized engines it usually combine a Hyundai car engine into marine engine in the production and this marine engine manufacturers in the country are estimated to be about six or seven companies: Table 3 is the status of licensed entities for Korea, China, Japan on 2009. In Korea, there are Hyundai Heavy Industries, Doosan Engine and STX.   Ⅲ. Views of the ship engines and generators industry 1. The relationship between all vessels volume status and engine orders The global market for new building for in 2010 is 31 million CGT compared to 14 million CGT in 2009 that is the approximately two-fold increase in three years (see Figure 5). See Figure 6 of the world economy in the second half last year shows significant recovery, international oil prices were above $ 90 a barrel, and copper prices had recovered to 2008 levels. 2009 average prices to all vessels since the 1980s, stayed at the historical average 1,1,08 $ / DWT. Considering inflation all vessels currently significantly are lower than in the past and because of the recovery phase of the global economy the owners to expand the order from the perspective of a burden than in 2009 is more relaxed situation. Accordingly, the global shipbuilding industry in the year is going ahead after recovery and performance improvements in domestic engine manufacturer is figured.(See Figure7). Looking at Figure 8 and 9, it can find marine engine trends in the global market, and the volume plunged in 2009 comes to market in 2013 which is estimated to be high level than a year. But then a gradual rise in volumes is predicted too.  2. Expecting fierce competition in the Marine engines market between China and Korea According to RongSheng heavy industries, China's largest privately owned shipbuilding company, marine engines and engine parts are around approximately 33% of the total cost and take up about 10% in the sales prices and therefore shipyards in China marine engines are stepping up efforts to reduce procurement costs. RongSheng heavy industries in the past produced through a strategic partnership with Doosan engine for the low speed engine, but the total volume since 2008 is increasing the percentage of low-speed engine through its subsidiary Rong An Power Machinery, Rong An Power Machinery in the first half of last year has entered into License Agreement with MAN B & W and Wartsila and production capacity is expected to increase to 5,000,000 horsepower. Chinese engine makers are gradually increasing key parts such as Cylinder, Bedplates and is expected to increase production rate of the marine engine sector. Marine engine market in China is expected to grow steadily, but the Chinese engine manufacturers are still poor in share and technology compared to the domestic market. As a result, Chinese shipyards and engine manufacturers are cooperating with engine makers in Japan to improve manufacturing techniques. Shipyards in China are focusing increasingly to be important as high-value orders Offshore and special marine and a growing proportion of the market believes that competition will be noted. STX, through STX Dalian, is expected to increase a percentage of viability. The order backlog of STX Dalian Engine based on last year's quarter is 2329 million yuan and the level of STX Dalian Shipbuilding is 29%, and the remaining 71 percent share of China's local shipbuilding. Doosan Engine expects long-term supply contracts with large shipyard in China such as RongSheng heavy industries, Dalian Shipbuilding industries and Sino pacific engines. Figure 10 compares the production capacity of the low-speed engine between Korea and China. 
Ⅳ. Summary
Domestic engines and generators is very high for the world market share of the industry. Especially in the case of Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., the world's first 100,000,000 hp on2010 had achieved. As domestic companies with only technology alliance without its own technology it’s an unprecedented feat. Also, Doosan Engine is in the world market with the annual production of 9,000,000 horsepower engine and is accounted for approximately 25% over the world market. STX Engine also produces annually 3,000,000 horsepower engine and is accounted for about 50% in the world. Ensuring the development of core technologies has a significant impact to improve the competitiveness of the shipbuilding industry as well as the engine industry. Of course, in order to persuade the conservative owners, a near-perfect long-term, systematic consideration should be based as a standard. Even though first ship construction was only to assemble on the level, now we are building more than 90 percent from our technology. World praises our country as Shipbuilding powerhouse in the world. Now we need to get out ahead of time to think technology and the environment for the second act. ■ References . Yahoo Search . Industry Resources . E-Trade Korea Research Center .
