Dong-Hae Lee, Director of the Maritime Finance Center, delivered a presentation titled "Rebuilding the Shipbuilding Industry through Revitalizing Ship Financing."

In his speech, Director Lee introduced the Ship Newbuilding Support Program, a project he designed during his tenure as a director at the Korea Development Bank. He emphasized the mutual growth structure between ship financing and the shipbuilding industry.

As part of his vision for supporting small and medium-sized shipyards, he proposed the establishment of a Shipbuilding Mutual Aid Association to expand the issuance of refund guarantees (RGs) for eco-friendly small and medium-sized vessels. Additionally, he outlined strategies for fostering eco-friendly shipyards to strengthen the industry’s competitiveness in the global market.
