It's probably still true, but the #1 and #2 largest shipyards in the world are right down the road from each other on the Koje-Do island - Samsung and Daewoo within just a few ships from each other in terms of overall size.
There are 3 very large shipbuilders in South Korea as it turns out.
I got a chance to get a tour of the Daewoo Shipyard back about 6 years ago now. And they had all manner of ships under construction, including ships as advanced as submarines -- all for external countries. The submarines were all for Germany IIR. It was very impressive.
