"It is darkest before dawn." This phrase from Paulo Coelho's novel 'The Alchemist' aptly describes our Korean shipbuilding industry and those who have been part of it through enduring difficult times. The shipbuilding sector, which had been pushed to the brink by a severe order drought lasting several years, is now preparing to soar vigorously, having revived even amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Just as the shipbuilding industry has regained its pride in building ships after healing its wounds, our task is to create stepping stones that allow domestic industrial sites to take a leap forward.
