[Concall] POSCO "Plan to Deliver Qatar LNG Carrier Steel Plates in Second Half of Next Year"

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Soyeon] POSCO stated on the 23rd during its earnings conference call, "Although the profitability of thick plates has been weak due to sluggish orders in the shipbuilding industry, with the shipbuilding sector securing an order for 100 LNG carriers from Qatar, materials are scheduled to be delivered in the second half of next year, so it seems that an opportunity is approaching." Additionally, they said, "We are reorganizing the portfolio in the thick plate segment toward non-shipbuilding sectors such as wind power and structural materials markets, so profitability is expected to improve."
