The study defined an active yard as a facility with at least one ship on its backlog.
Active Chinese yards were down from 380 to 140 and Japanese yards fell from 70 to 60 over the same period, the association said.
Even worse, the biggest shipyards in the world – DSME, Hyundai Heavy and Samsung Heavy – may well have empty space and unused capacity sometime next year.
