A government-established fund for the revival of the shipbuilding industry is inducing private-sector capital investment. 函館どつく has announced plans to reopen No. 4 Dock, which has been idle for many years, while 新来島どっく has decided on its largest-ever investment. This is expected to accelerate efforts to double Japan’s shipbuilding capacity by 2035.
函館どつく handles hull repairs for vessels involved in defense missions in northern Japan, and is expected to reopen the dock for the first time since 1993. 新来島どっく aims to strengthen domestic shipbuilding capacity by expanding its capital investment.
Plans to double shipbuilding output by 2035 are moving toward implementation, and production capacity is expected to be strengthened through private investment and public-private cooperation.
