据韩媒报道，韩国中型船企STX海洋造船和城东造船或将合并作为两家船企的债权人，韩国进出口银行和韩国产业银行(KDB)正在协商合并的可能性去年8月曾有消息称，韩国政府计划合并STX海洋造船和城东造船，并开会讨论合并事项

According to Korean media reports, South Korean medium-sized shipbuilding enterprises STX ocean shipbuilding and Chengdong shipbuilding may merge as creditors of the two shipbuilding enterprises. The Export Import Bank of Korea and the Korea Industrial Bank (KDB) are negotiating the possibility of merger. In August last year, it was reported that the South Korean government planned to merge STX ocean shipbuilding and Chengdong shipbuilding, and held a meeting to discuss the merger

韩国政府计划根据调查结果来对两家船厂进行精简和合并目前，STX造船由韩国产业银行管理，而城东造船则由韩国进出口银行管理韩国进出口银行首席执行官EunSung-soo表示，两家银行正在就合并STX造船和城东造船进行讨论，但目前尚未作出任何具体的计划

The South Korean government plans to streamline and merge the two shipyards according to the survey results. At present, STX shipbuilding is managed by the South Korean Industrial Bank, while Chengdong shipbuilding is managed by the Export Import Bank of Korea. Eunsung soo, CEO of the Export Import Bank of Korea, said that the two banks are discussing the merger of STX shipbuilding and Chengdong shipbuilding, but have not made any specific plans at present

在过去几年来，手持订单量减少以及产能过剩迫使韩国主要船企执行了大规模的重组措施，包括出售资产、裁员和削减产能，从而保证继续营业然而，STX造船、城东造船等中型船企却很难效仿大型船企的自救措施，这些中型船企的重组程序受到韩国国有银行和其他非商业银行的直接干预

In the past few years, the reduction of hand-held orders and overcapacity have forced major Korean ship enterprises to implement large-scale restructuring measures, including asset sales, layoffs and capacity reduction, so as to ensure continued business. However, medium-sized ship enterprises such as STX shipbuilding and Chengdong shipbuilding are difficult to follow the self-help measures of large-sized ship enterprises. The restructuring procedures of these medium-sized ship enterprises have been directly intervened by Korean state-owned banks and other non-commercial banks

STX造船一度是全球第四大造船企业，然而，随着造船业的持续衰退，STX造船长期低迷、亏损增加，自2013年以来，STX造船开始在债权人的控制下进行债务重组2016年5月，STX造船在韩国申请法院接管，并准备了新的重组计划，包括抛售资产、削减成本和债转股等措施

STX shipbuilding was once the fourth largest shipbuilding enterprise in the world. However, with the continuous decline of the shipbuilding industry, STX shipbuilding has been in a long-term downturn and increased losses. Since 2013, STX shipbuilding began debt restructuring under the control of creditors. In May 2016, STX shipbuilding applied for court takeover in South Korea and prepared a new restructuring plan, including measures such as asset selling, cost cutting and debt to equity swap

韩国城东造船曾经是全球最大中型船企，手持订单一度排名世界第10自2010年以来，城东造船陷入资金困境，几年来已从债权人手中陆续获得超过4万亿韩元(约合36亿美元)目前，城东造船在统营拥有3家船厂，现在仅剩一家仍在运营

South Korea Chengdong Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. was once the world's largest medium-sized shipbuilding enterprise, and once ranked 10th in the world with orders. Since 2010, Chengdong Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. has been in financial difficulties, and has successively obtained more than 4trillion won (about US $3.6 billion) from creditors over the past few years. At present, Chengdong Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. has three shipyards under its management, and now only one is still in operation
