The design and construction of ocean-going vessels is the responsibility of the shipbuilding industry. Today, much of the global production of ships is concentrated in Asian countries such as China, Japan and South Korea, although many other countries also have large shipyards. In the design and modification of ships, the shipbuilding industry is involved and these activities are carried out in specialized facilities called shipyards. The shipbuilding industry mainly supplies the shipping industry and, thus, it is difficult to address a shipbuilding cycle entirely outside the context of a shipping cycle. Shipbuilding cycles are primarily caused by supply-demand differences in the shipping industry.
