The recommendation
of the U.K. government influenced the Norwegian government and the Defense
Logistics Organization to choose DSME as its business partner. DSME
won an order from the United Kingdom Navy to build four combat support
ships in March last year. The U.K. government has been so impressed
with DSME’s project implementation capabilities that it had no
hesitation in providing its recommendation to the Norwegian government.
It is also significant that Norway was one of the countries that supplied
medical ships to Korea during the Korean War back in the 1950s
