This article compares and contrasts Very Large Crude Carrier shipbuilding at Scott Lithgow's Glen shipyard, Port Glasgow, Scotland and Hyundai Heavy Industries shipyard, Ulsan, South Korea, initially to the same design, and VLCC shipbuilding in the United Kingdom, 1970–77 in general, at the two other United Kingdom shipyards capable of constructing VLCCs, Swan Hunter on Tyneside and Harland & Wolff in Belfast. It also discusses the collapse of the British shipbuilding industry's major customer for VLCCs, Maritime Fruit Carriers.
