This original cast bronze builder’s plaque is from Samsung Heavy Industries, one of South Korea’s leading shipbuilders and a major force in the global shipbuilding industry. The plaque records Ship No. 1086, delivered in 1993, and would have been mounted aboard the completed vessel as the official shipyard builder’s plate. During the early 1990s, Samsung Heavy Industries was producing a wide range of tankers, bulk carriers, container ships and offshore vessels for customers worldwide, establishing a reputation for advanced engineering and high-quality construction.

Featuring the distinctive Samsung Heavy Industries logo, bold raised lettering and solid bronze construction, this plaque is an authentic piece of modern maritime history. The naturally aged patina adds to its character, making it an excellent collectible for enthusiasts of commercial shipping, shipbuilding and industrial heritage. As it includes the original Ship No. 1086 and 1993 delivery date, it also offers the potential for further research into the vessel on which it was originally installed.
