HD Hyundai Heavy Industries said it has paid what it described as the shipbuilding industry’s largest performance bonuses to its in-house partner firms.

The company said Friday it paid up to 12 million won per person, including a 500,000-won holiday travel stipend, to workers at those partner firms.

HD Hyundai Heavy said it expanded this year’s bonus program to share management results and narrow gaps with partner firms. The total payout exceeds 200 billion won.

The company said it has continued bonus support for partner firms even during periods of weak industry conditions. It also said it is the only shipbuilder to provide holiday travel stipends to partner-firm employees and to offer free meals. It added that it runs other benefits programs for those workers, including education support.

“Partner firms are companions who build shipbuilding competitiveness with us,” a company official said. “We will continue to expand practical, mutually beneficial measures that can be felt on the ground.”
