The restructuring of Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) has taken another step forward after shareholders approved a plan to separate out non-core units.

The vote by investors took place on Monday, the third consecutive day of the first all-out strikes by unionised workers since the 1990s.

The action strike caused the shareholders meeting to be adjourned four times.

More than 1,000 workers with shares attended the gathering and tried to block the voting.
