A fresh injection of cash for restructuring shipyard DSME could reach KRW 6 trillion ($5.3bn).

Creditors are ready to provide KRW 3 trillion as a debt-to-equity swap and the same again in new loans, according to financial industry sources cited by the Korea Economic Daily.

Korea's financial watchdog confirmed on Thursday it would announce new plans for DSME this month, but gave no further details.
