Its Seoul headquarters is the most eye-catching disposal candidate as the shipbuilder today placed a for sale sign over all non-core assets.
Other assets on the block include its Gulf Coast resort and training centre and its wind power business.
Analysts suggest the corporate headquarters will provide the largest injection of cash for the company, which booked a huge operating loss in the second quarter.
Shipyard doctor Jung Sung-leep is now in command of DSME, into which leading shareholder Korea Development Bank is reported to have injected KRW 1 trillion ($1.7bn) this summer.
Shares in DSME were trading down over 5% at the time of writing Monday, changing hands at KRW 6,420 each – the bottom of its 52 week range.
