Yangzijiang Shipbuilding faces potential $4.47m refund from two contracts

The proceedings pertain to 10 vessel contracts amounting to about $1.12b.

Singapore-listed Yangzijiang Shipbuilding (Holdings) Ltd. faces a potential refund claim after a London arbitration tribunal upheld the right of certain customers to seek a $4.47m (USD3.32m) deposit, plus potential interest, under two shipbuilding contracts.

Thee tribunal, however, has yet to make a final decision on the matter and retains the authority to issue further awards.

The arbitration, initiated by multiple claimants in June and September 2022, alleged breaches of 10 shipbuilding contracts and sought approximately $1.12b (US$832.2m) in damages, including claims for loss of bargain and loss of profits. However, the tribunal dismissed the bulk of these claims, only allowing the refund request whilst reserving jurisdiction for further rulings.

Yangzijiang stated that the ruling is not expected to have a material impact on its financial position for the year ending 31 December 2025. The company is monitoring the situation closely and evaluating its next steps with legal advisors.

Shareholders are advised to exercise caution when dealing in Yangzijiang's securities. The company will provide further updates as necessary.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
