Yangzijiang’s shipbuilding contracts reach a whopping $1.81b YTD

These will keep its yards busy until 2016.

Yangzijiang Shipbuilding (YZJ) reported not-so-impressive financials in 3Q, but its orderbook stands promising.

The group delivered eight vessels in 3Q14, similar to 3Q13, and its order book stands at 114 vessels worth a total of US$4.6b, comprising 94 bulk carriers (US$3.1b) and 20 containerships (US$1.5b). YTD, the group has secured 32 effective shipbuilding contracts worth a total of US$1.4b, and these will keep its yards busy till end 2016.

According to management, compared to last year, the Chinese shipbuilding industry is starting to show signs of a recovery as the industry consolidates. This should benefit yards that are “left standing” such as YZJ.

The fall in oil prices should also support the shipping industry, in terms of lower fuel costs.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
