The 10 containerships are scheduled to be delivered from 2022.

Mainboard-listed Yangzijiang Shipbuilding has inked a new shipbuilding contract to build up to 10 vessels worth $1.63b (US$1.15b) for Hong Kong-based maritime investment firm Tiger Group, according to a press release.

The 10 dual-fuel 14,000TEU containerships have a contract value of $163.28m (US$115m) each. Two of the vessels are firm orders whilst the remaining eight are options. These vessels are scheduled to be delivered from mid-2022.

This deal is considered to be amongst Yangzijiang’s largest orders in value, according to the group’s CEO Ren Letian. With these orders, the group expects to have a stable revenue stream for at least the next two years.

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.
