Despite the burgeoning orderbook it has not all been plain sailing for the Chinese ship

“Power crunch amidst shortage of coal supplies in China has led to electricity rationing and production halt at numerous factories in the months of September and October, but the impact on the group’s shipyards were kept under control. Since the beginning of November, restrictions and constraints on electricity usage have eased and the shipyards are now back to normal operations,” said the company.

Yangzijiang’s major shipyards are currently operating at full utilization and there are no changes to the group’s scheduled delivery of vessels in the second half of 2021.
