Gross profit rose 65.1% to $626m.

Yangzijiang Shipbldg reported a 77.2% spike in its net profit for H1 2024 to $571m (RMB3.1b) from $313m (RMB1.7b) in H1 2023.

Gross profit also rose 65.1% to $626m (RMB3.4b) from $387m (RMB2.1b) a year ago.

Revenue grew 15.3% to $2.39b (RMB13b) from $2.1b (RMB11.3b) in H1 2023, driven by the Shipbuilding segment's strong performance, which saw a 16.3% YoY increase of $313m (RMB1.7b), bringing its total to $2.28b (RMB12.4b).

Shipbuilding growth was driven by increased construction activities and better pricing for newbuild vessels. The Group delivered 35 vessels during the period and, including 2 ships for its own fleet, reached 59% of its annual target of 63 vessels.

In the same period, Yangzijiang secured a total of 79 new orders worth $11.3b (US$8.5b), with 79% of the new orders classified under the clean energy vessels category including 12 gas carriers, 18 LNG dual-fuel vessels, and 17 methanol dual-fuel vessels.

These new orders brought the company’s net order book to a record-high of 224 vessels worth $26.7b (US$20.2b), ensuring earnings visibility until mid-2028.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
