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

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.
