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.

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.
