Jintan Anshun bags contract to build 100 cement carriers
China’s Jintan Anshun Shipbuilding has bagged a contract worth more than RMB300m ($48.8m) to build 100 cement carriers of 1,500 dwt each.

The order, the largest to date for the Jiangsu province shipyard, will see the newbuildings trade in domestic waters for the transportation of cement.

An official from Jintan Anshun said the yard is now running at full capacity and any more new orders coming in now will see their construction start only from 2016.
