The 100% equity interest in Taixing Tongzhou Warehousing Co was sold at a price of RMB500,000 ($77,800) to an unnamed independent third party.
Taixing Tongzhou Warehousing’s primary business is in the provision of storage handling services for the shipyards of Yangzijiang.
Singapore-listed Yangzijiang said the disposal will not have any significant impact on its earnings for the current financial year ending 31 December 2017.
The privately-owned Chinese shipbuilder has stayed profitable with a first half profit of RMB1.39bn amidst a prolonged severe recession of the global shipbuilding industry.
Last month, Yangzijiang announced a plan to raise approximately $154m by way of private placement of 137m ordinary shares to institutional and other investors.
