Three Shanghai-based shipbuilding yards under China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC), Jiangnan Shipyard, Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding and Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding have bagged 63 newbuilding orders in the first half of this year.

The three yards in total delivered 29 vessels in the first half, laying a firm foundation for completing the year production target. 

Newly received order volume of the three yards keeps increasing during the first six months, among which the high and middle-end vessel type accounts for over 90% of the total volume. 

Among the 63 newly received orders, 42% are special gas carriers including LNG, VLEC and VLGC, setting a new record for the yards.
