SINGAPORE, Oct 1 (Reuters) - Yangzijiang Shipbuilding (Holdings)
Ltd , China's second-largest listed shipyard, said it had won
shipbuilding contracts worth about $871 million since early September.
The
company received new orders for four bulk carriers, each of 208,000
deadweight tonnes, with options for two identical vessels. In addition,
options for 13 vessels, including eight bulk carriers and five container
ships, were converted into effective orders, the company said in a
statement.
The company did not reveal the firms signing the deals.
Yangzijiang,
China's most profitable yard, said it secured 25 effective shipbuilding
contracts with a total value of $1.085 billion in the third quarter,
lifting its year-to-date contract wins to $2.1 billion.
The large
orders accompanied a rebound in shipbuilding contracts at Chinese
shipyards this year. Total orders won have exceeded those for all of
2012, although only a few big yards, including Yangzijiang, have
benefited.
