Weihai Samjin Shipbuilding restarts operations after successful restructuring

The Chinese Weihai Samjin Shipbuilding restarted operations after successful restructuring. The company was acquired by the investor Xiaoke Holdings, which successfully completed 16-month restructuring process in December 2015 and applied to the local court for restart of the operations. Behind the revival of the former Korean-invested shipyard stays the Chinese businessman Xu Caizhong, who is president of Xiaoke Holdings and one of the founders of Zhejiang Zhenghe Shipbuilding. During the previous year, he invested 46 million USD into Weihai Samjin Shipbuilding, repaying its debts and employees salaries. The Chinese businessman plans to deliver six vessels in 2016, as already moved construction of two 6,300 DWT heavy lift vessels and ten 11,000 DWT tankers from Zhejiang Zhongchuan to Weihai Samjin shipyard. http://www.newsmaritime.com/2016/weihai-samjin-shipbuilding-restarted-operations-after-successful-restructuring/

The cargo have since been sent back to Ecuador.
