Shanghai Bestway Marine Engineering Design Co has awarded the shipbuilding contracts for 200 LNG-powered ships it received from Green Power Water Transport, to its affiliated shipyard Jiangsu Dajin Heavy Industry.

Shanghai Bestway acquired Dajin Heavy Industry in 2013 as part of its long term business plan, having also taken over the shipbuilding facility of the bankrupt Jiangsu Bolunbao Shipbulding in the same year.

Dajin Heavy Industry said its current orderbook will keep the shipyard busy through to October 2016.
