Grant Description
China Eximbank provides $99.8 million loan for Phase 1 of Dung Quat Shipyard Project In October 2004, China Eximbank and Vietnam Shipbuilding Industry Corporation (Vinashin or Tổng công ty Công nghiệp Tàu thuỷ Việt Nam) — a state-owned shipbuilding firm in Vietnam — signed a $99.8 million loan agreement for Phase 1 of the Dung Quat Shipyard Project.
The proceeds of the loan were used to finance 100% of the EPC contract with Yunnan Machinery Import & Export Corporation (YMIEC).
The purpose of the project was to construct a 120,000 square meter shipyard in Binh Chau Village, Binh Son District, and Quang Ngai Province within the Dung Quat Economic Zone (DQEZ). YMIEC and Shanghai Huayuan Investment & Development Co. were the implementing contractors. A formal groundbreaking ceremony took place on January 23, 2003.
The project was originally scheduled for completion within 33 months (October 2007).
Upon completion in 2008, the shipyard was capable of building vessels with 300,000 deadweight tons (DWT) and repairing 600,000-DWT ships. As of August 2017, the shipyard was operating at a loss.
