Shipbuilding Summary

COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry (Guangdong) Co., Ltd. is a joint venture established through the merger of COSCO (Guangdong) Shipyard and China Shipping Industry B LM Shipyard in November 2017. It is a subsidiary of COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry Co., Ltd., the shipbuilding and repair arm of COSCO Shipping Corporation Group.

The company operates both newbuild and repair facilities. The newbuild yard is in Machong, Dongguan City, Guangdong Province, while the repair operations are based in both Huangpu, Guangzhou City, and Machong.

Originally focused on ship repair and conversion, the shipyard expanded its capabilities in 2007 by acquiring an additional 0.45km² of land and constructing modern facilities to support newbuild operations. This enabled the yard to build vessels of up to 100,000 DWT, with an estimated annual production capacity of approximately 20 vessels.

The yard delivered its first newbuild series — 57,000 DWT bulk carriers — in April 2009, with the fifth vessel of the series entering production in May 2009. These orders primarily came from European-based shipowners.

The shipyard is equipped with two floating docks (150,000 DWT and 80,000 DWT capacity), seven repair berths, and a 1.4 km outfitting quay.

The company’s newbuild portfolio includes a 1,750 TEU container vessel series — 11 vessels built for European and Asian clients — and a dredger vessel constructed in 2018 for Royal IHC.

Design and engineering support is available through COSCO Group’s COSCO-KOMAC Design Centre and the COSCO Shipyard Group Technical Centre, with both concept and production design services.

Why Lloyd's Register?

Independent shipyard insight, future-ready newbuild guidance and expert advisory support to help you make confident new construction decisions from planning to delivery.

New construction decisions shape the performance, compliance and commercial value of a vessel for decades. Lloyd’s Register helps owners, operators, charterers and project teams make those decisions with greater clarity, combining trusted classification expertise with practical newbuild advisory support. 

Through LR’s New Construction Guide, clients can access independent shipyard intelligence across North Asia, including China, Korea and Japan. The guide helps compare shipyard capabilities, facilities, track record, vessel specialisms and future-fuel readiness, supporting smarter shipyard selection and earlier project planning.

Beyond the guide, LR provides advisory support across the full newbuild lifecycle. From technical specification development and design review to regulatory impact assessments, alternative fuel studies, energy efficiency, carbon capture readiness, site support and operational preparation, LR helps clients reduce uncertainty before it becomes a cost, a delay, or a risk. 

With global technical authority, local shipyard knowledge and deep maritime expertise, Lloyd’s Register supports future-ready vessels from the earliest concept through to construction and delivery, helping clients build with confidence in an increasingly complex market.
