Shipbuilding Summary

Fujian Mawei Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., originally founded in 1866, is one of the oldest shipyards in China, with a long history of constructing naval vessels. Since the 1980s, the shipyard has shifted its focus to building commercial vessels for export, serving international shipowners.

Over the years, the yard has successfully delivered feeder container vessels of up to 900 TEU, multipurpose vessels (MPVs) up to 20,000 DWT, bulk carriers up to 32,000 DWT, and various offshore support tugs.

In December 2001, the shipyard was restructured into a shareholding company under the name Fujian Mawei Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., located along the Min River in the Mawei Economic and Technical Development Zone.

The facility offered both newbuilding and repair services for mid-sized commercial vessels, equipped with three slipways (30,000 DWT, 15,000 DWT, and 3,000 DWT), one 20,000 DWT drydock, a 345m outfitting berth.

The yard built experience producing small to mid-size vessels including container feeder ships, MPVs, offshore AHTS and support vessels, small tankers, and bulk carriers. All production and repair work is certified under ISO 9001 and OHSAS
18001 standards.

In December 2016, the shipyard relocated to Lianjiang, Fuzhou City, China, where the new facility includes a drydock measuring 280m × 82m × 13.5m equipped with a 700-tonne gantry crane, a 1,326m outfitting berth, and a steel fabrication workshop with an annual capacity of 80,000 tonnes.

With enhanced infrastructure and production capabilities, the shipyard focuses on building offshore vessels, special purpose vessels, container ships, and oil tankers.

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.
