Shipbuilding Summary

Taizhou Sanfu Ship Engineering Co., Ltd. is located along the golden waterway of the Yangtze River, with a strategic position near several major urban centres.

It borders the first-class open port of Taizhou to the north, Nantong to the east, and Yangzhou to the west. To the south, across the river, lie major cities such as Shanghai, Nanjing, Suzhou, and Wuxi.

Founded in 1985, the company operates three main production sites: Kou’an, Yong’an, and Taixing. Together, they span a total area of approximately 1.5 million square metres and offer over 2,000 metres of natural Yangtze River shoreline.

The shipyard is capable of building a diverse range of vessels, including bulk carriers, container vessels, and multi-purpose vessels (MPVs) under 100,000 DWT, oil tankers and chemical tankers under 100,000 DWT, tugboats and offshore engineering vessels, including pipe-laying barges under 10,000 horsepower, and various deck barges under 50,000 DWT.

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.
