JES International Holdings Limited (“JES” or the “Group”) is a major PRC shipbuilding group with facilities capable of producing different types of vessels below 500,000 deadweight tonnes ("DWT"), including non-standard vessels. The Group’s principal products include bulk carriers, oil tankers, containerships and ocean engineering vessels.

The Group’s shipyard is located at Shiwei Port, Jingjiang City, Jiangsu Province, PRC, featuring an approximately 1,800-meter-long coastline with access to deep water and stable currents. The facilities cover a gross land area of approximately 804,000 sqm and include an integrated block workshop, sixteen paint shops, one drydock, two slipways and four outfitting wharfs that cover every stage of the shipbuilding process.

Each slipway is equipped with gantry cranes and can accommodate vessels up to 100,000 DWT. The block workshop – comprising facilities such as steel prefabrication and cutting center, plane block assembly center and curved block assembly center – covers an area of approximately 150,000 sqm and is able to produce blocks of up to 300 tonnes each. The integrated block workshop has an annual steel fabrication capacity of approximately 300,000 tonnes and allows steel structure works to be done indoors, reducing inefficiencies caused by bad weather. The new 400-metre long by 140-metre wide drydock is equipped with one 1,200-tonne gantry crane, auxiliary facilities and other lifting equipment. With the addition of this drydock, JES is now able to concurrently construct three bulk carriers of up to 180,000 DWT each or two crude oil tankers of up to 300,000 DWT each or very large ocean-engineering vessels and offshore equipment. Both the block workshop and drydock are the Group’s newly completed facilities in 2010.

The Group’s customers include major ship-owners based in Europe, America and Asia (including the PRC).
