Yard Development

Kingship finished its current expansion phase in early 2009. Despite a slowing economy, the yard has expanded rather than downsizing thanks to the relative low cost operation in China. The yard extended its build halls by 10 meters to allow builds to 50 meters. It also added a new closed aluminium workshop and invited Mr Harry Koopmans, the Dutch Hull master to be the consultant. Harry has taught the ship building team a lot of special techniques and improved the hull and superstructure construction quality and efficiency. Installation of new high-tech machines upgraded various departments as part of the ongoing quality enhancement program. Kingship is the first and only Asian yard to develop and achieve such a high standard of metal cutting and fabrication.
