My thoughts27 Sep 2017 11:11
Disappointed we didn't get much 'meat-on-the-bones' in the Interims, for example, MGR's latest benefits owing to the tie-in with the copper mine stake & rising copper, iron ore prices; year-on-year. And no mention of whether we've received further work from YZJ or mention of the The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Yangzijiang Shipbuilding (Holdings) Ltd. (“YZJ” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its 79.6%-owned subsidiary, Jiangsu Yangzijiang Offshore
Engineering Co., Ltd. (“JYOECO”) has entered into an agreement with strategic partners to establish a joint venture company in Jiangsu Taicang to be mainly involved in steel structure fabrication of steel pipe pile for international seas, port, bridge and offshore projects. However The proposed name of the joint venture company is “Jiangsu Yangzi Chengkang Marine Equipment Co. Limited.” (“JYCMECO”) although it has been said any revenues will not until next financial year I understand.
However, this is still a strong hold for me, our MC is piddly at £3.5mill compared to our growing/ expansion potential of MGR in China, S.E Asia, our copper mine stake, our assets, multi-mill rig, ship yard value, our high-spec rig to generate substantial cash to our offshore yard/our 19% holding etc etc!
Think of this, I'd have though South Korean rig,shipyards(China's main competitors) are not in favour with the escalating tension with North Korea on their doorstep, presently. Another all important multi-mill £ order is just a matter of time, especially with oil prices, vessel markets recovering, although slowly.
