Last October, the company entered into an agreementto sell 98.5% equity interest of Rongsheng Heavy Industries, the entire interest in Rongsheng Engineering Machinery, Rongsheng Power Machinery and Rongsheng Marine Engineering Petroleum Services, to Unique Orient, an investment holding company owned by Wang Mingqing, a creditor of Huarong Energy, for a nominal price of HK$1.
Once the largest private shipyard in China, Rongsheng ceased shipbuilding operations in 2014 after it was hit by a major financial crisis and the shipyard rebranded into Huarong Energy in 2015.
Huarong Energy is of the view that the shipbuilding and engineering business is unlikely to see a turnaround in the foreseeable future and it is in the best interests of the company to dispose of the business and focus its resources on energy.

The Hong Kong-listed shipbuilder said in a statement it on Friday submitted an application to the nation’s securities regulator for approval of its plan to withdraw a bid to buy Anhui Quanchai Group Corp., a diesel engine maker, from the local government of Anhui Province’s Quanjiao County. Anhui Quanchai Group’s unit Anhui Quanchai Engine Co. is listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
The company said the decision to withdraw its bid is due to worsening global economic conditions as a result of the eurozone debt woes and other unforeseeable developments.
The planned withdrawal comes as the Shanghai-based shipbuilder in July warned investors that its first-half net profit, scheduled for Tuesday, is expected to fall “significantly” from a year earlier because of a decline in orders and prices of ships.
In the same month, the company’s non-executive chairman and co-founder Zhang Zhirong was accused by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for insider trading ahead of a public disclosure that Chinese state-owned oil company Cnooc Ltd. plans to acquire U.S.-listed Canadian energy producer Nexen Inc. for $15.1 billion. China Rongsheng subsequently issued a statement on July 30 to state that the U.S. regulator’s investigation against Mr. Zhang has no impact on its operations.
HONG KONG, June 28, 2011 - (ACN Newswire) -China Rongsheng Heavy Industries Group Holdings Limited ("China Rongsheng Heavy Industries" or the "Group"; SEHK: 1101), announced that Rongsheng Machinery Limitied ("Rongsheng Machinery")(previously Anhui Rongan Heavy Industries Machinery Company Limited), its new plant in Hefei, has commenced production today and the Group"s first-ever excavator has also been produced on the same day.
Officiating at the plant"s opening ceremony were leaders of the Hefei Municipal Government as well as top management of the Group including Mr. Deng Hui, Executive Director of China Rongsheng Heavy Industries and Mr. Yu Zheng, Chairman and President of Rongsheng Machinery Limited. Suppliers and agents of Rongsheng Machinery also attended the ceremony that day. Rongsheng Machinery also formally signed contracts with suppliers and agents at that time and completed the sale of its first dynamic compactor.
Mr. Chen Qiang, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director of Rongsheng, said, "With the new Hefei plant, the Group is boosting its engineering machinery business, further implementing diversification of its four major business segments while enlarging its share of RMB-denominated business. Through its diversification strategy, China Rongsheng Heavy Industries has kept in step with the industrial planning policy of Anhui Province to develop Hefei into a "City of Engineering Machinery". Also, guided by its own overall strategy of "co-developing the marine and offshore businesses", the Group has entered into the engineering machinery market by acquiring a majority equity interest in Hefei Zhenyu Enginnering Machinery Company Limited ("Zhenyu Engineering Machinery") in March 2010. The Group has also established and registered Rongsheng Machinery in the same month. It has actively expanded its production base with an aim to increase production capacity."
Rongsheng Machinery"s new plant is located in Hefei Economic and Technology Development Zone. The excavator project covers an area of approximately 850 acres. The construction began in November 2010 with production commencing on 28 June 2011. The project was completed in just over than seven months, much shorter than the industry average of 18 months for constructing a general assembly workshop. It indeed has set a standard for engineering construction across the industry.
The Group believes that urbanisation and infrastructure investment in railways, highways and utilities in China will continue. Consequently, this will create enormous demand for the engineering machinery segment, especially excavators, and thus a rapid growing phase for the industry together with opportunities for emerging producers are expected.
Rongsheng Machinery"s small excavator production line has commenced operation on 18 May this year, and its engineering machinery business is entering a stage of comprehensive development. The new production facility will have a production capacity of 30,000 hydraulic excavators. Every stage of the excavator production base project, from proposal, and submission for approval to preparation for construction, has enjoyed the close attention and strong support from all levels of leaders in the province and the city as well as the economic development zone. Anhui Provincial Government has designated the project as a major construction project in its "861 Action Plan". The Hefei Municipal Government has also included it as a major implementation project under the Twelfth Five-Year Plan.
Rongsheng Machinery currently produces 16 varieties of hydraulic excavators and two varieties of hydraulic crawler cranes. While constructing a new production base, Rongsheng Machinery has also shifted from direct sales outside province to distribution, increasing the number of its distributors to 10. Rongsheng Machinery has also enhanced its cooperation with financial institutions. In addition, the acquisition of Quanchai Group in April this year has enabled it to secure a stable supply of engines for the engineering machinery segment.
Development of the engineering machinery business will also facilitate China Rongsheng Heavy Industries to increase its RMB-denominated business as an effective means to combat against foreign exchange risk. Mr. Chen Qiang said, "Given the continued appreciation of the RMB compared to the US dollar, the Group will actively expand the shipbuilding and engineering machinery businesses in the PRC. The Group intends to establish a RMB settlement business, with the comprehensive development of the engineering machinery business, the Group is expected to have a more diversified income stream and achieve a more balanced mix of RMB- and US dollar-denominated income."
Since the acquisition of Zhenyu Engineering Machinery in March 2010, the engineering machinery business has contributed a total revenue of RMB327.3 million to the Group, mainly derived from the sale of excavators and crawler cranes.

RUGAO, China/SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Deserted flats and boarded-up shops in the Yangtze river town of Changqingcun serve as a blunt reminder of the area"s reliance on China Rongsheng Heavy Industries Group, the country"s biggest private shipbuilder.A view of the Rongsheng Heavy Industries shipyard is seen in Nantong, Jiangsu province December 4, 2013.

The shipbuilder this week predicted a substantial annual loss, just months after appealing to the government for financial help as it reeled from industry overcapacity and shrinking orders. Rongsheng lost an annual record 572.6 million yuan ($92 million) last year, and lost 1.3 billion yuan in the first half of this year.
While Beijing seems intent to promote a shift away from an investment-heavy model, with companies reliant on government cash injections, some analysts say Rongsheng is too big for China to let fail.
As ship orders and funding have dried up, the firm has delayed deliveries and now faces legal disputes, shipping and legal sources said. The company - whose market value has slumped more than 90 percent to around $1 billion since its Hong Kong listing in late 2010 - is in talks with bankers to restructure its debt.
Local media reported in July that Rongsheng had laid off as many as 8,000 workers as demand slowed. Three years ago, the company had about 20,000 staff and contract employees. This week, the shipbuilder said an unspecified number of workers had been made redundant this year.
“In this area we’re only really selling to workers from the shipyard. If they’re not here who do we sell to?” said one of the few remaining shopkeepers, surnamed Sui, playing a videogame at his work-wear store. “I know people with salaries held back and they can’t pay for things. I can’t continue if things stay the same.”
“Without new orders it’s hard to see how operations can continue,” said one worker wearing oil-spattered overalls and a Rongsheng hardhat, adding he was still waiting to be paid for September. He didn’t want to give his name as he feared he could lose his job.
“Morale in the office is quite low, since we don’t know what is the plan,” said a Rongsheng executive, who declined to be named as he is not authorized to speak to the media. “We have been getting orders but can’t seem to get construction loans from banks to build these projects.”
While Rongsheng has won just two orders this year, state-backed rival Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuildinghas secured 50, according to shipbroker data. Singapore-listed Yangzijiang Shipbuildinghas won more than $1 billion in new orders and is moving into offshore jack-up rig construction, noted Jon Windham, head industrials analyst at Barclays in Hong Kong.
Frontline, a shipping company controlled by Norwegian business tycoon John Fredriksen, ordered two oil tankers from Rongsheng in 2010 for delivery earlier this year. It now expects to receive both of them in 2014, Frontline CEO Jens Martin Jensen told Reuters.
Greek shipowner DryShips Inchas also questioned whether other large tankers on order will be delivered. DryShips said Rongsheng is building 43 percent of the Suezmax vessels - tankers up to 200,000 deadweight tons - in the current global order book. That"s equivalent to 23 ships, according to Rongsheng data.
Speaking at a quarterly results briefing last month, DryShips Chief Financial Officer Ziad Nakhleh said Rongsheng was “a yard that, as we stated before, is facing difficulties and, as such, we believe there is a high probability they will not be delivered.” DryShips has four dry cargo vessels on order at the Chinese firm.
Rongsheng declined to comment on the Dryships order, citing client confidentiality. “For other orders on hand, our delivery plan is still ongoing,” a spokesman said.
At least two law firms in Shanghai and Singapore are acting for shipowners seeking compensation from Rongsheng for late or cancelled orders. “I’m now dealing with several cases against Rongsheng,” said Lawrence Chen, senior partner at law firm Wintell & Co in Shanghai.
Billionaire Zhang Zhirong, who founded Rongsheng in 2005 and is the shipyard"s biggest shareholder, last month announced plans to privatize Hong Kong-listed Glorious Property Holdingsin a HK$4.57 billion ($589.45 million) deal - a move analysts said could raise money to plug Rongsheng"s debts.
The shipbuilder’s net debt to equity, a measure of indebtedness, climbed to 134 percent in January-June from 119 percent in 2012 and 85 percent in 2011. Talks with its banking syndicate are ongoing, with no indication when a deal could be struck, a person at one of the banks told Reuters this week.
Meanwhile, Rongsheng’s shipyard woes have already pushed many people away from nearby centers, and others said they would have to go if things don’t pick up. Some said they hoped the local government might step in with financial support.
The Rugao government did not respond to requests for comment on whether it would lend financial or other support to Rongsheng. Annual reports show Rongsheng has received state subsidies in the past three years.
The exodus has left row upon row of deserted apartments, with just a few old garments strewn on the floor and empty name tags to show for what was a bustling community before China’s economic growth began to slow and credit tightened at a time when global shipping, too, turned down.
“The lottery has become increasingly popular,” said a girl working the till. “I’m not sure why really, but perhaps people are hoping they can win something here.”

Such loss may lead to adverse effects on the production and operation, financial position and repayment capacity of Jiangsu Rongsheng Heavy Industries. Jiangsu Rongsheng Heavy Industries has been proactively adopting measures to improve operational performance and financial position, and to mitigate liquidity pressure. These measures include but are not limited to: actively negotiating with principal banks in the PRC on the terms and conditions of the extension and renewal of borrowings; obtaining financial support from a shareholder of its holding company; negotiating for better payment terms and revising up prices of certain existing shipbuilding orders; redesigning operation flow and controlling costs for existing shipbuilding orders; maximizing sales efforts and obtaining the appropriate project-based financing; establishing strategic cooperation with key suppliers with a view to reduce the costs of supplies.
