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.

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.

“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.

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.

HONG KONG, March 25 (Reuters) – China Rongsheng Heavy Industries Group Holdings Ltd won its first orders to build two jack-up rigs worth more than $360

(Bloomberg) — China Rongsheng Heavy Industries Group Holdings Ltd., the shipbuilder whose woes made it a symbol of the country’s credit binge, said it planned to sell assets to an unidentified Chinese acquirer.

The company intends to sell the core assets and liabilities of its onshore shipbuilding and offshore engineering businesses, according to a statement to the Hong Kong exchange Monday. Rongsheng’s shares, which were halted March 11, will resume trading on March 17.

Once China’s largest shipbuilder outside government control, Shanghai-based Rongsheng has been searching for funds after orders for new ships dried up and the company fell behind on principal and interest payments on 8.57 billion yuan ($1.4 billion) of bank loans. Rongsheng’s struggles illustrate the difficulties shipbuilders face in competing with state-owned yards that have government backing and easier access to funds.

Rongsheng and the proposed buyer have entered into an exclusivity period while assets and liabilities are valued, according to the statement. The agreement will expire on June 30, the company said.

Rongsheng said March 5 it wouldn’t proceed with a proposed warrant sale after Kingwin Victory Investment Ltd. owner Wang Ping — a potential investor who had pledged as much as HK$3.2 billion ($412 million) — was said to have been detained.

The company is trying to complete a restructuring by June and has proposed to change its name to China Huarong Energy Co. to more accurately reflect its expansion and new business scope.

Yangzijiang Shipbuilding Holdings Ltd. said previously it had been approached by China’s government about buying a stake in Rongsheng, and that no decision had been made. Yangzijiang Chief Financial Officer Liu Hua said today that the company isn’t involved in the agreement announced by Rongsheng, according to the company’s external representative.

Rongsheng has sought help from the government to benefit from a rebound in China’s shipbuilding industry — the world’s second biggest — after cutting its workforce and running up debts amid a global downturn in orders.

As orders for new ships began to dry up, China in 2013 issued a three-year plan urging financial institutions to support the shipbuilding industry. Ship owners placing orders for China-made vessels, engines and some parts should get better funding, the State Council said. A third of the more than 1,600 shipyards in China could shut down in the next five years, an industry association predicted earlier.

In September, the government responded by listing Rongsheng’s Jiangsu shipyard unit among 51 shipbuilding facilities in China deemed worthy of policy support as the industry grapples with overcapacity.

Some of Rongsheng’s subsidiaries, including Hefei Rong An Power Machinery Co. and Rongsheng Machinery Co., signed agreements with domestic lenders, led by Shanghai Pudong Development Bank, to extend debt repayments to the end of 2015, the company said in October.

China Rongsheng Heavy Industries Group Holdings Limited is an investment holding company. The Company has four segments: shipbuilding, offshore engineering, marine engine building and engineering machinery. The Company commenced the construction of its shipyard in Nantong, Jiangsu Province. As of December 31, 2009, the Company鈥檚 shipyard covers approximately four million square meters and occupies 3,058 meters of Yangtze River shoreline. The Company operates its marine engine building business through Rong An Power Machinery. In October 2009, Rong An Power Machinery delivered its marine engine product, a Wartsila 6RT-flex68D low-speed marine diesel engine. The Company through Zhenyu Machinery offers 16 varieties of hydraulic excavators and two varieties of hydraulic crawler cranes. Its products include bulk carriers, crude oil tankers, containerships, offshore engineering products, low-speed marine diesel engines and small to mid-size excavators and cranes for construction and mining.

Ch Rongsheng isa leadinglarge-scaleheavy industry enterprisegroup.It possesses of two manufacturing bases of shipbuilding and offshore engineering in Nantong of Jiangsu Province and diesel engine in Hefei of Anhui Province both approved by NDRC, coveringwide services ranging from shipbuilding, offshoreengineering,power engineering, engineering machineryandetc. Until Dec.With thevision of “cultivate world first-class employees and create world first-class enterprise”,the spirit of “integrity-based, the pursuit of excellence”, and the responsibility ofrevitalizingnational industry, it runs fast toward the great goal of world first-class diversified heavy industry group.

China Rongsheng Heavy Industries Group Holdings Limited (“China Rongsheng Heavy Industries” or the “Group”; stock code: 01101.HK), a large heavy industries group in China, announced that it has delivered its first 380,000 DWT Very Large Ore Carrier (VLOC) to Vale S.A. (“Vale”). The 380,000 DWT VLOC is a high-tech vessel self-developed by the Group. It is not only the world’s largest dry bulk carrier with the largest cargo capacity, but also incorporates the Group’s most advanced shipbuilding technology in very large bulk carrier. Successful delivery of the new vessel marked an innovative breakthrough for the shipbuilding industry in China.

The 380,000 DWT VLOC was christened “VALE CHINA” during July this year. To date, it is the largest bulk carrier built by Chinese shipbuilding industry in terms of DWT as well as the world’s largest bulk carrier with a capacity up to 400,000 DWT. The vessel measures 360 metres in length, 65 metres in breadth and 30.4 metres in depth.

Mr. Zhang Zhi Rong, Chairman of the Board and Non-executive Director of China Rongsheng Heavy Industries, said, “The successful delivery of the VLOC not only has extraordinary significance for the development of the shipbuilding industry in China, it also marks an important breakthrough of China Rongsheng Heavy Industries in moving towards its goal of developing into one of the world’s top diversified heavy industries group. The Group wishes to pave the way forward for private enterprises within China’s heavy industry to wield greater influence in the global market.”

Mr. Chen Qiang, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director of China Rongsheng Heavy Industries, said, “‘VALE CHINA’ represents the most advanced bulk carrier in the world. The technologies needed for building the vessel are far more challenging than those for building the typical 200,000 DWT VLOCs. Far more advanced technologies are required to meet more demanding specifications on its structure, pressure endurance and fluid dynamic design. The delivery of the new vessel demonstrates the Group’s leadership in the global VLOC shipbuilding market.

The sea trial voyage of ‘VALE CHINA’ has been successful, with an outstanding performance in cargo loading capability and speed. While the second and third 380,000 DWT VLOCs have also been launched, the Group expects smoother delivery of other VLOCs. We are well prepared for the coming peak of delivery period.”

Mr. Marcus Moura, General Manager of Shipbuilding and Conversions of Vale China, said, “‘VALE CHINA’ is professionally designed and built by China Rongsheng Heavy Industries, and is tailored to address VALE’s trade pattern and terminals requirements in Brazil. This fantastic vessel certainly will enhance our competitiveness in the iron ore market, also help our company to cope with our ambitious iron ore export plan to Asia. We would like to thank China Rongsheng Heavy Industries for its hard and dedicated work and for keeping the commitment to deliver this vessel to our fleet within the required quality standards.”

The main engine of “VALE CHINA”, the 7RT-flex 82T, is self-built by China Rongsheng Heavy Industries and produced by Hefei Rongan Power Machinery Co. Ltd., the Group’s marine engine building division. The engine has not only gained a high degree of recognition from shipowners, but is also the first Warsila low-speed diesel engine with maximum power manufactured by a Chinese enterprise independently.

The new engine boasts the advantages of huge power output, low oil consumption, compact structure, and reduced emission of SOx and NOx. All these features demonstrate the Group’s all-round shipbuilding ability while addressing the operational and environmental protection concerns of shipowners. In August 2008, the Group signed shipbuilding contracts for twelve 380,000 DWT VLOCs with Vale, having a total contract value as high as US$1.6 billion. The work under the contracts attracted wide attention at the time as it set three world records in the contract value of a single shipbuilding order, carrying deadweight tonnage of single bulk carriers and total deadweight tonnage of orders. “VALE CHINA” delivered today is the first vessel for the VLOC series. In 2009, Vale also announced that it would rent four VLOCs of the same type from Oman Shipping Company which were also to be built by China Rongsheng Heavy Industries.

Late Tuesday, a company official told The Wall Street Journal about 8,000 employees had been laid off in recent months, and some workers had been protesting outside the company"s production base in east China"s Nantong city. Rongsheng employed about 20,000 people at the beginning of the year.

Lei Dong, secretary to Rongsheng"s president, had said that the layoffs weren"t a sign of financial trouble and were the result of a restructuring that aims to move its focus away from bulk carriers toward offshore vessels.

China Rongsheng Heavy Industries Group Holdings Ltd rose in Hong Kong trading after saying it applied to withdraw a plan to buy a diesel engine maker for 2.15 billion yuan ($338 million) because of the European debt crisis.

The shares gained as much as 6.4 percent, headed for the biggest gain since Aug 7, after China"s biggest privately owned shipmaker made the statement on Friday.

"If the withdrawal is successful, the investors will be happy and the cash pressure on Rongsheng will be relieved as there will be savings for Rongsheng," said UOB-Kay Hian Holdings Ltd analyst Lawrence Li.

China Rongsheng, which hasn"t announced new shipbuilding contracts this year and is releasing interim results on Tuesday, said it expects a significant drop in its first-half profit. The stock advance on Monday pared Rongsheng"s decline this year to 48 percent and the index gained 8.4 percent in the same period.

The China Rongsheng Heavy Industries (RSHI) Group Holdings is a leading large-scale heavy industry conglomerate with operations covering shipbuilding, marine engineering, power engineering, construction machinery and other related fields. The China RSHI Group was successfully listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong on 19th November 2010.

Liang studied for a Master’s in Corporate Management at Tongji University and undertook a period of work experience at Berlin Technical University. He is Deputy Treasurer at China Rongsheng Heavy Industries Group Holdings.

Rongsheng has a vertically centralised treasury structure. We have two production bases located respectively in Rugao, Nantong and Hefei, Anhui Province. The group headquarters are in Hong Kong and Shanghai, with treasury department composed of seven employees, responsible for FX and interest rate risk management, financing, cash management and bank relationship management.

Our main cash management banks include Bank of China, the Export-Import Bank of China and China Development Bank, which are also our biggest credit banks.

The ship-building industry differs significantly from ordinary manufacturing industries in that even a single product can have great value and the building cycle is very long. Therefore, during the building process the shipyard will authorise a bank to issue a refund guarantee to the ship-owner based on building milestones. Currently, the guarantee issuing banks that are most acceptable to overseas ship-owners are Bank of China, the Export-Import Bank of China and China Development Bank.

Meanwhile we also leverage the combined advantages of different banks, such as the trade financing of Bank of China, the project loans of China Construction Bank, and the project mortgage of China Everbright Bank.

Due to the nature of our industry, we are not able to physically pool our cash yet, because most of our collections have to be swept to the specified account of ship-building business. However, we do use centralised management to get a real-time understanding of group cash position and future cash flow.
