On November 16, 2010, HHIC-Phil(Hanjin Heavy Industries & Construction – Philippines)announced that it signed a contract to construct eight 3,800 TEU container ships with Delphis in Belgium.

The Delphis’ container ships (3,800 TEU, 21 knots of speed) will be built at HHIC-Phil’s Subic Shipyard and delivered in order since the first half of 2013.

The professional Belgian shipbuilding company has already ordered three 180,000 DWT bulk carriers. This time, it ordered eight container ships.

Since the beginning of this year, HHIC-Phil started to build various types of ships such as bulk carriers, tankers and container ships to meet diverse client needs. Based on high cost competitiveness and superior production capacity and technology, HHIC-Phil’s Subic Shipyard has earned trust and reputation from ship owners. As a result, it has been able to eliminate the uncertainty as a new shipbuilder.

An official from HHIC said, “In just two years after the start of dock operations, we now have stable production and superior quality.” He continued, “With consecutive successful bids for very large carriers and ship type diversification, our technology has been proven by the clients from around the world. Therefore, we believe that we could keep winning bids.”

HHIC-Phil’s Subic Shipyard has 2.5 million ㎡ dockyard which was built in the Philippines in 2008 with a goal of establishing the world’s most efficient production system.

Meanwhile, HHIC-Phil's Subic Shipyard has been fully equipped with state-of-the-art facilities including 370m-long dock V, the world’s largest dock VI (550m in length, 135m in width), 4km-long quaying facility, four ultra-large cranes and over 1,000m-long automated assembly lines. The company is already fully scheduled for the next 3 years.
