Taiwan’s yacht manufacturing industry is rising, said Han Bi-xiang, founder and CEO of the Kaohsiung-based Jong Shyn Shipbuilding Corp., who has been a strong supporter over the years of government plans to build yachting marinas. An exclusive yacht built by Han’s company at a cost of NT$300 million (US$10 million) was the climax of the inauguration of a marina at the Wushi Fish Port in Yilan County, northeastern Taiwan June 23. The ship, made with top quality materials, is Han’s sample in his bid to attract global buyers. After visiting the 30-meter-long yacht in Yilan, Fisheries Agency Director-General James Sha praised the vessel as a work of excellent technique and attention to detail. He was particularly impressed by the marble floor, which he said is thinner than normal. Han said he had already sailed the yacht to Qingdao, Shanghai and Hainan in China, as well as Hong Kong and Singapore, to take part in yacht expositions to promote Taiwan’s shipbuilding technology. Having been in the business for several decades, Han told CNA that Taiwan’s yacht-building techniques have been lifted to the “exquisite” level, but prices remain “fair” compared with European brands.
