Shipyard construction to begin in Tainan
(Taipei Times)
Today, the regional resource consent for the construction of a large shipyard in Tainan was granted, to the sound of cheering crowds. The new shipyard will employ 20,000 and produce dozens of ships a year.
The construction of the Tainan shipyard marks Taiwan's foray into the international maritime export market. CK-ROC, Taiwan's largest defence company, has purchased a 25% stake in the Tainan shipyards for $8.9m.
The shipyard is scheduled to be completed in 18 months.
OOC: I'm planning to start a naval storefront soon.
