Visiting the Shipyard: SAC Chairman inspects operation process of Shipyard

Chairman of the State Administration Council Prime Minister Senior General Min Aung Hlaing on Friday visited Joung Wyne Shipyard in Joung Wyne Village of Kyimyindaing Township in Yangon to over the re-operation process. Officials reported on the salient points of the shipyard, operation process and brief history.

The Prime Minister gave guidance to upgrade the dockyard to meet modern standards, refill necessary machinery, maintain cleanliness, and improve overall management. The Joung Wyne Shipyard was first built between 1981 and 1982 and began operations as a dry dock in 1986. Between 1995 and 1999, it successfully handled 49 vessels.

However, operations were later suspended. As the shipyard has been inactive for a long time, there is a risk of further damage. Based on the Prime Minister’s instructions, efforts are now underway to resume and improve its operations.
