History

Jong Shyn Shipbuilding Company was founded in 1973.[3] By 2009 they had built more than 400 ships.[4] In 2009 JSSC received orders for more than twenty ships between 500-tons and 2,000-tons from the Coast Guard Administration (Taiwan) (CGA).[5] In 2015 JSSC launched two 3,000-ton patrol ships for the CGA, the Yilan (CG 128) and Kaohsiung (CG 129).[6] JSSC is participating in the development of a Taiwanese domestic AUV.[7]

They have delivered Taiwan's first locally designed and built drilling vessel. The Polaris Australis was delivered to Dragon Prince Hydro-Survey Enterprise Co and Dragon Prince in 2017. She has been chartered by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners to install underwater power cables for their offshore wind farms.[8]

In 2019 Jong Shyn began the construction on the first of twelve 600-ton catamaran patrol vessels ordered by the Coast Guard Administration. Known as the Anping-class offshore patrol vessel the patrol vessels are based on the 567-ton Tuo Chiang-class corvette.[9] The contract to build the 12 600-ton patrol vessels and 52 35-ton patrol vessels for the CGA was worth NTD 17b (USD ~550m).[10] The first 600-ton patrol vessel and first two 35-ton patrol vessels were launched in December 2019.[11]
