Chairman of the State Administration Council, Prime Minister Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, accompanied by his entourage, the chief minister of Yangon Region, the commander of Yangon Command and Yangon Mayor U Bo Htay, inspected the functioning of the Gyoungwaing Shipyard in Gyoungwaing Village of Kyimyindine Township, Yangon Region, yesterday afternoon.

An official reported to the Senior General on facts about the shipyard, its operations and the brief history of the shipyard. The Senior General gave necessary guidance.

After inspecting the shipyard, the Senior General instructed officials to expedite more efforts for the shipyard, repair the shipyard aligned with the current era, install necessary machinery and systematically keep the shipyard neat and tidy.

The Gyoungwaing Shipyard was built in the 1981-1982 financial year. Since 1986, the shipyard had operated itself as a dockyard. During the period from 1995 to 1999, the shipyard served docking of 49 vessels, and then its functions halted. As the Gyoungwaing Shipyard has aged significantly, and due to the lack of operational activities, the prolonged suspension of work could lead to increased deterioration and losses. Hence, the shipyard operates its services in accord with the guidance of the Senior General.
