We stand as ONE at this difficult time • COVID-19

2020-03-27

At our production facility in Zhuhai, China, health and safety is currently our number one priority. While hand washing is critical, we have modified our shipyard practices to make life safer for our team. Social distancing is promoted to protect our people, we provide new surgical masks to our workers each day, and we measure the temperature of everyone entering our yard.

We have taken extra steps to ensure a safe working environment, including disinfecting our workshops and offices daily. We are closely following the suggestions of our government and more, to provide a safe platform for our teams during this difficult time.

We have been working closely with our clients and suppliers, taken various measures to catch up with our build schedules, and minimize delays caused by this incident.

As always, WE stand as ONE to make it work! Let’s continue to work together during this difficult period.

About

CHEOY LEE

Cheoy Lee's main production facility is strategically located on the Pearl River at Doumen, Zhuhai, in southern China. It can be reached in under 2-hours by road or high speed ferry from the Cheoy Lee head office in Hong Kong. The 12 hectare (28-acre) Hin Lee (Zhuhai) Shipyard facility includes a 1,000 ton railway lift, 150 ton Travelift, dedicated fabrication halls for steel, aluminium and fibreglass moulding, dust free painting halls, trade specific workshops and onsite dormitories to house up to 1,000 employees. The dormitories resemble a small community, with recreation facilities ranging from basketball to table tennis, and even tug of war being a popular after-hours activity for the Hin Lee workforce. The facility itself is bristling with advanced production machinery, from Prop Scan equipment, 5-axis CNC cutters, milling, rolling and bending machines, lathes up to 8 metres (26 feet) in length, NC water bath plasma cutters, and much more, capable of producing vessels up to 70 metres (230 feet) in length.
