Chinese-Built Dredgers Delivered to Myanmar for Services

Three dredgers, purchased by the Myanmar water transport authorities from a Chinese Yunnan company, were formally handed over Saturday to the Myanmar side for services.

The three dredgers, built by Tianjin Xinhe Shipyard, were exported by the Yunnan Machinery and Equipment Import and Export Corporation (YMEC) of China to the Directorate of Water Resources and Improvement of River System of Myanmar.

The delivery ceremony, held at Yangon's Nanthida Jetty, was attended by First Secretary of the Myanmar State Peace and Development Council Lieutenant-General Khin Nyunt, Myanmar Minister of Transport Major-General Hla Myint Swe and Chinese Ambassador to Myanmar Li Jinjun.

The three dredgers, which worth 8.9 million U.S. dollars, are the first batch of dredgers of its kind imported by Myanmar from China.

The commission of the three dredgers into services are expected to greatly speed up Myanmar's dredging work, thus promoting the development of the country's water transport.
