Fong Kuo Shipbuilding's establishment in 1965 by Shui-Lai Chen, was the starting point for our shipbuilding division and for the entire Taiwanese Shipbuilding Industry. With the intent of creating in Taiwan a successful deep sea fishing industry as Japan had at that time, Fong Kuo became the first private shipyard to build sea-going steel vessels. After Fong Kuo's successful first delivery of a 150T Tuna Purse Seiner to Fong Kuo Fishery in early 1966, over the next ten years the yard built most of the entire fleet of the early Taiwanese fishing industry. This incredible feat was a integral factor in the creation of a strong and thriving pelagic fishing industry in Taiwan. Starting in 1974 and over the next few years, Fong Kuo expanded its capabilities by successfuly designing and delivering tug boats, barges and fishing research vessels. Fong Kuo brought new innovation and technology to Taiwan again in 1982 by building the first Japanese style tuna purse seiner in Taiwan, which had a capacity of 800 T, for Fong Kuo Fishery. In 1984 the yard also successfully constructed the first Japanese style 1000G/T purse seiner. Increasing its diversity of newbuildings, Fong Kuo also began building squid vessels and long liners. In other areas, the yard has also delivered patrol boats and ferry boats. Fong Kuo merged with her sister shipyard, Ching Fu Shipbuilding at the beginning of 2002, creating the largest privately owned shipyard in Taiwan. In order to fully utilize the shipyard's capacity, Ching Fu in 1991 began to repair ships in addition to its regular new shipbuilding. In the beginning, the yard focused on repairing the bulk carriers under 6000tons which frequent Kaohsiung's port. However, by 1997, Ching Fu had amassed a great deal of experience and technical knowledge in new shipbuilding. Therefore, an extremely specialized Repair Department was established at the yard. This department designed and installed at Ching Fu specialized repair tools. With these tools, Ching Fu is able to complete comprehensive repair projects very efficiently and at reduced costs. All repair work is undertaken by Ching Fu's accomplished team of capable engineers, long term professional qualified sub-contractors and international standard design department. Increasing its diversity of newbuildings, Fong Kuo also began building squid vessels and long liners. Ching Fu Shipbuilding Co. Ltd.
