China State Shipbuilding Corp (CSSC) has gradually resumed business operations while supporting the construction of two new hospitals in Wuhan, the epicentre of a deadly coronavirus outbreak, according to the Chinese state conglomerate.

In a series of statements published on its website this week, the world’s largest shipbuilder said group firms are starting to bring production back online to ensure the on-time deliveries of shipbuilding and ship-repairing orders.
