The Shenzhen-based company said the acquisition could help Yantai Raffles Shipyard Limited, a Singapore-based marine company it acquired in November 2009, to improve its design capability and win more orders.
Shares in CIMC gained quickly after the opening on Tuesday. It topped 14.1 yuan ($2.1), more than 5 percent up from the previous close, in less than half an hour, before closing at 14.03 yuan at midday.
