Fines for Taiwan shipbuilder mount over delayed submarine delivery
Posted on 2025-12-11 06:54:13
Shipbuilder CSBC Corp. has been accruing fines since last month after missing
the contractual delivery deadline for Taiwan's first domestically built
defense submarine.

Navy Chief of Staff Chiu Chun-rong said the total amoun will ultimately
depend on the number of days that pass before C-S-B-C hands the submarine
over to the Navy.

Defense Minister Wellington Koo has indicated that C-S-B-C will be fined
about 190,000 N-T per day until the Narwhal is delivered.

Those fines will be deducted from the balance of payments for the vessel.

The Navy chief of staff said testing is currently at least two months behind
schedule and the vessel is now undergoing fine-tuning and preparations for
submergence trials.

However, he stressed that those submergence trials will only be scheduled
once safety requirements are confirmed through review.
