The financial supporting guidance related to the shipbuilders on Beijing's approved white list will be released by China's State Council soon.

The financial guidance has been drafted by the People's Bank of China.

China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology unveiled the first batch of shipyards making it onto its white list last September, followed by the second batch in December bringing the total to just under 60 yards. The ministry is currently working on a white list for offshore platform builders.
