"That's true, you have to compare prices from different vendors."
Feng Ye nodded, then added, "However, I must remind you of something."
It's hard to say about the delivery time; shipyards always give a longer timeframe.
Just like the boat we ordered in the county, it was initially said that it wouldn't be delivered until early next year.
I casually asked about it a few days ago, and they said it would be delivered before the new year, almost half a year ahead of schedule.
"That's true."
The shipbuilding cycle is affected by too many factors.
Delayed delivery of materials and equipment, insufficient workers, or the arrival of other urgent orders can all affect the delivery schedule.
As they talked, they boarded a bus and headed to a privately owned shipyard to the north.
They went in as if they knew the way, found the person in charge, and made the same request to order two 36-meter boats.
The person in charge was overjoyed to hear their request and quickly led them into the reception room, served them tea, and warmly welcomed them.
After a conversation, Feng Ye and his team gained a preliminary understanding of the quotes and services offered by private shipyards.
The price quoted for the fresh seafood collection boat was 380,000 yuan, which was 20,000 yuan cheaper than the state-owned shipyard, but still 20,000 yuan more expensive than the county shipyard.
The fishing boat was priced at 300,000, which was a bit higher than when I inquired last year, but 20,000 cheaper than the state-owned shipyard.
The delivery times are similar, and both guarantee delivery by the end of next year.
After leaving, they immediately sailed to a shipyard in the next county to take a look.
Looking at several companies will give you a better understanding and make a final decision.
It turned out to be a wasted trip; the price and delivery time were almost the same as those of the shipyard in their county, so there was no obvious advantage.
In general, factories in the city are larger and have more reliable delivery times, but they are also more expensive.
While the shipyards in the lower counties are smaller, they are cheaper.
Ultimately, they need to discuss the matter carefully after they return home before making a decision.
