Also, the Conversion is by a Dutch Team according to Dockwise and they were approached by many ship yard and the company ultimately chosen COSCO China, but the design and execution of this conversion project is done by a DUTCH team of Engineer, basically, What Chinese did in this sense is that they offer a place for them to carry out the work...It hardly even qualify to be "Rebuild by the Chinese"

On another note, rebuild is different than what COSCO Shipyard do to MV Treasure.

Take CV-16 Liaoning for example, Dalian Shipyard take 3 years to rebuild everything from ground up and ended up rebuilding or finish building Varyag and turn it into Liaoning, even so, people sometime even Chinese themselves would not claim Liaoning is a Chinese Ship.

And the conversion of MV Treasure take 7 months in 2008 (even earlier than China rebuilding Liaoning) where the only work they do is that they cut off the mid section and join them back in adding a ballast, and that's what they did, can you honestly claim Treasure is then "REBUILT" by the Chinese?

As the dockwise says converted by China, I adjusted the thread title.

Respectfully, I would hold on my to analysis.

Technically speaking, it is re-made in China.

Let's say I took my Changan CS95 full size SUV and made it into something entirely different (like a wheel loader) then, it is made by me while, perhaps, maintaining some of the basic structures.

This vessel has been so dramatically changed from its initial purpose, hence, we have the liberty to call it a re-made in China vessel.

In this regard, the incapacitated US vessel has been shipped by a China re-made semi-submersible.

"Converted" does justice to the action, as well, because conversion also suggest re-making by dramatically changing the structure of a vehicle, in this case. So, I am personally fine with "re-made" or "converted" conclusions. Either of them gives a similar impression.

I agree, a better word would be converted, but well Jhungrary can't take it. You know what Jhungary, your floating docks and your cranes are made by China too.
