Wison New Energies and the Qidong municipal government of China’s Jiangsu province have signed an investment agreement to construct the company’s new yard for offshore facilities.
The yard, which will be built in the Qidong Lusi Port Economic Development Zone, is some 98 km from the company’s Shanghai headquarters and only 85 km away from Nantong yard which constructs floating facilities.
The Qidong Yard covers around 1.2m sq m, and Phase 1 contains a shoreline length of 1,370m with an excavated deep-water harbour basin. According to the development plan, there will be a 520m x 110m offshore dock, along with a 2,000-tonne gantry crane.
This yard will also have a module assembly area of 150,000 square meters equipped with a 1,200-tonne gantry crane, a berth for lifting and shipping modules up to 5,000 tonnes, and a ro-ro shipping terminal for modules up to 10,000 tonnes.
The Wison Qidong yard will be able to process 250,000 tons of steel annually by the time this phase is built and put into operation in the fourth quarter of 2025.
The launch of the Qidong Yard is a practical action taken by Wison in response to the national strategy of becoming a strong maritime power and driving the high-quality development of the marine engineering equipment manufacturing industry. |
