As a key enterprise in Guannan Port Industrial Park, Jiangsu Haizhongzhou Shipping Industry Co., Ltd. actively integrates itself into the collaborative development pattern of the industrial chain, playing a leading role in the park's strategy of "strengthening, supplementing, and extending the chain."
The Port Industrial Park serves as an important carrier for Guannan County's development of the marine economy. In recent years, the park has made every effort to develop the marine engineering equipment industry, gradually forming core industrial sectors such as steel smelting, green building materials, and shipbuilding and repair. The agglomeration effect of the port-oriented industrial system, characterized by export-orientation and large-scale operations, has begun to take shape.
At the upstream of the industrial chain, the park has guided steel enterprises such as Yaxin Steel and Xingxin Steel to produce steel plates for shipbuilding, providing a stable supply of raw materials for our company and other shipbuilding enterprises. "This has significantly reduced our raw material procurement and transportation costs, enhancing our market competitiveness," said Lu Feng, Commercial Director of our company. The park is also accelerating the construction of a shipbuilding supporting industrial park, introducing manufacturers of marine motors and electronic components to further improve the shipbuilding industry system.
At the midstream of the industrial chain, our company, together with three other shipbuilding enterprises, has fully implemented technological transformation and introduced new production processes. What used to be a "small shipyard" has now become a 100,000-ton-class shipbuilding base. Ship products have also shifted from traditional low-value-added deck barges to large bulk carriers, oil tankers, LNG hybrid-powered vessels, and other ship types.
The chain-driven development has brought about a clustering effect. This year, the park's shipbuilding industry has witnessed a steady stream of good news.
"As the only special shipbuilding industrial park in northern Jiangsu, the park will continue to cultivate and expand the marine economy, strengthen and expand the port-oriented industry, enhance industrial innovation capabilities, and focus on upgrading the park's capacity. We will go all out to build a coastal industrial cluster and take multiple measures to unleash the surging momentum of the 'blue engine,'" said Zhang Hao, Director of the Administration Committee of Guannan Port Industrial Park. Our company will continue to play its role as a leading enterprise, joining hands with the park to jointly write a new chapter of striving for strength through the sea.
