In July,20, the "Qiankun Friendship" vessel, built by Jiangsu Haizhongzhou Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. for a European shipowner, was successfully launched at the No. 2 berth. The vessel took only seven and a half months from the start of construction to its successful launch, nearly one month ahead of the contractual schedule, setting a new benchmark in the shipyard's construction cycle for vessels of the same type.
During the construction process, the project team employed a fully digitalized management system, significantly enhancing construction efficiency and quality control through modular pre-outfitting and optimized block assembly. Particularly in key processes such as ship painting and pipeline installation, the use of intelligent inspection equipment enabled comprehensive quality monitoring throughout, ensuring that the construction quality met international standards.

It is worth noting that during the construction period, the project team successfully overcame challenges posed by fluctuations in the international supply chain. Through precise material management and production scheduling, the team ensured the orderly progression of each project milestone. This successful practice has provided valuable experience for the shipyard in subsequently undertaking international high-end vessel orders.
Currently, Jiangsu Haizhongzhou Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. holds orders for various types of bulk carriers, oil tankers, and container ships, with production schedules extending until the end of 2027. The smooth launch of the "Qiankun Friendship" vessel further demonstrates the company's competitive strength in the international ship market, laying a solid foundation for continued global market expansion.
