Following its recent rebranding, DSIC ChangXing Shipyard has announced another success. On April 17, the shipbuilder successfully completed all repair work on the “Dongxing Haitai” and the “Jinhai Long No. 5” on the same day, delivering both vessels ahead of schedule.
The repair work on the Dongxing Haitai included major tasks such as repairing the cargo hold bulkhead structures, coating the outer hull, and overhauling the main engine. Faced with a tight schedule, DSIC ChangXing Shipyard implemented a plan to dry-dock four vessels simultaneously, resulting in the vessel being delivered three days ahead of schedule and ready to set sail immediately upon leaving the dry dock.
Despite a tight schedule, the “Jin Hailong No. 5” was dry-docked immediately upon arrival at the yard, with the main focus of the project being the coating of the hull’s outer plating and deck. Through efficient coordination and collaborative efforts across all disciplines, DSIC ChangXing Shipyard ensured seamless transitions between work phases, ultimately enabling the vessel to be launched and delivered one day ahead of schedule.
To date, DSIC ChangXing Shipyard has completed and delivered a total of 35 vessels through its ship repair business.
It is worth noting that just a few days ago, DSIC ChangXing Shipyard announced that it had officially changed its name from Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Changxingdao Shipyard Co., Ltd. to DSIC ChangXing Shipyard Co., Ltd. This rebranding marks a new chapter for this core enterprise—wholly owned by Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Corporation (DSIC), a subsidiary of China State Shipbuilding Corporation—as its new journey for its development during the 15th Five-Year Plan period.
