After several months of preparations, by the beginning of December, all preparations were made, and we were ready to officially start construction.
That's when the good news came, and it was a historic moment.
Zhonghai City's bid to host the 2010 World Expo has been successful!
When the news came out, the entire Zhonghai City was boiling, and the whole of China was also boiling.
In fact, not only Zhonghai City, but even the whole of China is proud of it, and the successful bid for the World Expo is almost as important as the successful bid for the Olympic Games.
The World Expo is a global event, because it is not limited by the national system, let alone the region, and there is no restriction on ethnic, religious, cultural and economic level and other factors, which creates an opportunity for the host country to promote itself and make friends without leaving home.
As far as China is concerned, its successful bid to host the World Expo can fully demonstrate China's comprehensive national strength.
In particular, the World Expo held in Zhonghai, the largest city in the East, has attracted the attention of the world.
The World Expo is known as the economic, technological and cultural "Olympic Games", and many countries in history have promoted their own economic, technological and cultural development through the holding of the World Expo.
So in a sense, the Expo is more significant than the Olympics.
Of course, this news is of great significance to China Shipbuilding Industry Group and Jiangnan Changxing Shipbuilding Group Co., Ltd.
Because of the successful bid for the World Expo, this means that the current old factory of Jiangnan Changxing Shipbuilding Group will face demolition, that is to say, Jiangnan Changxing Shipbuilding Group will move to Changxing Island as a whole.
Although this has been prepared before, but it is not certain, because whether to relocate as a whole, it depends on whether the bid for the World Expo is successful, and now the news has been confirmed, the leadership of Jiangnan Changxing Shipbuilding Group, and even the leadership of China Shipbuilding Industry Group, are greatly relieved.
Why?
Because of the demolition of Jiangnan Changxing Shipyard, a large amount of compensation will be obtained, which is definitely good news for China Shipbuilding Industry Group and Jiangnan Changxing Shipbuilding Group, which are already insufficient.
And the compensation will not be low, that is to say, this time in Changxing Island planned dozens of square kilometers of shipbuilding base, China Shipbuilding Industry Group not only does not have to pay for the land, but also makes a small profit.
On December 20, the China Shipbuilding Building located in Zhoujiazui Road, Yangpu District, Zhonghai City was very lively, and today is the day when the China Shipbuilding Industry Group held a press conference on the Changxing Shipbuilding Base of the Shipbuilding Captain here, at the press conference, the China Shipbuilding Industry Group will inform the media of the situation of the Changxing Shipbuilding Base.
Reporters from all walks of life also came after hearing the news, whether it was Xinhua News Agency, People's Daily, or other highly professional periodicals and magazines, they all attached great importance to this press conference and sent elite soldiers and strong generals, as well as many emerging online media, such as reporters from Sina.com.
In addition to reporters from all walks of life, the guests were also heavyweights, including leading experts from the national defense industry department, the Navy Equipment Department and other units, as well as leaders at all levels in Zhonghai City.
Of course, Shen Huan was also fortunate to participate in this press conference, watching the arrival of heavyweight guests and many media reporters, Shen Huan was also very excited in his heart, Jiangnan Changxing Shipbuilding Base is finally about to be officially launched.
At the beginning of the press conference, Jin Hanlin, general manager of China Shipbuilding Industry Group, introduced the situation.
Jin Hanlin introduced the situation of this super project with full enthusiasm.
He said that Jiangnan Changxing Shipbuilding Base, as the world's largest shipbuilding base construction project, will surpass the world's largest shipbuilding base in one fell swoop, the modern heavy industry shipbuilding base of Weishan Guoguo.
As we all know, the Weishan Shipbuilding Base of Bangziguo Modern Heavy Industry Group, built in 1972, includes Hyundai Weishan and Hyundai Weipu Shipyards, covering an area of 72,000 square kilometers, with nine dry docks and an annual shipbuilding capacity of about 10 million deadweight tons.
Hyundai Heavy Industries Group is also the world's largest shipbuilding group, with a total of 70 million deadweight tons built in the past 30 years.
CSSC's shipbuilding capacity can only temporarily rank second.
However, through the two phases of construction, China State Shipbuilding Corporation will eventually build a state-of-the-art and most competitive large-scale shipbuilding base with 11 large docks and an annual shipbuilding capacity of 13 million tons on the 10-kilometer coastline of Changxing Island.
Among them, after the overall relocation of Jiangnan Changxing Shipbuilding Group, the annual shipbuilding capacity will be increased from 800,000 tons to 5 million tons, ranking among the world's top ten shipyards.
Jin Hanlin also said that since 1994, China's shipbuilding output has remained the third in the world for seven consecutive years.
According to the data of the China Shipbuilding Industry Association, China's shipbuilding industry is expected to complete the shipbuilding output of 4.5 million deadweight tons in 2002, a year-on-year increase of about 16%.
The new ship orders are about 6.5 million deadweight tons, and the hand-held ship orders are 13 million deadweight tons.
According to the current situation of the world's shipbuilding industry, it is expected that in 2008, after the first phase of the Jiangnan Changxing shipbuilding base project is fully put into use, China's shipbuilding completion will reach more than 30 million deadweight tons, and after the completion of the second phase of the project, China Shipbuilding Industry Group will launch an impact on the world's largest shipbuilding group, and China will steadily move towards the world's largest shipbuilding country.
Jin Hanlin also introduced that at present, China's shipbuilding industry has achieved leapfrog development in the construction technology of large-scale and high-value-added liquid cargo ships, ranking among the top in the world.
For example, the 20,000-square-meter liquefied gas ship built by Jiangnan Changxing Shipbuilding Group has received ten orders and four have been delivered.
At the same time, China Shipbuilding Industry Group has also made a major breakthrough in shipbuilding technology, pulsating production line shipbuilding has become one of the core competitiveness of China Shipbuilding Industry Group, which is also the world's first, is the crystallization of the wisdom and sweat of Chinese shipbuilders, the future of this technology will continue to be promoted in China Shipbuilding Industry Group, China Shipbuilding Changxing Shipbuilding Base, will be more applied to this technology, by that time China Shipbuilding Jiangnan Changxing Shipbuilding Base, will not only become the world's largest shipbuilding base, but also will become the world's most advanced shipbuilding base.
At the same time, the Technology Innovation Center of the Engineering Research Institute of China Shipbuilding Industry Group keeps up with the forefront of the world's cutting-edge manufacturing technology and is carrying out the research and development and application of additive manufacturing technology.
Hearing this news, both the guests and the reporters were excited, this is big news, additive manufacturing technology, very few people know about it, and it is unheard of in the shipbuilding industry.
The pulsating production line of China Shipbuilding Industry Group is shocking enough, and now it is engaged in additive manufacturing technology, and in the future, China Shipbuilding Industry Group is afraid that it will really become the world's largest shipbuilding group, and China will become the world's first shipbuilding power, which is just around the corner.
