The effective application of grouping technology in shipbuilding production has improved the integrity of the segments, and the realization of preassembly of the container foot on the segments and the integrity of preoutfitting of the total superstructure group are in the leading position in China. The successful construction of Yantai-Dalian Train Ferry, the most advanced all-electric propulsion passenger ship integrating train, automobile and passenger transportation in China, has established the leading position of Xingang Shipyard in the field of train ferry construction in China. Aiming at the advanced level of shipbuilding in the world, Xingang Shipyard has continuously reformed the production management system, and completed the standard operation procedures of lane separation, positioning and flow of water for the integration of hull, outfitting and painting in the areas of inner yard, platform and wharf; it has also set up the standardized production planning system, perfected the relationship between the construction plan, load plan, and schedule plan, and realized the forward movement of outfitting works, which ensures the shortening of the ship construction cycle and the continuous improvement of the quality of ships. The company has established a standardized production planning system and perfected the relationship between construction plan, load plan and schedule plan.
Tianjin Xingang Shipyard's ship-repairing production, by virtue of the enterprise's comprehensive design capability, production and supporting capacity, and its modern equipment and management means, strives to provide first-class services for domestic and foreign users, not only overhauling ships according to the China Classification Society (CCS) specifications, but also meeting the requirements of LR, NK, GL, KR and other international class organizations, as well as the requirements of the International Bureau of Shipping (IBS). (KR) and other international classification societies to repair and refit offshore oil platforms and all kinds of ships, and is an important base for repairing, refitting and manufacturing of ships, offshore engineering and large-scale onshore engineering in northern China. It adopts microcomputer management system for ship repairing, and has realized standardization of process, specialization of technology and mechanization of dock repairing. In recent years, the company has been actively exploring the road of repairing high value-added ships and refitting ships, and has successfully repaired and refitted chemical ships, ro-ro ships, asphalt ships and other ships for domestic and foreign shipowners, which has won the praise of customers.
While developing shipbuilding and ship repairing production, Tianjin Xingang Shipyard vigorously broadens its business scope and develops land-based steel structure and machinery manufacturing industry by virtue of its shipbuilding technology and strong shipbuilding steel structure processing capability. At present, port and transmission machinery, metallurgical and coking equipment, and offshore oil life module manufacturing have become fist products and entered the international market. The crane manufacturing level of Xingang Shipyard has entered into the advanced ranks in the world, and the 55t-125m and 66t-141m container cranes that have been delivered for use are the fifth and even the sixth generation of large-scale container loading and unloading machinery for harbors in the world, and their degree of automation and manufacturing precision have reached the international advanced level. In cooperation with TKF, it has successfully built three 6000t/h ship loaders for Shenhua Tianjin Port Coal Terminal Company, which are the largest among the same type of equipment in China.
