CSSC to build world's largest ship parts base

The China State Shipbuilding Corporation plans to turn its subsidiary, the Jiangnan Heavy Industry Co Ltd, into the biggest specialized marine-related equipment and ship fitting supply base in China in five years.

As the leading manufacturers of steel structures, LPG tanks and integrated mechanical engineering projects in China, JHIC has expanded its operation to marine-related equipment such as shaft and steering system, vessel LPG tanks, hatch cover and ship superstructure cabins. JHIC's new workshop on Changxing Island is expected to start production soon, helping increase the company's production of shaft and steering system by more than 100 per cent to reach 70-80 units annually.
