From Jianglian Shipbuilding to Xinjiang Shipbuilding Heavy Industry, from debt to rebirth, from bankruptcy and reorganization to successful revitalization. On the surface of Xiachao Lake, a well-shaped 10,000-ton ship is about to set sail, which is the continuation of the history of Jianglian Shipbuilding and a new beginning of Xinjiangzhou Shipbuilding Heavy Industry. It is with the precise attraction and strong support of the Ruichang Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government that this suspended giant ship has realized the revitalization of "sleeping resources" and made the "old trees" sprout.
Reminiscing about the "past" is inherited from the glorious years
(6214) Jiangxi United Shipyard is a national key third-line military factory established in the seventies of the 20th century according to the instructions of Chairman Mao Zedong to build China's second nuclear submarine manufacturing plant in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, with a construction investment of about 200 million yuan, and the factory has more than 7,000 employees at its peak, and all kinds of production and living facilities are complete. It has successively built more than 300 ships of various types, such as hydrographic survey ships, special engineering bridges, 1,500-passenger catamaran passenger ships, harbor tugboats, and inter-island water supply vessels of the South China Sea Fleet. With the change of the times, the former Jianglian shipyard gradually declined.
In 2023, the entry of Xinjiang Shipbuilding Industry Co., Ltd. will be like a spring breeze blowing through the barrenness, making this sleepy land revitalized again. Xinjiangzhou, a young shipyard, not only inherits the deep heritage of the shipyard in the European market, but also focuses on the intensive cultivation of liquid cargo ships, multi-purpose heavy crane ships, small offshore equipment and new energy ships with an enterprising attitude, and is committed to building a professional and high-quality shipbuilding brand.
Gather "people's hearts" and unite as one, and the flowers are full of branches
In the production line, the first stainless steel chemical carrier in Xinjiang is under construction. Since its launch on November 30 last year, the ship, which symbolizes a new starting point, has successfully completed the construction of the main body in sections, entered the painting stage, and is about to usher in the historic moment of the slipway closing. In the face of the challenge of stainless steel hull manufacturing, the special team established by Xinjiang Zhou ensures that every process meets the highest standards with a rigorous attitude and exquisite technology, and every inch of steel plate embodies the wisdom and sweat of craftsmen.
"In the big family of Xinjiangzhou, every member is an important force to promote the progress of the enterprise." The words of the painting minister Hong Songbing are like a mirror, reflecting the company's unity and positive style. The leap in production capacity brought about by technological transformation and equipment upgrading not only makes employees full of confidence, but also further enhances the competitiveness of Xinjiangzhou in the global marine market.
Xinjiangzhou actively broadens its horizons and carries out in-depth exchanges with Russia, South Korea, Indonesia, Germany, etc., so that "Made in China" ships can go to the world. These collaborations not only demonstrate the competitiveness of New Jiangzhou in the global market, but also a sign of its growing brand influence. Every order is a solid step taken by Xinjiangzhou on the international stage, proving that the "old tree" can not only sprout, but also flourish and bloom.
Endow "kinetic energy" scientific and technological talents to move forward side by side
Walking into the modern workshop of Xinjiangzhou, the old equipment has been replaced by advanced technology and intelligent production lines. The introduction of high-tech equipment such as laser cutting machines and aerial work vehicles has not only improved production efficiency, but also plugged in the wings of science and technology for the traditional shipbuilding industry. Facing the future, the eyes of Xinjiangzhou Shipbuilding Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. are firmly focused on the deep blue of new energy and new technology. By 2026, the company plans to achieve the goal of an output value of 1.5 billion to 2 billion yuan and deliver about 12 ships with new energy ships as a breakthrough, becoming a leader in the field of new energy ships. The recently signed Danish chemical tanker, which combines cutting-edge technologies such as electric propulsion, methanol dual fuel and ship-wide energy storage, is the result of Xinjiangzhou's new energy integration plan.
In the final analysis, the competition of enterprises is the competition of talents. The company adheres to the concept of "integration and innovation", on the one hand, absorbs the valuable experience and technology of the original Jiangzhou shipyard, on the other hand, recruits talents, more than 80% of the management and technical backbone come from the outside, which not only injects fresh blood into the company, but also promotes the integration of knowledge and experience, forming an open, diversified and efficient talent structure. At the same time, the company does not forget its social responsibility, and through the policy of "collecting all receivables", it has properly solved the employment problem of former Jiangzhou employees and realized the harmonious coexistence of talents and culture. At the same time, the company promotes an "open innovation" culture, encourages cross-departmental communication and cooperation, breaks down hierarchical barriers, and allows employees with different backgrounds and expertise to collide with new creative sparks.
Spread the "good news" International orders have been fruitful
The Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, in the spring breeze in March, Xinjiangzhou's good news is frequent. On March 19, it signed orders with the Netherlands and German shipowners on March 31 for ten ships, and on April 23 with Danish shipowners signed contracts for eight new energy duplex stainless steel chemical tankers, which made Xinjiangzhou's debut on the international stage.
These orders not only demonstrate the company's outstanding ability in the integration of new energy and high-end technologies, but also mark the milestone of its hand-held order volume reaching 18 ships, with a total value of more than 2.6 billion yuan, laying a solid foundation for the company's development. The strong performance in the first quarter is the fruit of the strategic transformation.
Look at the future, dream sail and book new brilliance
Here, every drop of sweat and every weld is the most vivid interpretation of the miracle of "old trees sprouting new sprouts". It has not only witnessed the rebirth of traditional manufacturing, but also become a legendary story of dreams, courage and innovation. Every attempt and breakthrough of Xinjiangzhou is a powerful demonstration of the power of the "Made in China" brand. In this place where dreams set sail, there is not only the tenacity and perseverance of the older generation of shipbuilders, but also the wisdom and innovation of the new generation of engineers. Together, they have drawn a blueprint to transform their endless yearning for the ocean and the ultimate pursuit of technology into high-quality ships sailing to the world. Xinjiangzhou Shipbuilding Heavy Industry, a giant reborn on the bank of the Ganjiang River, not only carries the glory and memory of the past, but also nurtures the hopes and dreams of the future. Its trajectory is a witness of time, a force for change, and a vivid practice of the beautiful vision of "old trees and new sprouts". In the future journey, Xinjiangzhou will continue to embrace the world with an open attitude, win trust with excellent quality, and lead the trend with continuous innovation.
