New Dayang Shipyard Breaks Ground on Major Smart Manufacturing Upgrade
Recently, a significant milestone was achieved at New Dayang Shipyard with the successful completion of the first steel structure lifting for the sub-assembly and panel line workshop. This project, led by CSSC NDRI, focuses on improving berth and dock productivity and implementing green smart manufacturing practices. The transition from foundation work to the main structural construction phase marks a crucial step forward in the project’s development.
Major Upgrade Project at New Dayang Shipyard
The project at New Dayang Shipyard aims to enhance production efficiency, promote green and smart manufacturing, and modernize the slipway and dry dock facilities. This initiative represents the third phase of technical upgrades at the shipyard since its establishment and is considered the largest technical upgrade project in the company’s history. Construction for this project is set to commence in April 2026.
Key Features and Impact of the Project
The new block assembly and welding workshop, a key component of the project, will play a vital role in advancing production efficiency at the shipbuilding slipways and dry docks. Once operational, this facility will significantly contribute to the transformation towards green and smart manufacturing at New Dayang Shipyard. With an estimated area of 50,000 square meters and two main spans of 46 meters and 51 meters, the workshop will cater to the assembly and welding requirements of large ship sections. Upon completion in the latter half of 2027, the project is expected to boost the shipyard’s annual delivery volume to 36 vessels, with a substantial increase in annual invoiced sales.
Conclusion
The New Dayang Shipyard’s ongoing project to enhance production efficiency and embrace green and smart manufacturing signifies a significant step towards modernizing its operations. With the construction of new facilities and equipment, the shipyard is poised to improve its production capacity and market competitiveness in the shipbuilding and offshore engineering sector. Stay tuned for further developments as New Dayang Shipyard continues its journey towards innovation and excellence in the maritime industry.
