Wison New Energies (WNE) and the Qidong Municipal Government of Jiangsu Province signed an investment agreement on 1 August, 2024, representing the official launch of WNE’s new yard for offshore facilities construction in Qidong Lusi Port Economic Development Zone. This is another significant milestone of Wison history, demonstrating Wison’s steadfast commitment to the field of clean energy.
The WNE Qidong Yard lies in the eastern harbor of Lusi Port, 98 km away from Shanghai HQ, and only 85 km away from Nantong yard which constructs floating facilities. These three yards form a stable triangle facilitating the management and execution throughout the project life cycle. WNE will fully leverage the unique geographical location and natural conditions of Lusi to transform the Wison Qidong Yard into a world-class high-end offshore equipment manufacturing facility, accommodating hull and module fabrication, integration, and commissioning.
The WNE Qidong Yard covers ~ 1.2 million square meters, and Phase I contains a shoreline length of 1370m with an excavated deep-water harbor basin. According to the development plan, there will be a 520m x 110m offshore dock, along with a 2,000t gantry crane. This yard will also have a module assembly area of 150,000 square meters equipped with a 1200t gantry crane, a berth for lifting and shipping modules up to 5,000t , and a RORO shipping terminal for modules up to 10,000t. Wison Qidong Yard will be able to process 250,000 tons of steel per year by the time its Phase I is built and put into operation in Q4, 2025.
The launch of the Qidong Yard is a practical action taken by WNE in respond to the national strategy of becoming a ‘strong maritime power’ and driving the high-quality development of the marine engineering equipment manufacturing industry. The establishment of the Qidong Yard will not only enhance WNE’s competitiveness in the global clean energy sector, but also inject new impetus into the marine economy of Qidong, Nantong, and even Jiangsu Province.
Liu Hongjun, Chairman of Wison New Energies said, “ WNE will build on this agreement to double-down on the research and development of offshore and marine facility construction, continuously improving product quality and technical capability. Meanwhile, WNE will also actively fulfill its social responsibility and contribute further to the economy and society of Qidong.”
