On December 4, the opening ceremony of the Hengli Green Ship Development Conference was held in Dalian.
Xu Maoping, member of the Standing Committee of the Liaoning Provincial Party Committee and Secretary of the Dalian Municipal Party Committee, stated that Dalian boasts rich marine resources and excellent port conditions.
Dalian is cultivating and expanding the high-tech shipbuilding and marine engineering equipment industry, and is making every effort to build a world-class shipbuilding and marine engineering industry base.
In 2022, Hengli Group ventured into the shipbuilding industry, revitalizing the previously idle assets of STX Shipyard and other properties within just two years. They completed the first phase of the Hengli Heavy Industries Industrial Park, creating the “Hengli Speed” and establishing the “Hengli Quality,” becoming a model for high-quality development among private enterprises.
Chen Jianhua, Chairman of Hengli Group, said that since its establishment 30 years ago, Hengli Group has built the world’s largest textile enterprise, the world’s largest industrial yarn and PTA production base, China’s first 20 million ton private refining project, and pioneered the full industrial chain development model of “from a drop of oil to a piece of cloth” and “from a piece of coal to a piece of cloth”. Every industry developed by Hengli has become a global industry benchmark.
