Changxing Marine Laboratory is a quasi-industrial public research platform in the field of marine equipment built by Shanghai Jiao Tong University. It was approved as a new-type research and development institution, “Shanghai Changxing Marine Laboratory,” by Shanghai in June 2021. The laboratory focuses on the research and development of high-end marine equipment, connecting the entire chain of “basic research—applied research—industrial transformation.” Located at No. 1896 Changtao Road, Changxing Island, Shanghai, the laboratory covers an area of 295 mu, with plans to build eight experimental building clusters and one science and innovation park. Currently, the first phase of five major experimental functional areas, approximately 140,000 square meters, has been fully put into use, and a number of quasi-industrial experimental platforms have been completed and are operational.
At the meeting, Lin Zhongqin and You Ruikai, on behalf of Changxing Marine Laboratory and Zhenhua Heavy Industries respectively, signed a membership co-construction agreement for the industrial sector.
