Recently, the 300-ton gantry crane project built by Runbang Heavy Industry, a subsidiary of Runbang Marine, for the Wison Clean Energy Qidong Base officially commenced. Relevant leaders from both units jointly attended the ignition ceremony.
This gantry crane is a heavy lifting equipment tailor-made for offshore engineering enterprises. The whole machine takes lightweight design as its core, effectively reducing infrastructure and operating costs through scientific structural optimization. It is equipped with full-frequency variable speed drive and PLC intelligent control system, balancing precise micro-operation with high efficiency and energy saving. The equipment adopts standardized design and a pre-welding bracket process to enhance structural lifespan and anti-corrosion capability from the source. Modular construction combined with a remote fault diagnosis system makes daily maintenance more convenient and reliable.
GENMA will strictly control the entire manufacturing process, promote project fulfillment with high standards and high quality, ensure timely and high-quality delivery of the equipment, and assist customers in further improving production efficiency.
It is understood that the Qidong Base is another core strategic platform for Wison Clean Energy to enhance its global competitiveness. After the project is completed, it will significantly strengthen Wison’s full industry chain integration capabilities in the clean energy field, particularly in high-end offshore engineering equipment such as large floating energy production units (/FPSO) and modular units, as well as its green, large-scale, and intelligent construction capabilities. With the steady progress of various construction milestones, Wison Clean Energy will use the Qidong Base as a new engine to provide higher quality floating clean energy solutions to global customers, jointly seizing energy transition opportunities and sharing new opportunities for green development.
In August 2024, Wison Clean Energy signed an investment agreement with the Qidong Municipal Government for the offshore engineering equipment base project. The total investment of the project is approximately 9 billion yuan, to be constructed in two phases. The first phase involves an investment of about 6 billion yuan, with a planned land area of approximately 1,683 mu and a shoreline usage of about 1,370 meters. Its main products include FLNG and supporting modules, floating natural gas power generation facilities, and floating wind power. The second phase involves an investment of about 3 billion yuan. After the project reaches full production, the annual output value will be approximately 20 billion yuan, with an annual average comprehensive tax revenue of 300,000 yuan per mu.
In February last year, the Qidong Wison Offshore Engineering Equipment Base project officially commenced. The Qidong Base covers an area of approximately 1.2 million square meters, has a shoreline length of 1,372 meters, and is equipped with a 520-meter long, 90-meter wide offshore engineering dock. The overall planning and design of the base was completed by China Shipbuilding NDRI Engineering Co., Ltd. In January this year, the Qidong Base held a trial production commencement ceremony, officially transitioning from the comprehensive construction phase to the production and operation phase.
Wison Clean Energy’s Qidong Base is located in the East Port Basin of Lvsi Port, 98 kilometers from Wison’s Shanghai headquarters and only 85 kilometers from the Nantong floating facility construction base. The three locations form a stable triangular support, providing convenience for efficient management and execution of the project’s full lifecycle. Wison Clean Energy will fully leverage the unique geographical location and natural conditions of Lvsi Port to build the Wison Qidong Base into an internationally competitive high-end offshore engineering equipment production base integrating large hull and module construction, integration, and commissioning.
