To ensure the smooth progress of the shipbuilding projects for three companies—specifically, the 6,250 DWT general cargo vessel for Rongcheng Haichen, the 4,200 DWT ultra-low temperature refrigerated transport vessel for Hainan Tongtai, and the 47-meter ultra-low temperature tuna longline fishing vessel for Shandong Shawo Island—a pre-commencement meeting was convened on December 25, hosted by the Shidao branch of the China Classification Society (CCS). The meeting was attended by relevant heads of Yuantong Company’s production, construction, quality inspection, design, and business departments, as well as by shipowner representatives and supervisors from Rongcheng Haichen, Hainan Tongtai, and Shandong Shawo Island.
Mr. Fu Xiujun, the company's Deputy General Manager, presented an overview of the preparations for the shipbuilding project—covering the assignment of project leads, site readiness, material procurement, and design specifications—as well as the construction schedule and personnel deployment plans.
During this kick-off meeting, the Shidao branch of the China Classification Society (CCS) affirmed the significance of the proceedings. They outlined specific requirements regarding the shipyard's safety protocols, construction standards, and inspection reporting procedures, while also offering constructive recommendations for the progress inspections of the three distinct vessel types under construction. Furthermore, the participants engaged in a thorough exchange regarding potential challenges that might arise during the project and discussed viable solutions and approaches to address them.
