"New Engine" Powered Up! Construction Officially Commences on Phase I of the Wuhu Amphibious Equipment Intelligent Manufacturing Project.

On August 21, the Phase I construction of the Wuhu Amphibious Equipment Intelligent Manufacturing Project officially commenced at Wuhu Shipyard. This milestone not only materializes the production and research spaces for the collaborative innovation initiative within the amphibious platform industry chain, but also marks the official firing-up of the "new engine" driving the century-old shipyard's future growth.

Groundbreaking Ceremony: United Efforts Across All Parties to Launch a New Chapter.

The groundbreaking ceremony was graced by the presence of Mr. Zhang Zhao, Chairman of the company. Other distinguished attendees included Mr. Wang Zhaohui, Chief Project Engineer of Shanghai Shenjian Design Institute; Mr. Wang Shuzhou, Chief Project Engineer of Changsha Nuclear Industry Engineering Survey Institute; Mr. Lu Tingquan, Project Director of Anhui Guohe Engineering Consulting; Mr. Zhang Xingwu, General Manager of Anhui Nantian Construction; Mr. Mao Yun, Chairman of Wuhu Jing Shuai Construction; and other key representatives from relevant parties.

All project stakeholders offered their congratulations on the successful start of construction, and affirmed their commitment to close collaboration and aligned efforts. They pledged to execute all construction tasks at the highest standards, ensuring the project's timely completion with assured quality.

The groundbreaking and foundation-stone laying ceremony signifies that the project has officially entered its substantive construction stage.

Project Profile: A 30,000-Square-Meter Smart Manufacturing Facility Takes Shape.

The Phase I development comprises a total gross floor area of about 30,000 m². The principal works include a stainless steel fabrication workshop (approx. 30,000 m²), a research and development building (over 4,000 m²), and associated site supporting infrastructure.

The project will be developed following the overarching principle of "intelligent workshops, green production, and digital manufacturing." Committed to high-standard construction, high-efficiency implementation, and high-quality operations, the project will serve as a key driver for the enterprise to enhance quality, expand capacity, and achieve iterative transformation and upgrading.

Once completed, the project will become the central platform for amphibious equipment research, development, and production.

Strategic Significance: Bridging the Gaps and Voyaging into the Blue Waters.

In his address at the ceremony, Mr. Zhang Zhao noted that the project launch represents both a concrete implementation of the call from the Third Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee to "advance manufacturing toward high-end, intelligent, and green development," and a pivotal move in executing the Wuhu "Six Cities" initiative, the High-Tech Zone's "3326" strategic plan, and the company's "1573" 15th Five-Year development roadmap. The project is closely aligned with the nation's strategic needs in the emergency response sector, with a focus on rescue and support operations including urban flooding mitigation, flood relief, maritime emergency response, and transportation across challenging terrains. It is designed to address domestic shortcomings in amphibious emergency equipment, foster high-quality growth of the amphibious equipment industry throughout the province, and serve as the "new engine" driving the century-old Wuhu Shipyard—now poised at a multi-billion-yuan scale—toward the vast blue waters.

Policy Backing: Empowering a Provincial Key Project.

In July of this year, the project "Key Technology Development and Industrialization of Amphibious Platforms" was officially designated as one of the 2026 Anhui Provincial Priority Projects under the "Manufacturing Powerhouse Province" initiative.

Anchored in the national strategic needs for emergency response industries and the province's high-end manufacturing development agenda, Wuhu Shipyard will capitalize on the province's combined expertise in automotive and shipbuilding technologies. Drawing upon its century-proven competencies in structural design, welding and fabrication, propulsion integration, and marine performance optimization, the shipyard is committed to bridging the domestic gaps in amphibious emergency equipment and accelerating the high-quality industrialization of the province's amphibious equipment sector.

Evolving from a planning document to a construction site, the groundbreaking of the Wuhu Amphibious Equipment Intelligent Manufacturing Project marks not only an important milestone in the development history of Wuhu Shipyard but also a key strategic deployment in Anhui Province's high-end equipment manufacturing sector.

By pursuing high-quality development, we are committed to making new and greater contributions to the construction of Wuhu as a premier hub for intelligent manufacturing and to the high-quality advancement of China's shipbuilding sector. The century-old Wuhu Shipyard is voyaging toward a future of boundless horizons.
