Ingenuity, excellent quality
The success of Henghui 102(NJZ1116) Stainless Steel Chemical Tanker is inseparable from the hard work and unremitting efforts of all employees of New Jiangzhou Shipbuilding Industry. As IMO II chemical tanker, it has taken into account the special requirements for the carriage of phenol and other dangerous chemicals at the beginning of its design, and its hull structure is built strictly accordance with the highest international standards, with the ability of loading in separate tanks. In addition, the vessel also has a tilted bow, a streamlined bulbous bow, continuous freeboard deck throughout the vessel, and the double bottom double hull structure is adopted in the liquid cargo area, which greatly improves the safety and stability of the vessel.
In the construction period, New Jiangzhou Shipbuilding Industry is capable of breaking through the tradition, and implemented the combined construction process of stainless-steel corrugated bulkhead blocks and deck blocks at the first time, greatly reducing the difficulty of welding, and effectively improving the quality and efficiency of corrugated bulkhead blocks. This achievement not only reflects the deep heritage of New Jiangzhou Shipbuilding Industry in technological innovation, but also shows its firm determination in the pursuit of efficient and high-quality construction.
However, the excellence of New Jiangzhou Shipbuilding Industry is not only reflected in technological innovation. Throughout the construction process, we always uphold the artisan spirit of " Strive for excellence and pursuit of excellence". From the careful construction of the hull structure to the detailed installation of the systems in engine room; from the strict testing of the tightness of the oil tanks and water tanks to the careful coating of ballast tanks, to the accurate installation of outfitting parts and the perfect spraying of the outer surface paint for the whole vessel, every link embodies the wisdom and sweat of New Jiangzhou people. They know that only by pursuing perfection in every detail can they create a truly boutique vessel. In the end, with the joint efforts of all employees, Henghui 102 not only successfully achieved the launching goal, but also won high praise from shipowners for its excellent quality.
many challenges, but fact to it
However, Henghui 102's road to launching is not always easy. In the process of moving the vessel, New Jiangzhou Shipbuilding Industry is facing many unprecedented challenges. First of all, most employees involved in vessel moving are their first experience, lacking practical experience, and technical personnel as well as the staffs of various departments in a large proportion, and the front-line work experience is relatively insufficient. Second, moving the vessel is a large integrated operation, requiring more than 130 people to work together, step by step, clear division of labor, and unified command to ensure success. In addition, as the equipment used for moving the vessel, such as trolleys, rollers, master command controller and so on, has not been put to use for many years, and the maintenance work is extremely difficult.
In the face of these difficulties and challenges, New Jiangzhou Shipbuilding Industry did not retreat but rose to the challenge. The company organized various departments to carry out vessel-moving training in advance, and clarified the responsibilities and responsible persons of each department to hold a special meeting to make detailed work program and procedures for vessel-moving, as well as defined the division of responsibilities; determined the vessel-moving commander, and announced matters for attention and organizational discipline. At the same time, all the vessel-moving equipment and facilities were comprehensively checked and maintained to ensure the good operation of the equipment and facilities. In the process of moving the vessel, special personnel are also arranged to secure that possible problems are solved at any time, so as to ensure the smooth progress of vessel-moving work.
