On October 11, the 90th meeting of the Chinese ship repair company "SPCC" was successfully held in Rongcheng, Shandong. The meeting was co-hosted by SPCC Executive Chairman Li Zhengjian and Huang Guiqi, Chairman of the 90th rotating chair unit CUD (Weihai) Shipyard Co., LTD.

Since 2017, Xinhong Heavy Industry has been engaged in ship repair business, relying on its superior geographical location and complete facilities, with annual output value increasing from 200 million in 2018 to 700 million, capable of repairing 240 ships annually. The company emphasizes the importance of team building, equipment upgrading, and management improvement, while recognizing its shortcomings in capacity, refined management, and green production. In the future, the company plans to actively move towards a sustainable modern enterprise by expanding its scale through investment, developing high value-added projects, and introducing advanced equipment. It hopes that participants will work together to contribute to the future of China's ship repair industry.

        Subsequently, each member unit of SPCC exchanged information on their operating conditions from January to September 2024, analyzing market trends and strategies.

        According to the summary of the 90th SPCC meeting, the records of the top 25 major ship repair enterprises in China for the first three quarters show that the ship repair output value reached 27.8 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 7.8%, with a quarter-on-quarter increase of nearly 1 percentage point; 4,565 ships were completed and delivered, a year-on-year increase of 2.7%, with a quarter-on-quarter increase of nearly three percentage points, achieving "double growth" across the industry again.
