DALIAN CHARTS GREEN ROUTE TO BECOMING SHIPBUILDING LEADER

Northeastern port city targets massive industrial scale as industry undergoes transformation

Amid the strong growth in China's shipbuilding industry, Dalian is navigating a course to becoming a global leader in green ship and marine equipment construction, repairs and retrofitting work.

The northeastern port city in Liaoning province is aiming to surpass an industrial scale of 100 billion yuan ($13.83 billion) in 2027.

In the Dalian Changxing Island Economic and Technological Development Zone, shipbuilder Hengli Heavy Industries has already solidified its manufacturing credentials in a relatively short period of time.
