Qingdao Beihai Shipbuilding Heavy Industry Expands with AVEVA
AVEVA announced that Qingdao Beihai Shipbuilding Heavy Industry Co,. Ltd., has signed an agreement with a value close to USD 2 million to increase the use of AVEVA's marine solutions.
Qingdao Beihai Shipbuilding Heavy Industry is a key shipyard under the China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation (CSIC). The company is engaged in shipbuilding, ship-repair and conversion, building and repairing offshore facilities, building of large-size steel structures, plus designing and building of GRP boats and davits.
The shipyard has moved its operations to the new Haixiwan Shipbuilding & Ship-repairing Base at Qingdao Economic and Technical Development Zone. The current production target of the shipyard is 2,000,000 dwt. It has a long term goal to increase shipbuilding capacity to 4,680,000 dwt. This would be achieved with the benefits derived from using AVEVA's marine solutions and technical support from AVEVA's team in China which started over a year ago.
Peter Finch, President, AVEVA Asia Pacific, said:
"China needs a good foundation in the use of engineering IT in order to be the world leader in shipbuilding. AVEVA's marine solutions are widely used in China, Japan and Korea and have been developed and tailored to shipbuilders' needs from years of working with leading yards. Our solutions offer yards cost and time saving benefits to stay ahead in the shipbuilding industry's competitive environment."
