On 30 January 2026, DSIC ChangXing Shipyard Co., Ltd. officially adopted its new name after approval from the Market Supervision and Administration Bureau. The company said the rebranding marked the start of a new development phase during the 15th Five-Year Plan period.
The yard, established in February 2020, traces its roots to the long-established ship repair business of Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Co., Ltd. The company said its development has been supported by the engineering capabilities of the DSIC Design and Research Institute and management resources from DSIC Shanhaiguan Shipbuilding Industry Co., Ltd.
Located in the Changxingdao Economic Zone in Dalian, DSIC ChangXing Shipyard Co., Ltd. is positioned within the Bohai Rim shipbuilding and repair base. The yard covers about 1 million sq m and includes a 300,000 DWT dry dock measuring 420 m by 68 m, capable of handling ultra-large container ships of up to 24,000 TEU. It also operates a 200,000 DWT dry dock measuring 330 m by 58 m.
Through coordination with DSIC Shanhaiguan Shipbuilding Industry Co., Ltd., the yard can draw on five ship repair docks in the Bohai Bay region. The quay extends more than 3,600 m with a water depth of about 10.8 m, allowing direct berthing alongside the quay. The site also includes hull fabrication, pipe, mechanical, electrical and painting workshops totaling 29,000 sq m, as well as technical service stations for main engines, automation systems, and fire-fighting and life-saving appliances. A 480 t gantry crane is also part of the yard’s production system.
The company said it has an annual capacity to repair more than 130 vessels and to carry out three to five large ship conversions and offshore projects each year. Its repair and conversion work includes bulbous bow retrofit, rudder modification, ballast water treatment system retrofitting, shaft generator installation, wind shield installation, scrubber installation, wind-assisted propulsion systems, and dual-fuel system conversions.
In offshore work, DSIC ChangXing Shipyard Co., Ltd. said it has full-chain capability covering FPSO hull conversion and construction, as well as module fabrication and integration. The company said it has delivered several FPSO and FSO projects and also participated in the hull newbuilding project for M350 FPSO. In module fabrication, total deliveries have exceeded 70,000 t, with business scope expanding from offshore modules to onshore modules.
For the 15th Five-Year Plan period, the company set out a direction of strengthening ship repair, stabilizing offshore projects, and moderately developing special vessel newbuilding. It also said it will continue to upgrade hardware facilities and expand construction capacity for special vessels.
