COSCO SHIPPING (Qidong) Offshore has completed the main construction phase of its outfitting quay renovation and expansion project in Jiangsu Province, China.
The project passed its final quality inspection on 20 April 2026, confirming that the upgraded facility meets the conditions for handover.
Located at the eastern end of Qidong Shipbuilding Industrial Park, the quay is part of offshore engineering infrastructure on the northern side of the Yangtze River estuary.
The project included the construction of a new 220 m, 300,000-tonne-class outfitting berth. Connected with the existing wharf, the facility now provides a total quay frontage of 1,420 m. Construction began in September 2025 and was completed in about eight months.
Following the handover, COSCO SHIPPING (Qidong) Offshore carried out corrective work based on inspection findings and coordinated the transition from acceptance to commissioning.
The quay has now entered ship outfitting operations. The company said the facility will support its current order backlog, help maintain schedules for key offshore engineering projects, and support competitiveness in the high-end offshore equipment manufacturing sector.
The Asset Management Department is also advancing specialized acceptance inspections and filing the final acceptance report to ensure compliance requirements are met as operations begin.
