Chairman Zhu Fu Lin welcomes guests with excellent fresh brewed local tea and explains the range of work at the DongGuan Nanxiang shipyard. From a large fishing boat building for a Hong Kong customer to a variety of heavy lifting crane-vessels of various sizes for a range of customers.

Although not the largest, the 400-ton capacity 62.2 by 26.2-meter crane barge that the yard had under construction in mid-March was a good representation. A pair of Cummins KT38 mains, generating 780 KW each, powers the 4.8-meter deep barge. The two main engines are located in separate port and starboard engine rooms. Each engine room also has a Cummins KTA19 powered 350 KW generator. This significant electrical power is required to run the electric and hydraulic systems for the three-drum winch and pedestal-mounted crane. A smaller hotel generator is provided for that deckhouse and running lights.

Accommodation is provided in the aft-mounted deckhouse for a crew of up to 20 in eight, two-person staterooms and two, two-person rooms. Designed and built in China for a domestic China customer, the crane barge is a reminder of the importance of the domestic market to Guangdong Province’s shipyards. Delivery is anticipated for later this year.
