On June 30, 2025, the land construction task of the Saudi King Port project, which was participated by Ningxia Power Construction, was fully completed. At this point, this world's largest "super shipyard" has the function of building ships, adding another highlight to the high-quality joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative in China.
The Kings Port project is located in the Lashair Industrial Park, Jubaile City, the eastern Saudi province. It was personally laid and named by King Salman. It is an important part of Saudi Arabia's "Vision 2030". After completion, it can provide new construction and MRO (maintenance, maintenance, overhaul) services for commercial ships including VLCC (super-large cruise ship), bulk carriers, offshore auxiliary ships (OSV) and offshore drilling platforms, which will significantly enhance Saudi Arabia's position in the global marine engineering industry chain.
This project has created many world's largest super shipyards: covering an area of 11.25 square kilometers - the world's largest super shipyard; the combined lifting weight of giant gantry cranes reaches 2,100 tons - the lifting capacity ranks among the world's forefront; the 25,000 tons of ship lifting capacity - the world's largest ship lifting system; the total length of the terminal is 7 kilometers - the world's longest wharf.
In 2019, Ningxia Power Construction settled in and participated in the installation and commissioning of P5 and P6 electrical systems, instrumentation and control and communication systems, outdoor lighting, grounding construction and other 172 building units and outdoor areas. Since the project construction, Ningxia Power Construction has promoted the implementation of the project with a high level of political awareness and action awareness. The company leaders went to the scene many times, fought with pictures, commanded from the front, mobilized high-quality resources, strengthened personnel allocation, and injected strong momentum into project promotion. The project team carefully arranges the construction period, implements scientific policies, and makes precise efforts to address difficult and painful points. The implementation of a series of powerful measures has laid a solid foundation for high-quality implementation of the project.
With its first-class compliance capabilities and solid work style, Ningxia Power Construction has overcome many forces majeure factors and completed the installation of more than 7,000 sets of electrical instrumentation equipment and the laying of 8,135 kilometers of cables and optical cables with high standards. The construction volume is so large that it is equivalent to the engineering volume of 6 million kilowatt thermal power units. Project safety and quality management have always maintained a high level index. The project has submitted a total of 60,000 acceptance materials, a one-time acceptance pass rate of 99%, and a project quality pass rate of 100%. The PQI has always remained above the Saudi Aramco standards.
After the Saudi King Port project is put into operation, it will drive Saudi Arabia's GDP to grow by about US$17 billion, replace imports of approximately US$12 billion, create about 80,000 jobs, and effectively promote Saudi Arabia to achieve the grand goal of "People National Transportation, National Ship and National Manufacturing". It is not only a fruitful crystallization of the traditional friendship between China and Saudi Arabia in the new era, but also a vivid example of the deep compatibility of the Belt and Road Initiative and Saudi Arabia's "Vision 2030" and a vivid example of the joint creation of a new chapter, and deeply interpreting the win-win concept of "consulting, co-constructing, and sharing".(This article is from the official website of Seetao www.seetao.com.
