Combined with the company’s new, innovative operating model and technological platform and Jiangsu Rongsheng Heavy Industries Company Limited’s (“Jiangsu Rongsheng”) strong manufacturing base, China Rongsheng Heavy Industries has gained access to the global market and can now make their presence felt in the high-end marine equipment manufacturing field. By improving efficiency and lowering cost through synergizing the Group’s various business areas, we are confident that we can build Rongsheng into a world-class offshore engineering brand.” The tender barge, ordered by a Norwegian customer, is currently one of the largest of its kind in the world, complete with a high-tech, high value-added deepwater engineering apparatus that boasts a wide scope of applications and excellent cost performance.
