Hong Kong-Production Synergy! Shandong Port Bohai Bay Port Safeguards the Overseas Journey of New Energy Equipment

Recently, the first batch of offshore wind power tower components produced by Shandong Changlin Marine Engineering Equipment Co., Ltd. was successfully loaded and shipped from the Weifang Port area of the Bohai Bay Port in Shandong. The development of coastal new energy equipment supporting businesses has accelerated, and the efficiency of offshore wind power equipment shipping channels continues to improve, serving as a vivid demonstration of the integration and effectiveness of the "three-zone integration" of the port, industrial park, and urban area.

Shandong Changlin Marine Engineering Equipment Co., Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Qingdao Wuxiao Group. As a leading domestic enterprise in new energy steel structure manufacturing, Qingdao Wuxiao Group specializes in wind power tower tubes, anchor bolt flanges, transmission towers, and other products. Its operations cover onshore wind power, offshore wind power, photovoltaic energy, power transmission, and offshore engineering. It is also a key coastal equipment manufacturing enterprise linked to Bohai Bay Port. The project was initiated in the industrial park in 2024, with Phase I completed and operational by December 2025. This year, it has entered a stage of stable mass production.

Relying on Weifang Port's geographical advantage, the company established a direct logistics chain connecting the factory and the port, enabling large-scale equipment to be gathered and directly loaded at the port, which not only cuts transshipment logistics costs but also mitigates risks associated with large-scale road transportation restrictions and uncertain road conditions. This provides secure and efficient shipping support for offshore wind power projects, creating a collaborative "front-port, back-factory" model between the port and the enterprise.

Bohai Bay Port deeply invests in the construction of the "three-zone integration" of ports, industrial parks, and urban areas, adhering to in-depth industry chain development and production empowerment. By collaborating with local governments and leveraging the industrial park's platforms and high-quality port services, it attracts premium industrial projects. This builds a virtuous cooperation model of "ports offering platforms, governments providing policies, and enterprises generating capacity." The port's logistics advantages continue to transform into industrial cluster advantages, drawing new energy equipment projects, boosting employment, extending and enhancing industrial chains, and contributing to the qualitative and efficient development of the local real economy.

The wind power tower components shipped this time are core parts of offshore wind power projects, requiring high precision standards for hoisting, storage, and loading operations. To ensure the safe loading and transportation of these large-scale components, the Weifang Port area made advance plans, collaborating with production companies, shipowners, and shipping agents to devise a specialized loading plan. The entire process of berth scheduling, equipment hoisting, binding, and reinforcement was optimized, with dedicated personnel overseeing the operations on-site. Strict control of handling safety and operational quality ensured the efficient completion of this shipment task, safeguarding the overseas delivery of new energy equipment.
