At 3:28 pm on August 13, as eight fixed cables were untied from the piles, the deck ship loaded with three sets of conductors slowly sailed away from the Jishu operation area of Yangjiang Port under the guidance of the escort ship. This is the first batch of deep-sea offshore wind power conductors independently produced by Yangjiang City and applied to local projects, marking that Yangjiang City's offshore engineering equipment manufacturing capacity has been further improved, helping offshore wind power projects reduce costs, improve quality and increase efficiency.
That afternoon, the reporter saw at the J16# berth of the Jishu Operation Area of Yangjiang Port that the first three sets of yellow and gray offshore wind power conductor racks stood steadily on the transport deck, "ready to go", and the workers were conducting reinforcement inspections before shipment. In the cargo yard not far from the dock, rows of conductor racks were neatly arranged, and a 100-meter-high giant gantry crane stood in the steel team, overlooking the vast ocean.
The jacket is the base and "support leg" of the wind farm, used to support the main engine and blades of the entire wind turbine. The three jackets that went to sea this time were all independently produced by Guangdong Blue Water New Energy Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd. The jacket is a four-legged truss structure consisting of a grouting section, a main structure, and a transition section. The total height is about 70 meters, the span is 33 meters, and the total weight of a single set is between 1,300 tons and 1,550 tons.
Shipping three sets of "giants" is not an easy task. The reporter learned that the jackets were loaded on August 11, and it took three days to complete the lifting, loading, welding and fixing. To ensure the smooth completion of the shipment, the Yangjiang Municipal Government, the Yangjiang Binhai New Area (Yangjiang High-tech Zone) Management Committee and relevant departments worked together to coordinate the dispatch of docks and escort ships to escort the shipment.
"The production cycle of a single set of jackets is about two months. Our production workshop can produce four sets of such jackets at the same time. This efficiency is at the leading level in the industry." A relevant person in charge of Guangdong Blue Water New Energy Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd. introduced that the production threshold of jackets is high and the technical requirements are high. In order to build a high-end marine engineering equipment manufacturing base, the company's workshop "tailors" according to the size of marine engineering products. The production process is not affected by the weather, which provides a strong guarantee for efficient production.
The "Blue Water Speed" does not stop there. As the first project put into production in Area B of the Port Industrial Park of Yangjiang Binhai New Area (Yangjiang High-tech Zone), the overall construction of the Guangdong Blue Water New Energy Equipment Manufacturing Base Project took only 10 months from signing to production, achieving the goal of obtaining land, starting construction, and putting into production in the same year. "Currently, the production and sales of the project are smooth, and orders have been scheduled until October." The person in charge said that Yangjiang has rich wind energy resources and obvious port location advantages. In addition, government departments provide "nanny-style" services and policy support for enterprises, which has inherent advantages in the development of heavy marine engineering equipment.
The successful shipment of the first batch of self-produced deep-sea offshore wind power conductor frames has added confidence to the project's continued increase in production and efficiency. Next, the company will continue to focus on the manufacturing of offshore wind power conductor frames, wind turbine foundations, shipbuilding, marine ranches and other high-end marine equipment, accelerate the transformation and development of clean and low-carbon energy, promote the localization of more high-end marine equipment, and contribute to Yangjiang's efforts to build a green energy capital.
