From 19 to 21, August,  South China University of Technology (SCUT) sent heads of School of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering, School of Civil and Transportation, School of Materials Science and Engineering as well as personnel ffrom the Department of Technology Service to visit CIMC Ocean Engineering Research Institute and Yantai CIMC Raffles and Marine Engineering co., LTD., with the two sides carrying on a thorough discussion about how to further strengthen the cooperation in the field of ocean engineering.

On the symposium, the two sides respectively introduced the research progress in the field of marine engineering and technical requirements in the profession. While SCUT enjoys good foundation and has formed distinctive characteristics in the fields of marine engineering equipment, marine antifouling materials, CIMC heads others in the world with regard to marine engineering business as a leading marine engineering equipment manufacturers, with the main products like jack-up drilling platform, semi-submersible drilling platform and ocean engineering auxiliaries, etc., with the State Energy R & D Center of Offshore Oil Drilling Platform (Test) center approved by the National Energy Administration. After full  round of communication, both sides agreed to further strengthen cooperation in the field of ocean engineering in conformity with the national strategic needs, with broad space ahead for cooperation. 

It is reported that Yantai CIMC Raffles and Marine Engineering co., LTD. is an integrated enterprise about designing, construction, commissioning, capable of building high-end marine engineering equipment and other ships of marine engineering for special purpose. Its products cover most of the marine engineering fields on the basis of sharp competence of mass production, industrialization as the first in China. In terms of its scale, the enterprise outranks others as the largest marine engineering manufacturing base in China.
