And, in production design, XSI has set up an advanced CAD system.   

   
4.History & Achievements
The history of XSI is more than 150 years. It was established in 1858, invested by a British merchant. At that time it was named Xiamen Dock Company, which, then, owned China’s first 1000DWT dry dock. It was taken over by Fujian Shipbuilding Industry Group Co. in 1983. In 1996, in order to meet the necessity of the transformation of old urban area in Xiamen island, XSI moved to Haicang District where it’s located now, and started to build 820TEU container vessel exported to Germany and 30,000DWT multi-purpose heavy lift container vessel which was named “one of the world’s top ten excellent ship types -2000”. Since then, XSI became a 100% export-oriented shipbuilding enterprise, and won the CSSC’s award for progress in science and technology.
In 2002, under the sponsorship of Fujian Shipbuilding Industry Group Co. and joined by Fujian Mindong Electric Power Co., Ltd., Xiamen C&D Inc., Chongqing Iron & Steel Co., Ltd, and Xiamen Mingshun Trade Co., Ltd. (shareholders), XSI was established. During this period, XSI mainly produced 50,000DWT bulk carriers exported to England. In 2004, XSI began to build 4,900 Car PCTC, which was known as “Xiamen Type” in shipbuilding field with the characteristics of smooth outline and high quality, and it won many honors for both XSI and Xiamen. Xiamen was awarded as “National Export Base of Ships” because of this type of vessel. Until now, 18 ships of this type of vessel have been delivered.
Since 2012, XSI had successfully carried out strategic transformation, strived to develop offshore engineering vessels, and had received many orders from Malaysia, Singapore, etc. for the construction of various types of offshore engineering vessels. So far, XSI has constructed 200 Men accommodation vessels, 300 Men accommodation vessels, 75M PSVs, 78M PSVs and 99.8M accommodation/inspection/maintenance/repair vessels, etc., in addition, XSI has also constructed 600DWT marine surveillance vessels and 1,000DWT fishery administration vessels for China government. In 2013, with the advantages of being in the leading position of building PCTCs, XSI further improved its techniques in PCTC building practices, and obtained an order from a European ship owner for the construction of 8 ships of 8,500 Car PCTCs, which is the world’s largest PCTC presently. Consequently, the project brought new development momentum for XSI.
The products of XSI are mainly exported to Europe, America, Southeast Asia, etc.. Their quality has got the certificate from DNV-GL, LR, ABS, BV, NK, CCS, etc., and also from Hong Kong Marine Bureau. XSI has established the ISO9001 quality control system in 2006, established ISO9001/OHSAS18001 quality and occupational health safety control system in 2009, and in Nov. 2010, XSI pioneered to implement “QEO” in the shipbuilding industry. “QEO”, shorts for Quality/Environment/Safety, which is an integrative system of ISO9001/ISO14001/OHSAS18001.
