Wuhan Company's construction of the Shuikou Shiplift won the second prize of National Science and Technology Progress Award

On January 8, 2007, during the National Science and Technology Awards Conference held in Beijing, Wuhan Shipbuilding Industry Co., Ltd. was honored with the Second Prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award for its successful development and operation of the 2x500-ton vertical ship lift at the Fujian Shuikou Power Plant. This achievement marks a significant milestone in China's engineering and technological advancements. The Shuikou Ship Lift, designed and installed by Wuhan Shipbuilding Industry, is the largest operational ship lift in China and ranks second globally after Belgium’s Stryben Lock. It represents the first time that a 2x500-ton wet-run full-balanced wire rope hoisting vertical ship lift has been constructed at a hydropower and water conservancy hub. The project showcases the company's technical expertise and innovation capabilities. Academician Pan Jiayu from both the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering praised the Shuikou Ship Lift for its numerous innovations, high-quality construction, and excellent performance metrics. He emphasized that the project not only demonstrates China's advanced technological level but also highlights the country's strong organizational and management capabilities in large-scale infrastructure projects. Since its commissioning, the ship lift has operated smoothly, meeting or exceeding all design specifications. The fastest time for a vessel to pass through the dam is just 27 minutes, with an average of 38.2 minutes. This efficient system has brought substantial social and economic benefits, transforming the river into a vital transportation corridor. It has become a "fast track" for regional development, significantly improving navigation efficiency and supporting local economic growth.
