Programme Highlights
To continue to thrive and to improve environmental
performance, our city is exploring the initiative to a) utilise more natural
gas for greener power generation through use of advanced combined cycle gas
turbine units and b) develop an offshore liquified natural gas (LNG) terminal using
LNG carrier equipped with regasification unit (FSRU) to support the increased
natural gas consumption. In parallel, as Hong Kong is strengthening its
logistics role, application of latest technologies in the areas of container
terminal and aviation industry are also essential in coping with future needs.
To get an exposure
to and to gain an insight into the technologies, a technical visit has been
organised to Shanghai for our HK professional engineers. Shanghai has the
reputation of being the leading modern industrial centre in PRC, and is in
possession of manufacturing plants which are capable of demonstrating these
technologies. Included in the visit are tours to the following leading
companies in the PRC:
1) 3rd
June - Hudong Zhonghua Shipbuilding (Group) for apprehending the construction of large LNG carrier
with GTT Mark III membrane containments. The Mark III membrane system is
marketed by GTT, France and is a cryogenic liner directly supported by the
ship’s inner hull. It is composed of a primary metallic membrane positioned on
top of a prefabricated insulation panel including a complete secondary
membrane.
2) 4th
June - Shanghai Electric Group for gaining knowledge on gas turbines design and
manufacturing and the technology development. It has a 40% stake in the Italian
based Ansaldo Energia. The latter, after having acquired former Alstom heavy
duty gas turbine assets from GE, has set to introduce the new generation of advance
H-Class turbine into the rapidly growing Asian Power Market in partnership with
Shanghai Electric.
3) 5th
June - Zhenhua Heavy Industries for understanding the innovative design of the
fully automatic world’s largest container terminal. This was developed for Yang Shan 4th
Phase and the associated management system to ensure safety and efficiency. Included
will be a site visit for an appreciation of the automatic/ semi-automatic
operations of bridge cranes, gantry cranes and automatic guided vehicle.
4) 6th
June morning - Wartsila Corporation China for an introductory session on various
types of LNG regasification units operating under cryogenic conditions and the
design for most efficient regasification operations. A visit to the factory for
producing the latest propulsion system will also be made.
5) 6th
June afternoon - Commercial Aircraft Corporation (COMAC) for gaining an
understanding on the current capability of aviation industry in the PRC, its
future development and perhaps possible areas of cooperation with HK
counterparts. At present, COMAC is developing a complete range of aircraft,
including widebodies, turboprops, business jets, helicopters, seaplanes, and
even zeppelins.
The visit will also include other attractions
for participants to experience the rapid development of Shanghai and nearby
areas.
