Guangzhou Wenchong Shipyard

Guangzhou Wenchong Shipyard is the Wenchong-side Guangzhou shipyard lineage now folded into CSSC Huangpu Wenchong Shipbuilding, a China State Shipbuilding Corporation yard group. Public maritime and defense sources connect the Wenchong yard with commercial shipbuilding, dredgers, special-purpose official vessels, and large maritime patrol ships, including the 10,000-ton-class Haixun 09.

The Wenchong yard began operation in 1955 as a ship repair facility in Guangzhou's Huangpu district and later added newbuild work for container feeders, multipurpose vessels, bulk carriers, tankers, dredgers, asphalt ships, heavy-lift ships, LPG carriers, and other specialized vessels. Lloyd's Register describes Guangzhou Wenchong Shipyard as a state-owned CSSC yard that became part of the merged CSSC Huangpu Wenchong Shipbuilding organization in 2013.

For defense and public-service catalog context, the important point is the yard's place inside the broader Huangpu Wenchong production network. China Daily and Naval News identify Guangzhou Wenchong or Guangzhou Huangpu Wenchong as the construction source for Haixun 09, a 165-meter, 10,000-ton-class maritime patrol vessel for Guangdong maritime authorities. China Daily also reported that Guangzhou Huangpu Wenchong delivered Zhong Guo Yu Zheng 44002, a 3,000-ton ocean law-enforcement ship for Shenzhen, in 2023.
