The development history of the former site of the Machinery Repair Factory of the Xingang Engineering Bureau of Japan
1
Started to build a "machinery factory"
After the "Seven Seven" Incident, the Japanese invaders built a new seaport in Tanggu to plunder the resources of North China. In order to meet the needs of port-building machinery and engineering ship repairs, after surveys, the site was selected on the beach of "Zhacangzi" and began to build a "machinery factory".
2
was officially named
At the beginning of 1939, Japan shipped a small amount of simple equipment such as casting, forging, machines, clamps, etc., from a small domestic factory to Tanggu, and installed it on the selected site, named "Beijing Xingang Temporary Construction Affairs Bureau Machinery Factory" , Under the "North Branch New Port Temporary Construction Affairs Bureau". In the initial stage of preparation, the factory building was built with wooden boards and reed mats on the beach. Afterwards, buildings such as brick-wood and steel-framed workshops, warehouses, and office buildings were gradually built. The factory area reached 20,000 square meters and more than 100 employees.

Construction of the dock
In April 1944, the Beizhixingang Temporary Construction Bureau was renamed "North China Transportation Co., Ltd. Xingang Port Bureau", and the machinery factory was under the jurisdiction of the Bureau’s "Machinery Division".
Due to the need to repair large ships, the factory began to build a 3000-ton dry dock. When Japan was defeated and surrendered, only the bottom of the dock was built.
5
was paralyzed
After the surrender of Japan in 1945, the machinery factory was taken over by the special commissioner's office of the Pingjin District of the Ministry of Transportation of the Kuomintang government. Due to the chaotic management, it was paralyzed.
6
was formally reorganized
In August 1946, the National Government reorganized the Xingang Harbor Bureau into the "Tanggu Xingang Engineering Bureau", and the machinery factory was subordinated to the Bureau's Maintenance Office. In order to cope with the port construction project, a hull factory and power plant were added. The hull factory is responsible for ship repairs and construction of small wooden ships.

Technological innovation
In 1952, the construction of a self-designed 45-ton crane vessel was started, and electric welding and welding boilers were used in the construction, which was the first in the domestic shipbuilding industry.
11
The shipyard was renamed
In February 1953, the shipyard was renamed "Xingang Ship Repair and Building Factory", under the direct leadership of the Maritime Administration of the Ministry of Communications, and separated from the Xingang Engineering Bureau. The number of employees is 1,235. After that, The factory began to repair coastal freighters and passenger and freight ships, and manufactured crane ships, iron barges, icebreakers and other inland vessels. In the same year, the dry dock was put into production, and a tower crane was built beside the dock, which expanded the scope of ship repair and was able to repair 3,000-ton ships. In the following year, in order to rush to repair 14 barges, an 800-ton boat platoon was built temporarily.
12
Directly in charge of the Ministry of Transport
In October 1955, the Xingang Ship Repair and Building Plant was changed to the leadership of the Shipyard Management Bureau of the Ministry of Transport. The factory's task was to repair sea vessels and build 500-ton and 700-ton freighters in batches, and at the same time began to build power ships. Z2z

Enterprise decentralization
In March 1958, the Xingang Ship Repair and Build Factory was placed under the leadership of the Maritime Administration of the Ministry of Communications, and the factory still focused on ship repair and shipbuilding as a supplement. In August, the enterprise was transferred to Tianjin, under the leadership of Tianjin Mechanical and Electrical Industry Bureau. In September, a steelmaking workshop with an annual output of 60,000 tons was completed. A 5,000-ton slipway, hull workshop and ship-repairing dock were also built, creating conditions for the construction of ships above 5,000-dwt. The scale of

was expanded.
On January 2, 1962, the shipyard was placed under the direct leadership of the Ministry of Communications, and the number of employees reached 2,209. By 1964, a total of 30 tugboats of various types were built, and 36 water jet boats with 80-120 horsepower were built for inland water transportation. In 1965, the 5000-ton slipway was put into use.
15
has the ability to build 10,000-ton giant ships
On September 28, 1968, the 10,000-ton freighter "Tianjin", which was designed by the shipyard and built on a 5,000-ton berth, was successfully launched. Since then, the shipyard has the ability to build 10,000-ton ships.
16
began construction of slipway
In 1972, began to build 15,000-ton slipway (later transformed, it is now a slipway capable of building ships under 40,000 tons). The following year, the 25,000-ton dock was put into production.
17
self-made crane
On August 25, 1975, designed with the assistance of Tsinghua University, a 200-ton gantry crane made by the shipyard was built. This is China's first large-scale crane with a cross-ship platform.

An important link
On December 10, 2007, China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation Tianjin Lingang Shipbuilding and Repairing Base laid the foundation. A modern shipbuilding base covering an area of 3.65 million square meters, with an annual shipbuilding capacity of 3 million tons and a ship repairing capacity of 220 ships, capable of building 5,000-ton marine engineering, ultra-large port cranes, and continental land-based engineering machinery installations. The rise of Lingang Industrial Zone has formed three pillar industries: shipbuilding, ship repairing, and non-shipbuilding engineering. It is an important part of the overall layout of China's development of the Bohai Rim shipbuilding industry base group. In November 2017, the overall relocation of Tianjin Xingang Shipbuilding Industry Co., Ltd. was completed.
In 2014, the site of the Machinery Repair Factory of the Xingang Engineering Bureau of Japan was announced as an immovable cultural relic in the Binhai New Area.
Protect the status quo. The
factory area left behind the official office built during the Japanese occupation, as well as the second dock and the second shipbuilding platform built later. Among them, the official room is located in the southwest of the factory area. It is a single-storey building group with tile roof and brick walls. It sits west and faces east and is distributed in a "Z" shape. The interior is connected by a "Z" shaped corridor to connect the rooms; The gate faces the river to the south; the No. 2 shipbuilding platform is located in the middle of the factory area, low in the south and high in the north, facing the river in the south. There is a large "door-type" crane on each side, which is the auxiliary equipment of the platform.
