Second License Agreement To Build B&W Diesels Approved By China For the second time in only a few months, the authorities of the People's Republic of China have approved a license agree- ment between a Chinese diesel engine builder and B&W Diesel A/S of Copenhagen. The new agreement grants to China Cor- poration of Shipbuilding Industry the license to build the engines in B&W's latest two-stroke line. CCSI is an import / export branch of the Sixth Ministry of Machine Building, which is re- sponsible for China's largest ship- yards and engine factories. Pro- duction is planned at several fa- cilities, but in the initial phase will be concentrated at the Hu- Dong Shipyard in Shanghai. With some 9,000 employees, Hu Dong is a well-established shipyard al- ready comprising a modern plant for the production of Chinese- designed diesel engines. The engine line covered by this latest agreement consists of the fuel-saving KVL45GFCA, L55GF- CA, K/L67GFCA, K/L80GFCA, and K/L90GFCA types—all slow- speed, two-stroke engines primar- ily for marine propulsion but also applicable to land-based electric power generation. Earlier this year the Chinese authorities had approved a license agreement between Shanghai Shipyard and B&W Diesel that grants to Shanghai Shipyard and its associated engine works, Zhen Jiang Marine Diesel, the right to manufacture B&W Diesel's medi- um-speed engines of the types T20, T/V23, S/U28, and other en- gine types that may be designed later within the same horsepower range. Shanghai Shipyard belongs to the Ministry of Communications and has about 10,000 employees. The actual production of the B&W engines will take place at Zhen Jiang Marine Diesel in the city of Zhen Jiang on the Yangtze River about 300 kilometers (186.4 miles) from Shanghai. The fac- tory is still under construction and will comprise, when com- pleted, a total workshop area of about 25,000 square meters (269,- 000 square feet) and will have some 700 employees. The engines to be produced un- der this first license agreement will be used both for electric pow- er generation in large vessels and as propulsion engines in small vessels. Conclusion of these two license agreements is seen as a result of the intimate cooperation between the People's Republic of China and B&W Diesel A/S, and of B&W's long-standing business re- lations with China, which were intensified two years ago when the cooperation between Shanghai Shipyard and B&W was initiated.
