The two industrial park projects of Hengli Group settling in Changxing Island, Dalian have a total investment of approximately 16.5 billion yuan, and after reaching full production, they are expected to add an annual output value of 35 billion yuan. Among them, the Hengli Ship Power System Industrial Park project focuses on core supporting fields such as marine engines, effectively filling the gap in the core power system of the shipbuilding industry in Dalian and even Liaoning Province, promoting the ship and marine engineering equipment industry towards a fully autonomous and controllable industrial chain. The Hengli Polyester New Material Industrial Park project relies on the raw material supply advantages of the Changxing Island petrochemical industrial base, extending downstream to layout high-end polyester and other new material industrial chains, promoting the transformation and upgrading of the petrochemical industry from basic chemicals to high-end fine chemicals. After the completion and production of these two major projects, they will further enhance Liaoning Province's supporting capacity for key core components of ship and marine engineering and the independent innovation supply capacity of high-end new materials, which is of great significance for maintaining national industrial security, accelerating the development of new quality productivity, and building a modern industrial system with Liaoning's distinctive advantages.
