HID Transport Barges Forge a "Mobile Warehouse" for the Cross-Sea Channel.

A sturdy transport barge, its deck piled high with massive components, slowly approaches the construction pier—this is HID Shipyard's self-designed and built 120-ton deck transport barge. As the captain precisely maneuvers the side thrusters to position the barge, the bow ramp smoothly connects to the pier, and an 86-ton precast bridge pier foundation steel caisson is pulled smoothly onto the construction site by a winch—the entire process is completed without cranes, taking only 17 minutes.

This cross-sea channel comprises a total of 83 large pier components, and over 60% of the precast component transportation is being handled by HID transport barges and their sister vessels, which are known as "mobile warehouses" and "express delivery experts" on the construction site.

At the construction project site, the HID brand promotion manager showed reporters a set of data: HID transport barges have participated in 12 large-scale cross-sea channels, port expansions, and offshore wind power projects both domestically and internationally, safely transporting over 3,700 large components with a total volume exceeding 2.8 million tons, and navigating a distance equivalent to circling the equator six times.

“Customers who come to HID often don’t just want a ship, but a ‘time-delivery solution for components’ in a specific sea area and under a specific construction period,” the manager stated. “We assign a six-person technical support team to each project site, living and working alongside the construction team, maintaining daily equipment inspection records, and issuing weekly operational condition adaptation reports. Equipment reliability is the foundation, and close service is the soul of the brand.”

The captain pushes the engine, the bow cuts through the morning light, and the ship sails into the depths of the sea. The orange HID logos printed on both sides of the bow stand out prominently against the gray-blue sea and sky—it carries not only tons of components, but also a solid testament to the self-reliance and strength of the world’s engineering logistics equipment industry.
