Construction has started on Wartsilas joint venture genset factory in China. The Wartsila Qiyao Diesel Company Ltd (Shanghai) will initially manufacture Wartsila Auxpac W20 diesel gensets which will be sold through Wartsilas global sales network. The new facility is jointly owned by Wartsila and the Shanghai Marine Diesel Engine Research Institute, which is a subsidiary of the China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation. Production is due to begin next summer.
It will carry out fisheries inspection and enforcement work previously done by the Sea Fisheries Inspectorate and will also be responsible for administering fishing licensing and quota regimes, the provision of grants and advice to the fishing sector, collating and analysing statistical data on UK fisheries, and providing some marine conservation services.
