The production cycle in the dock is very tight. The construction team has carried out detailed planning for the hoisting of the whole ship, optimized the location of the general group site, improved the utilization rate of the gantry crane, kept one ring section forward every day, and further shortened the hoisting cycle of the main hull. Undocking on schedule under the premise.
