The expert panel then conducted a comprehensive assessment through on-site inspections, reports, document reviews, and Q&A sessions, evaluating the Company across nine aspects, including general requirements, construction technical capabilities, technological innovation, product quality, and personnel qualifications. After thorough discussions, the panel unanimously concluded that CIMC SOE has achieved remarkable results in production and operations over the past three years. The Company demonstrated well-organized production, safety, and quality management systems, with all production conditions meeting the requirements of the Basic Requirements and Evaluation Methods for Ship Production Enterprises (CB/T 3000-2019) for Grade I, Class I steel ship manufacturers.
