CMD quickly out of the blocks
CSSC-MES Diesel Co. Ltd. (CMD), the newly established engine manufacturer, has filled its order books in record time with orders for a striking 61 large-bore, low-speed diesel engines. With the first engine due for delivery by the end of October 2007, this places CMD an impressive fifth on the list of MAN Diesel's 17 two-stroke licensees in terms of orders.
As the first engine producer operating in China, CMD will produce 98-cm bore engines, initially manufacturing eight MAN B&W 8K98MC engines. The engines are bound for Jiangnan shipyard for use aboard ships operated by COSCO, the Chinese, state-owned shipping company. The CMD order comprises an additional, extensive series of 80- and 90-cm bore engines destined for large containerships and VLCCs.
"I am very impressed by CMD and the fantastic order book they have already managed to compile, even before their production facility has been fully built", says Ole Grøne, Senior Vice President of MAN Diesel's Two-stroke division.
CMD is a joint venture between investors from Chinese CSSC and HHM, and Mitsui, the Japanese ship and engine builder.
The China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC) is a giant, state-sponsored, industrial conglomerate. The mainstay of China's shipbuilding industry, CSSC boasts a wide spectrum of products, ranging from conventional oil tankers and bulk carriers to specialised vessels. In its short history, CSSC has already exported an impressive number of ships globally. Its objective is to establish itself as the world's biggest shipbuilding group by 2015, in the process increasing its shipbuilding capability from a current 4 million dwt to 14 million dwt.
Founded in Shanghai in 1958, Hudong Heavy Machinery (HHM) is an independent division of CSSC, and is characterised by its high productivity and strong technical expertise in the development and manufacture of medium- and low-speed diesel engines. HHM is China's largest manufacturer of marine diesel-engines and exports its products worldwide. It has been a MAN Diesel licensee since 1980.
Mitsui's contribution is based on its long tradition of producing MAN B&W engines, where it is renowned for its high build-quality as well as its experience within volume production – qualities which will be put to good use in the new plant. Mitsui has held a MAN Diesel license since 1926 and, by 2005, had built a staggering total of 50 million bhp in large diesel engines.

----------------------------------
the shape of submarine sail is a ideal Identifying Characteristics for 039A and 039B SSKs..
1. 039A early batchs appeared before 2010
2. 039A late batchs appeared after 2010
3. majorly improved varient was given a new codename-- 039B appeared in 2013, the next varient 039C also has surfaced slowly, but it would take some time to show itself ..
the above one is still a 039A SSK, although it is a newly built one..

6 subs will be ordered by the end of the year.
Yes we do! We don't waste money in ultra long delayed projects and we are known for our efficiency.

last month, one of china's Defence magazines published one image of this new varient of 039 serial submarine...so this new class--039B SSK (PLAN's second model of AIP conventional submarine with Stirling engine) was officially released.
some 'old' pix could be posted here now...
in Dec 2013...the vessel was launched
for a Submarine , the completeness before the launch is normally 'higher' than other kinds of vessels. so just after 5 months, the sub was transfered to a port by a tug and began the sea trail later..
039B berthed in some Navy port...
then ,the sea trail began...anechoic tile is apparent
