Shanghai Engineering and Shipbuilding Corporation
The company was founded in 1880 as a boiler smithy "Xu Lei & Zhong Man". After a change of the partners and with the conversion to a corporation starting from 1890 the company grew steadily. 1907 the company was renamed to "Shanghai Ironworks Corporation". The production in the machine factory and foundry included transmissions, steam engines, steam boilers and pumps. Until 1920, other metal companies were taken over in Shanghai. In 1922, the company acquired an area to build a shipyard. Inland waterway vessels and small seagoing vessels were built there, resulting in a good cooperation with the other plants of the company. In this course, the renaming into "Shanghai Engineering and Shipbuilding Corporation (SESC)" takes place. The construction program currently consists mainly of fishing vessels, small passenger ships, inland water vessels of all kinds and coasters.
Currently active shipyards include:
- Shanghai Dock and Engineering Company
- Shanghai Dockyards Ltd
(The SESC does not have infrastructure for the construction of warships per the rules of the simulation; its output is covered as an element of the civil economy)
