Offshore fabrication yard for subsea and topside modules
Qingdao McDermott Wuchuan is a joint venture between McDermott and China State Shipbuilding Corporation operating a 24/7 fabrication facility for offshore structures. The tech stack—AutoCAD, PDMS, STAAD.Pro, Ansys, Navisworks—reflects heavy CAD/simulation workload typical of engineering-design-heavy fabrication yards. Active adoption of Power BI alongside persistent pain points around material availability, vendor reliability, and construction scheduling suggests the facility is building real-time visibility into production bottlenecks rather than solving them at the supply-chain root.
QMW fabricates topsides, modules, and subsea structures for offshore energy projects, operating as a joint venture between the McDermott group and China State Shipbuilding Corporation. The facility runs continuous operations with a fully enclosed module assembly shop designed for predictable on-time delivery. The engineering-dominant workforce (26 of 27 active roles) spans mid to senior-level personnel, focused on design reviews, 3D modeling, weight control, and yard planning. Active projects center on large process module construction, jacket detailed design, and area planning, supported by CAD and structural analysis tools.
A joint venture between McDermott and China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC) founded in 2008, operating a 24/7 fabrication yard for offshore topsides, modules, and subsea structures in Qingdao, China.
