GF Piping Systems signed the contract with China's famous Shipyard Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipyard (SWS) for the supply of Sanipex MT, Instaflex, ecoFIT and SeaDrain® White pipes and fittings as well as on-site training, installation, quality control and assurance for Cruise Project H1509, the largest luxury cruise ship ever built in China by SWS.
On 28 November 2022, GF Piping Systems and Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipyard (SWS) held the contract signing ceremony with Mr. Yuan Lihui, General Manager of GF Piping Systems China, and Mr. Zhou Qi, Deputy General Manager of Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipyard, to open a new chapter for the cooperation between the two parties.
Since 2019, GF Piping Systems has provided corrosion-free, lightweight, and easy-to-install plastic piping systems for SWS's first newly built large luxury cruise ship. The chosen solutions included Sanipex MT, Instaflex, ecoFIT and SeaDrain® White pipes and fittings. The systems cover most of this new build project's water supply and drainage pipes. GF Piping Systems also supported SWS during the construction process with specialized installation trainings on-site and quality control to ensure high-quality installations for a long service life and maintenance-free operation of the thermoplastic water solutions.
After the cooperation for the first luxury cruise ship, GF Piping Systems has won the trust and recognition of SWS, and will now continue to provide high-quality piping system solutions for Cruise Project H1509, the second large luxury cruise ship of the same class.
