Jiang Yin Pan Union Marine Engineering Co., Ltd is established in Jiangyin, a Jiangsu Province port city on the south bank of the lower Yangtze that hosts one of China's largest concentrations of lifesaving and lifeboat manufacturers as well as numerous deep-water bulk and chemical terminals. The firm specialises in periodical testing of life-saving appliances and fire-fighting equipment carried on merchant ships, with on-board service teams attending vessels along the Yangtze and at coastal anchorages between Shanghai and Nantong. The lifesaving scope covers lifeboat and rescue boat annual and five-yearly servicing, davit and launching system load testing, liferaft inflation and pressure testing, renewal of immersion suits and lifejackets and overhaul of associated release gear and on-load hooks. Fire-safety work includes portable extinguisher recharge, recharging and overhaul of fixed CO2 foam and water-spray installations, fire main and hydrant pressure testing and maintenance of EEBD and SCBA breathing apparatus used during enclosed-space drills. Additional disciplines cover GMDSS radio equipment service, AIS annual performance verification, lifting-appliance and gear surveys, pressure vessel inspection on engine-room auxiliary vessels, non-destructive testing for hull and structural components and underwater inspection by qualified diver-technicians for in-water surveys carried out in lieu of dry-docking. Pan Union holds service-supplier recognition by ABS, Lloyd's Register, RINA, Bureau Veritas and DNV and is approved by the Bahamas Maritime Authority, allowing reports issued by the firm to support class periodical, intermediate and special surveys and SOLAS flag-state inspections on commercial tonnage trading through the East China Sea, the Yangtze River corridor and the wider Asia-Pacific region.
