Shipyard, situated on the eastern bank of the Huang Pu River in Shanghai, is a comprehensive enterprise specialized in the manufacture of ocean-going vessels as well as marine diesel engines of medium and low speed with full capability in casting, forging and mechanical processing. Two slipways, with one for ships under 40,000 tonnage and another for ships under 70,000 tonnage, and eight berths for ships of 5,000 T dwt have been constructed in the yard. The outfitting quay, some 700 meters in length, is well equipped with about 3,600 kinds of various equipments. The shipyard is noted for its high comprehensive productivity and facile adaptability. H．D．船厂位于上海黄浦江的东岸，是一个综合性企业，尤其是在远洋轮的建造，和船用中低速柴油机的铸造，锻造和机加工方面具有很强的实力。
该船厂建有两个倾斜船台，一个4万吨，另一个7万吨，和八个5千吨水平船台舾装顺岸式码头，有700米长，装备了大约有3600种不同的设备该船厂以其高综合生产能力和灵活的适应能力而著名Up to now, more than 1,200 vessels of different types have been completed, among which were the self-designed 25,000 T ocean-going bulk-cargo carriers that have been serving the ocean-going fleet around the world for years. Starting from 1981, it has accepted orders from foreign customers for bulk-cargo carriers of the class of 36,000 T dwt which were jointly designed with Japan, anchor handling supply vessels for offshore services of joint design with England which took the lead in the world in 1980’s, 62,000 T dwt oil tankers for Chile , 52,000 T dwt oil storage tankers which act as an oil refinery at sea , 2,700 container vessels of the future type in the nineties to the design of which West Germany made her part of contribution, and guided-missile frigates of self-design which have been exported to the Royal Thai navy and the Egyptian navy. 到目前为止，该船厂已建造完成1200条不同类型的船舶。
在这些建造完成的船舶中，有其自行设计的25000吨远洋散装货轮，而且该船已为远洋舰队服役多年从1981年起，他们接到的定单有：与日本联合设计的36000吨远洋散装货轮；与英格兰联合设计的近海作业的锚操纵工作船 (这条船在二十世纪八十年代居于世界领先地位)；为智利建造的62000吨油船；52000吨储油船 (可在海上进行原油加工)；西德方面协助设计的，具有九十年代先进水平的未来型2700箱集装箱船；还有自行设计的已在泰国海军和埃及海军服役的导弹护卫舰H. D. Shipyard has a history of over 40 years in marine diesel engine making with an independent production system. In addition to specified technology and products of its own, the yard has signed license agreements with SEMT of France and B&W Co. of Denmark to make PC2-5 medium-speed diesel engines and B&W low-speed diesel engines, the actual production of which the yard has successfully made a reality. H．D．船厂有一个独立的柴油机生产系统，生产的船用柴油机已有超过四十年的历史。
除了拥有自己的专有技术和产品，还与法国热机协会和丹麦的B&W柴油机公司签约制造PC2-5的中速柴油机，及B&W低速柴油机并已成功的生产出这些产品H. D. Shipyard has a technical force of distinguished engineers coupled with advanced techniques in scientific research. An engineering and technical team of more than 2,000 persons engaged in new technology research and physical-chemical experiments shares the responsibility of the research and design of the vessels and diesel engines. To most the development of shipping and the need of modern management, the shipyard is equipped with general-purpose electronic computers, Large NC drawing instruments and imported image display systems. Computer techniques have been applied and developed effectively in research, design and production. H．D．船厂的技术力量雄厚，拥有在科学研究领域具有从事高新技术研究能力的工程师。
拥有一支超过2000人的技术团队，他们正在进行新技术研究以及理化实验，共同肩负着研究和设计轮船与柴油机的责任为了造船行业的最大发展和适应现代生产管理的需要，船厂装备了通用的电子计算机，大型的数控绘图仪和进口的图象显示系统计算机已广泛的应用于船舶的研究，设计，生产，并得到有效的发展H. D.
