Company Introduction

Dalian Kingmile Marine Technology Co., Ltd., formerly known as Dalian Kingmile Anti-Corrosion Technology Co., Ltd., was established in 2013. It is a nationally recognized “Little Giant” enterprise specializing in the specialized, refined, distinctive, and innovative fields of health and safety management for ships and offshore engineering, as well as a national high-tech enterprise.

The company has established deep expertise in the shipbuilding and offshore engineering sectors, with a strong focus on corrosion protection and structural safety. Leveraging intelligent measurement and control technologies and digitalization, it drives technological innovation and product development to deliver tailored, systematic health and safety management solutions for steel structures in offshore platforms, offshore wind farms, large vessels, subsea pipelines, and port terminals. These solutions are designed to ensure structural integrity, reduce operation and maintenance costs, and support China’s national strategy of becoming a maritime power.

The company has independently developed a tensioned impressed-current cathodic protection and monitoring system (hereinafter referred to as ICCP) and a digital-twin–based structural health management system (hereinafter referred to as HMS), and provides end-to-end, customized services covering system design, supply, installation, and operation and maintenance. Notably, the ICCP was successfully deployed on an offshore platform in 2017 as China’s first-of-its-kind equipment, effectively addressing the critical bottleneck in corrosion protection and service-life extension for China’s offshore structures; it has been certified by an expert panel led by two academicians as being at an internationally leading level. In March 2023, the HMS was successfully applied for the first time to the “Haiji No. 1” platform, marking a global first and earning the country’s inaugural certificate of compliance for a fixed-platform digital-twin system issued by the China Classification Society. In September 2024, Asia’s deepest-water jacket platform, “Haiji No. 2,” successfully implemented the company’s two core solutions—ICCP and HMS—drawing extensive industry attention and multiple rounds of coverage from CCTV. To date, the company’s products have been widely deployed across China’s four major marine regions, with successful installations on nearly one hundred jacket platforms, accommodating operating water depths of up to 324.5 meters; the longest-running in-service project has maintained stable operation for eight years.

The company has established comprehensive industry–university–research collaboration partnerships with Dalian University of Technology and Northeast Petroleum University. Through joint research initiatives and integrated resource pooling, the parties have jointly established talent-development bases to enhance collaborative innovation capabilities. In areas such as scientific research, technology transfer, and personnel training, the company and the universities share resources and have co-founded the Joint Laboratory for Corrosion Protection of Marine and Offshore Engineering Equipment. The company also participates in the construction of the Liaoning Yellow Sea Laboratory, led by Dalian University of Technology, engaging in all-round technological collaboration and platform sharing, and jointly completing numerous research projects. Furthermore, the company has entered into an agreement with Dalian University of Technology to co-establish a Joint Research and Development Center for Marine Science and Technology, thereby deepening industry–university–research collaborative innovation and actively exploring a “large-scale, coordinated” research-and-development model. The two parties will establish a resource-sharing mechanism, mutually open access to research instruments and equipment, build a deeply integrated industry–university–research joint problem-solving system, and achieve complementary strengths and win-win cooperation. In addition, the company has set up an award program at Dalian University of Technology to recognize outstanding students and support science-and-innovation competitions, thus contributing to the university’s pursuit of excellence and inspiring students to be enterprising, innovative, and committed to serving society.

The company has successively been recognized as a National High-Tech Enterprise, a Demonstration Project for the First (Set) of Key Technological Equipment in Dalian’s Priority Manufacturing Sectors, a Second-Class Dalian Science and Technology Invention Award recipient, a First-Class Dalian Patent Invention Award recipient, a Liaoning Province Young Eagle Enterprise, a National Intellectual Property Advantage Enterprise, a Liaoning Province Gazelle Enterprise, a Liaoning Province Specialized, Refined, Distinctive, and Innovative SME, and a National Specialized, Refined, Distinctive, and Innovative “Little Giant” Enterprise, among other honors.

The company possesses independent and proprietary intellectual property rights, having filed a total of 125 IP applications to date, with 101 already granted. These include 28 invention patents, 33 utility model patents, 3 international invention patents, 25 software copyrights, and 12 trademarks. The company’s IP portfolio covers all core technologies, establishing an effective mechanism for safeguarding innovation.
