In the construction of the King Salman Global Maritime Industrial Complex, a shipyard under construction in Ras Al-Khair, Saudi Arabia, a powerful Trinity equipment fleet of 77 units has been deployed. Become the largest shipyard in the world.

The complex covers an area of 4.96 square kilometers, has multiple dry docks and at least 15 independent docks, and consists of four main fields of operation, including shipbuilding, ship repair, oil rig construction and oil rig support. It is expected that this will create more than 80,000 jobs and promote the growth of Saudi Arabia's gross domestic product (GDP) by 17 billion U.S. dollars. According to a statement from Sany, the facility was built under a US$3 billion contract signed between Saudi Arabia and China Power Construction Corporation in November 2017. After the project started, the contractor introduced a fleet of Sany machines, including crawling cranes and rough terrain cranes.

In late March 2021, during the pandemic, this batch of SANY equipment was constructed at full speed and completed the construction of the temporary section wall of No. 2 dock ahead of schedule. This is a milestone in the construction progress. Heat, drought and sandstorms are some of the challenges faced by Sany's construction and service team in the project, it added.
