A batch of power steel angles fabricated by Qingdao Best Steel Structure Co., Ltd. has passed finished product inspection, undergone packing and loading, and set sail from the Port of Qingdao bound for Panama. The products will be applied to local power transmission and transformation projects in Panama. This successful shipment marks continuous breakthroughs in the Company's Latin American business and further consolidates Best's market layout as a supplier of power steel structures across the Caribbean and Central America.
As a key shipping hub linking the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, Panama is a vital partner under the Belt and Road Initiative. The country is pressing ahead with power grid upgrading and transmission line renovation projects. The exported steel angles serve as core components for power transmission towers. In response to Panama's tropical marine climate featuring high temperature, high humidity and salt spray corrosion along coastal areas, the Company adopted customized production standards and mature hot-dip galvanizing anti-corrosion technology to greatly enhance the corrosion resistance of components and guarantee stable long-term outdoor service performance.
During project execution, the technical, production, quality inspection and international trade teams collaborated efficiently. A full-process quality control system was implemented covering drawing conversion, steel cutting, CNC machining, finished product straightening, anti-corrosion treatment, dimensional re-inspection and export packaging. The international trade team made advance arrangements for customs declaration, ocean freight and cargo lashing for cross-border logistics, strictly controlled delivery schedules and completed shipment on time to fulfill delivery commitments. The overseas customer highly recognized the machining precision, anti-corrosion workmanship and efficient project execution services provided by our team.
