The construction of infrastructure and public service facilities in Sansha city, in China’s southernmost province of Hainan, has made steady progress over the past three months, the city government said on Friday.

The design for a 5,000-ton supply vessel has been completed. When it is built, it will enlarge the city government’s fleet, which already has fishery management and maritime surveillance ships.

A wastewater processing plant and a garbage disposal facility are also under construction, and seven more public projects will soon begin, the city government said in a statement.

The city of Sansha was established on July 24, making it the newest city in China.
