Where the dredger is used to be a channel that lead to a pump house connected to one of the internal island waterways - that pump house has been demolished and it appears that the berm that separated the excavated land area from the river is n0w being removed too, which will allow the dredger to move in the area that was once land.

These photos also show that a new buildings continue to be constructed - note the open fronted building in the top right of the first photo.

Interesting comparison of the Shanghai JNCX shipyard & Type 003 carrier construction/assembly site: left images were taken on 8. March 2019 ... right one on 8. June 2019.
As expected, they remove the small dam and the pumping station and dig out the new harbor basin.

lol posted at exact same time as @A.Man

No worries, both are good, but this one is bigger.


I know that those two spaces near the "back" of the hull's walls (aka the "left" side of the picture) probably are not for elevators given the height they are sitting at is too low to be for the aircraft carrier hangar, but I must say they look somewhat like they could be for elevators.

Overall, the quality of this image is spectacular as well. I think this is the best colour image we've had of 003 since assembly of the super block began.

Is that one super block or two under the shelter? Wouldn't that be too big to move to another assembly site if that is one integrate piece.
