In the future, shipyards will focus on separate, specific ship markets

Ofunao Group offshore floating production and storage vessel

On the 300,000-ton very large crude oil ship (VLCC), Li Jiming, manager of the 300,000-ton tanker project of China Shipbuilding Corporation, introduced to the media, including the Surging news reporters, that the cargo hold of crude oil under the deck can hold 2 million barrels of crude oil when fully loaded, and the value of crude oil is more than 200 million US dollars. The ship is expected to conduct sea trials at the end of August, and it is expected that the ship can be handed over to the owner in September, and the shipbuilding cycle of the ship type is 13 months to 14 months.

Li Jiming told surging news reporters that in terms of orders, there are currently 117 VLCC super large crude oil vessels. The price increase of steel puts great pressure on the cost control of shipbuilding. Since the ship contract is usually signed two or three years ago and the price is fixed, shipyards usually reduce the cost of shipbuilding through some energy-saving measures as the price of raw materials rises.

"Container ships have reached the peak of the market in the past two years, and the big ship group has also begun the transition stage from tanker construction to container ship construction." Li Jiming told Surging news reporters that now the world's major liner companies are investing in the construction of new container ships, so the major domestic shipyards are also slowly transforming the construction of container ships. In addition, on the basis of traditional power, are in the transition to high-tech value-added dual-fuel ships, LNG powered ships have been very common.

In recent years, the Ofunao Group has established the "cloud negotiation, cloud signing, cloud delivery" model, and the production schedule has been comprehensively accelerated, and the overall delivery volume has shown a growing trend. In the first half of 2022, Ofunao Group delivered 10 new civilian vessels / 1.405 million deadweight tons, and new products accounted for 50% of the launched ships, an increase of 67%. A number of new products, such as the 308,000-ton very large crude oil carrier project and floating production, storage and unloading tanker (FPSO-8), were launched smoothly.

Yang Zhizhong, Secretary of the Party Committee and chairman of Daofuan Group, introduced at the media exchange meeting that since 2022, the market demand for Marine industry of civil ships is still strong, and in the first half of the year, Daofuan Group completed 32 ships / 2.933 million tons of Marine products, and the total contract amount exceeded 16 billion yuan, which has completed the annual target ahead of schedule. The orders of each production base are relatively full, and basically received from 2025 to 2026.

Yang Zhizhong also said, "We think that the current level of market activity will continue, by the end of this year or even the first quarter of next year, there is no big problem, of course, the peak has passed, the future is more and more focused on some individual, specific ship market." LNG carriers are still very popular and container ships are still in demand."

Liu Chuan, deputy chief economist and Minister of production management of Big Ship Group, said at the media exchange meeting that the volume of Big Ship Group in the second half of the year will increase by 20% compared with the first half of the year. From the point of view of next year's volume, it is estimated that there will be an increase of about 20% to 30%.

725 Qingdao Shuangrui: Marine hydrogen fuel must be an important development direction in the future

In 725 Qingdao Shuangrui, the paper reporters visited the company's exhibition hall and intelligent equipment workshop, through three-dimensional animation, VR images and other ways to experience the high-tech industry, the company's modern management model and information, digital factory construction.

As a leader in the ship supporting equipment industry, Qingdao Shuangrui's ship ballast water management system is one of the few Marine key equipment with fully independent intellectual property rights in China. The core components of the system electrolytic cell module unit, with independent knowledge and core technology, meet international standards, can completely replace imported products.

Fu Hongtian, general manager of Qingdao Shuangrui, introduced to reporters at the media exchange meeting that Qingdao Shuangrui has received more than 3,000 orders and delivered more than 2,100 ships. Among them, the global market share of medium and large ships accounted for 30%, achieving global market coverage, foreign orders accounted for 80%, and ranked first in the market share and shipment volume of medium and large ships ballast water treatment.

Reporters from the paper visited Qingdao Shuangrui's MES, WMS and intelligent production lines, and learned about the operation of the digital production command system from the aspects of sales service, production and manufacturing, inspection and tracking.

Qingdao Shuangrui has established a resource allocation system with enterprise resource planning (ERP) as the core, and formed an integrated business platform with project management as the core. The person in charge introduced, established the project plan execution platform, and strengthened the control of the whole process from design to product delivery.
