Review and prospect of China shipbuilding industry in 2022

2022 promises to be an extraordinary year. Under the cordial care and care of the Party Central Committee and The State Council, China's shipbuilding industry calmly responds to the challenges brought by the century of change and the century of epidemic, the whole industry works hard, together with the "epidemic, fight high temperature", "ensure the delivery of ships, grab orders", and stabilize the good momentum of healthy development of the industry, in accordance with the overall requirements of "forging long board, making up short board, adjusting structure, and strengthening brands". Overcome difficulties and forge ahead, showing the strong resilience and surging vitality of China's shipbuilding industry. Although the process was full of hardships, the fruitful results made all of us shipbuilders feel gratified and proud.

Time flies. Today is the last working day of 2022. Let's follow the perspective of Xiaobian to review the keywords that affect the development of China's shipbuilding industry.

Steady development - A number of industrial policies have been introduced to support the high-quality development of the shipbuilding industry

In 2022, in order to implement the deployment requirements of the 14th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development of the People's Republic of China and the Outline of 2035 Vision Goals, and accelerate the implementation of major strategies such as making China a maritime power, a transportation power, and a shipbuilding power, relevant state departments and local governments have successively issued relevant planning policy documents to accelerate the high-quality development of the shipbuilding industry.

The shipbuilding industry took the lead in recovering from the epidemic, and the resilience of industrial development continued to be evident

In the second quarter of 2022, due to the impact of the novel coronavirus epidemic in some domestic areas, the security and stability of the industrial chain and supply chain in key shipbuilding gathering areas were seriously impacted. Shipping enterprises in the Yangtze River Delta, mainly in Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, are the most affected, and the production and operation of shipping enterprises in Liaoning and Shandong are also greatly affected. Through questionnaires, the China Shipping Association learned about the outstanding problems caused by the epidemic, such as the shortage of imported goods in the port of Shanghai, the insufficient supply of supporting materials, and the poor flow of personnel. The China Shipping Association has repeatedly reported the relevant situation to the relevant government departments to reflect the difficulties and blocked points. Under the active coordination and solution of government departments at all levels, as of the end of May, a total of more than 700 imported goods from 21 enterprises have been solved, the supply of various supporting materials in 13 enterprises is insufficient and the transportation is not smooth, and 10 enterprises have restrictions on the movement of suppliers, engineers, shipowners and crew. Under the strong guidance and coordination of government departments at all levels, the blocking points and difficulties that hinder the normal production of China's shipbuilding industry enterprises have been basically alleviated, and the production schedule of major shipbuilding bases has been comprehensively accelerated. In June, China's shipbuilding industry took the lead in coming out of the trough, and new orders for ships in June reached 4.76 million deadweight tons, a sharp increase of 107% compared with the previous month. Shipbuilding completed 4.22 million deadweight tons, an increase of 64.2% month-on-month, the best level in a single month in nearly two years. China's shipbuilding industry has overcome the adverse effects and withstood the test, fully reflecting the resilience of industrial development.

Combat high temperature - multi-pronged to ensure smooth production and ensure the health of employees

In the summer of 2022, many places in the Yangtze River Delta issued red warnings for high temperatures, and the temperature in many places broke the 40 ° C mark and remained high for a long time, and the Central Meteorological Observatory issued the first red warning for high temperatures, which is the highest level of high temperature warning. Yangtze River Delta is one of the three bases of China's shipbuilding industry, shipbuilding output accounts for about 70% of China's total, the high temperature to the shipyard production has brought severe tests, the local shipping enterprises actively take measures, through the wrong time to avoid peak operations, increase heat and cooling facilities, increase the issue of heat and cooling items to ensure stable and orderly production, to protect the physical and mental health of workers.

Ship delivery - Shipping enterprises complete the annual ship delivery target task with high quality

In 2022, in the face of a series of difficulties such as the novel coronavirus epidemic and extreme weather, China's shipping enterprises have united as one, overcome difficulties, actively implemented the decision and deployment of the CPC Central Committee and The State Council on coordinating epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, and steadily promoted various work in production and operation on the basis of effectively preventing and controlling the epidemic. Strive to minimize the impact of the epidemic, and make every effort to complete the annual delivery target with high quality.
