Great countries build ships without fear of rough seas

In the coming period, the competitive pattern of the global shipbuilding industry will be deeply adjusted, and the main force of the world shipbuilding industry will still be China, Japan and South Korea, and more mainly reflected in the field of high-tech ships and offshore engineering equipment. The European shipbuilding industry will further withdraw from the ship assembly and construction market, but in terms of design, supporting, maritime rule-making, etc., especially in the core design and key supporting fields of Marine engineering equipment, it still has advantages. Korea has proposed to turn the Marine engineering equipment manufacturing industry into a second shipbuilding industry. Singapore is committed to maintaining its competitive edge in offshore equipment. In the future, the competition between the major construction countries in the field of deepwater offshore equipment products will become more intense.

In the new industrial competition environment, the key to determining the success or failure of the competition is no longer the scale of facilities, labor costs and other factors, but technology, management and other soft power and shipbuilding, supporting the whole industry chain coordination, scientific and technological innovation ability to contribute more prominent competitiveness. Changes in competitive factors have directly led to the weakening of the original comparative advantages of China's shipbuilding industry, especially the increase in the cost of various factors such as labor and land, the RMB exchange rate is a two-way fluctuation trend, the traditional advantages of low-cost manufacturing are disappearing, and the focus of industrial development has shifted from the pursuit of speed to the pursuit of quality and efficiency. High-tech ships and Marine engineering equipment are at the high end of the value chain of the shipbuilding industry, and are the focus of the future development of China's shipbuilding industry.

The new scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation characterized by the deep integration of information technology and manufacturing industry are emerging, and the breakthrough and cross-integration of multi-field technical groups are driving profound changes in the production mode of manufacturing industry, and the digitalization, networking and intelligence of manufacturing industry have become an important trend of future technological change. The manufacturing mode has accelerated the transformation to digitalization, networking and intelligence, and flexible manufacturing and intelligent manufacturing have increasingly become an important direction for the development of the world's advanced manufacturing industry. Ship manufacturing is also developing in the direction of intelligent design, intelligent products, refined management and information integration, and the world's shipbuilding powers have put forward the goal of building smart shipyards. At the same time, the international maritime safety and environmental protection technical rules are becoming stricter, and the requirements for ship energy conservation and environmental protection safety technologies such as ship emissions, hull biological pollution, and safety risk prevention continue to improve, and the pace of technological upgrading of ships and supporting products will be further accelerated.

Ideas and key points

Since the beginning of the new century, China's Marine engineering equipment and shipbuilding industry has made great progress: Since 2010, China's shipbuilding three indicators have remained the world's first for five consecutive years; In 2014, the number and total amount of new orders for offshore oil and gas engineering equipment in China ranked first in the world; Certain progress has been made in Marine renewable resources development equipment, seawater desalination and comprehensive utilization, ocean observation, Marine biological development and other equipment.

In 2015, the "Made in China 2025" clearly stated that the field of ocean engineering equipment and high-tech ships will vigorously develop deep-sea exploration, resource development and utilization, offshore operation support equipment and its key systems and special equipment. Promote the development and engineering of deep-sea space stations and large floating structures. The ability to comprehensively test, test and appraise Marine engineering equipment will be formed, and the level of Marine development and utilization will be improved. We will break through the design and construction technology of luxury cruise ships, comprehensively enhance the international competitiveness of high-tech ships such as liquefied natural gas, and master the integrated, intelligent and modular design and construction technology of key supporting equipment.

In the next 10 years, China's shipbuilding industry should closely focus on the strategy of maritime power and the grand goal of building a world shipbuilding power, give full play to the role of market mechanisms, comply with the new trend of world shipbuilding competition and shipbuilding technology development, strengthen innovation drive, and take structural adjustment, transformation and upgrading as the main line. The main direction is to make Marine engineering equipment and high-tech ship products and their supporting equipment independent and branded, and to promote digital, networked and intelligent manufacturing as a breakthrough, and constantly improve the level, quality and efficiency of industrial development. Strive to become the world's leading country in Marine engineering equipment and high-tech ships by 2025, and realize the qualitative leap from large to strong shipbuilding industry.
