Strong ship serving the country -- New China shipbuilding industry events

From 1978 to 1999 is the third stage of the development of new China's shipbuilding industry, this period, into the early stage of reform and opening up, the main task of reform is to innovate the system, consolidate the foundation, in line with international shipbuilding standards, with market breakthroughs to promote the rise of the industry. Through the bold exploration in this period, the shipbuilding infrastructure has been greatly improved, the level of shipbuilding technology has been significantly improved, the export of ship products has achieved zero breakthrough, and China has gradually become a pivotal force in the world shipbuilding industry

The Party Central Committee has put forward a series of important guiding principles, basic policies, development strategies, objectives and strategies for the development of the shipbuilding industry, and the shipbuilding industry has opened the prelude to the transformation of the military to the people and the development of the international market.

First of all, through the reform of the management system to accelerate the enterprise to the market. In 1982, The State Council reorganized the Sixth Ministry of Machinery Industry in charge of the shipbuilding industry into the China State Shipbuilding Industry Corporation, broke the boundaries of departments and regions, and set up a number of regional branch companies, and implemented the three-level management system of the head office, branch companies and grass-roots enterprises. China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSIC) is the first national large-scale industrial company in China, which is an important attempt to reform the economic management system in our country. After the establishment of the ship general Corporation, the ship enterprises began to carry out a comprehensive rectification, through the continuous expansion of management autonomy, change of management mechanism, began to establish the direction of modern enterprise system. In order to solve the problem of inefficiency in shipbuilding, the shipbuilding Corporation began to promote the learning of production design technology in the early 1980s, and began to carry out large-scale transformation of shipbuilding mode in 1995, and the shipbuilding production capacity has been greatly improved. In 1999, China State Shipbuilding Industry Corporation was reorganized into China State Shipbuilding Industry Corporation and China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation, establishing a new system of separating government from enterprise, combining production and research, and promoting competition, which further promoted the rapid development of China's shipbuilding industry.

The second is a new round of shipbuilding infrastructure construction. In the early days of reform and opening up, China's shipbuilding infrastructure was very backward compared with Japan and South Korea, mainly building small boats, such as the completion of ships in 1981, the small boat below 10,000 tons accounted for 58.22% of the completed tonnage of the year, when Japan and South Korea already had the production capacity of 300,000-ton tankers. In this situation, the Chinese shipbuilding industry put forward the slogan of "building a big dock, building a big ship", and carried out vigorous technical transformation and infrastructure construction in the backbone shipyards. In 1995, China ended the history of not being able to build and repair ships of more than 100,000 tons, and entered the ranks of countries that build and dock up super-large ships of 300,000 tons.

Third, large-scale technology introduction. In order to improve the level of shipbuilding technology, since 1978, China's shipbuilding industry began the largest technology introduction since the founding of New China. In the field of Marine supporting equipment, China has purchased nearly 50 world-renowned Marine equipment manufacturing technologies in the form of production licenses, including Marine low and medium speed diesel engines, generator sets, lifting machinery, etc. In terms of design technology, China has introduced foreign advanced ship type design technology in the way of commissioned design and joint design. China has introduced more than 10 types of ship design technology, such as 118,000 tons shuttle tanker, 69,000 tons of chemical product tanker, 2,700 container ships, etc., and the design capacity and level have been greatly improved. World brand ships such as the "China Jiangnan Type" 65,000 ton bulk carrier and the "China Dalian Type" 95,000 ton refined oil tanker have also emerged. In terms of standards, China has carried out a wide range of translation and publication work, and has introduced 48 kinds of shipbuilding standards of seven famous foreign classification societies, nearly 100 copies, more than 20 million words, and more than 5,000 international standards. A large number of national and industrial standards have been revised to bring them closer to international standards.

Fourth, through the export of products to the international market. In May 1980, under the care and support of the Party Central Committee, Dalian Shipyard signed a contract with Bao Yuxing, the brother of Hong Kong shipping king Bao Yugang and chairman of Hong Kong Liancheng Shipping Co., LTD., for the construction of 27,000 tons of "Great Wall" bulk carrier, which is the first ocean ship independently developed and designed by Chinese shipyards in accordance with international norms. In September 1981, the "Great Wall" was completed and launched, and after repeated inspection after delivery, it went through the test of bad sea conditions in the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, and successfully met the requirements of the contract. On January 4, 1982, the "Great Wall" was completed and delivered, marking the official departure of China's shipbuilding industry from the Chinese mainland and becoming the earliest industry in China to enter the international market. Today, the share of China's shipbuilding industry in the international market has grown from small to large, and it has gradually become a pillar industry for the export of mechanical and electrical products, and is the main force for China's export to earn foreign exchange. 90% of the annual shipbuilding output is for export ships, and ship products are exported to more than 150 countries and regions in the world, making outstanding contributions to China's opening up and economic development.
