The development status of China's shipping industry in 2023, the shipping industry has been in a new cycle of recovery

I. Basic overview of the industry

Step 1 Define

boats and ships is a general term for all kinds of ships. A ship is a means of transportation that can sail or berth in the water area for transportation or operation, and has different technical performance, equipment and structure types according to different use requirements.

A ship is a man-made vehicle operating mainly in geographical waters. In addition, civilian ships are generally called ships, military ships are called ships, and small ships are called boats or boats, which are collectively called ships or boats. The interior mainly consists of the housing space, support structure and drainage structure, with the use of external or internal energy propulsion system. The appearance is generally conducive to overcoming the fluid resistance of the flow linear envelope, materials with the progress of science and technology constantly updated, early for wood, bamboo, hemp and other natural materials, modern is mostly steel and aluminum, glass fiber, acrylic and various composite materials.

2. Development history

The modern shipbuilding industry began with the Jiangnan Manufacturing General Administration, which was established by the Qing government in 1865, and was affected by political factors and international environment until 2000, when the new century began, it returned to the throne of the world's largest shipbuilding country. At present, China's shipbuilding industry has entered a period of structural adjustment, and has gradually developed to the direction of intelligence, digitization and information.

Ii. Development of industry-related policies and regulations

1. Imo's new developments on carbon reduction

In 2022, the 78th and 79th sessions of MEPC discussed the revision of the preliminary strategy for greenhouse gas emission reduction in the maritime industry, and the final revision opinions have not yet been formed, but from the relevant proposals, IMO is likely to increase the carbon emission reduction requirements for ships. Some of the proposals propose that the IMO increase its existing carbon reduction targets for 2030 and 2050, and increase the carbon reduction requirements for 2040, ultimately achieving carbon neutrality in the shipping industry by 2050. According to IMO's next work plan, the 80th session of MEPC in July 2023 will issue a revised greenhouse gas emission reduction strategy for the Marine industry, which will have an important impact on the carbon emission reduction strategy of shipping companies, new ship ordering, and existing ship refit, as the strategy is the overall program of carbon emission reduction for the global shipping industry.

2. Changes in industrial policies related to the domestic shipping industry

In 2022, the CPC Central Committee, The State Council and relevant ministries and commissions issued a series of policies on development planning and green development. Shipbuilding industry is an important national defense and economic pillar industry in China, the state and relevant local governments have also listed the development of shipbuilding industry as a key development area in the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, and put forward specific planning measures, pointing out the direction for the high-quality development of shipbuilding industry in the "14th Five-Year Plan" period.

In terms of development planning, by 2022, The relevant departments of the state have successively promulgated the "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan" Development Plan for water transport, the "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan" Development Plan for Modern Comprehensive transportation System, the "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan" scientific and technological innovation Plan for transportation, the work Plan for the implementation of major transportation projects under the "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan", and the Implementation Opinions on Accelerating the development of cruise and yacht equipment and Industry The policy focuses on the transformation and upgrading needs of China's shipbuilding industry, comprehensively promotes the high-end, intelligent, and digital development of shipbuilding industry, improves the manufacturing capacity and quality level of major technical equipment, and steadily improves the influence of Chinese brands.

In terms of green development, 2022, The state has successively issued policy documents such as the "14th Five-Year Plan" Comprehensive Work Plan for Energy Conservation and Emission Reduction, the Implementation Plan for Accelerating the Comprehensive Utilization of Industrial Resources, the "14th Five-Year Plan" Renewable Energy Development Plan, the Implementation Plan for Pegging Carbon in the Industrial Sector, the "14th Five-Year Plan" Modern Energy System Plan, and the Implementation Opinions on Accelerating the Green and Intelligent Development of Inland waterway Vessels. It puts forward higher requirements for the clean, green and low-carbon development of China's shipbuilding industry, and also brings new opportunities for the development of China's shipbuilding industry. The policy requirements of ship clean energy alternative application, ship life cycle resource utilization, ship construction energy saving and emission reduction will promote the renewal demand of traditional fuel-powered ships. At the same time, the innovation and development of a number of advanced green manufacturing technologies can significantly reduce production energy consumption, accelerate the intelligent and green transformation of the Marine industry, and contribute to the strength of the Marine industry for the implementation of the "double carbon" action.
