Aimed at 10,000 ships green electric Hubei introduced 16 measures, Shanghai will bring together Chinese and foreign exchanges

It is understood that Hubei shipbuilding industry occupies an important position in the country, with a complete industrial chain of ship research and development, design, construction, supporting and inspection, and the number of shipbuilding and ocean engineering related research institutes and universities ranks first in the country. In 2021, the output value of Hubei's shipbuilding industry reached 63.1 billion yuan, and the shipbuilding completed volume was 2.837 million deadweight tons, ranking fifth in China and first in inland provinces.

Since 2022, Hubei has issued policy documents such as the Three-year Action Plan for the Breakthrough Development of High-end Equipment Industry in Hubei Province, formulated a list of key tasks for the green intelligent ship industry, and strives to have more than 100 green intelligent ships in the province by 2023, and the output value of the province's shipbuilding industry will reach 100 billion yuan by 2025.

Focusing on the field of green and intelligent ships, Hubei Province will build green and intelligent ship construction bases in Wuhan, Yichang, Huanggang and other places, and implement demonstration actions to electrify the Yangtze River, Han River and Qingjiang River. Relying on leading units such as China State Shipbuilding Group 712 Institute, Wuhan Institute of Technology, Wuchang Shipbuilding, Changhang Group, Hubei Port Group and various innovation platforms, Focus on the development of pure electric cruise yachts, container electric transport vessels, LNG-powered transport vessels, help the shipbuilding industry to reach the sea, and accelerate the construction of the national green intelligent ship application pilot zone.

In June 2022, Hubei Green Intelligent Ship Industry Alliance was established by 712 China State Shipbuilding Group and 45 related design institutes, universities, shipyards and other units. In October of the same year, the Hubei Green intelligent ship Manufacturing Innovation Center, led by the 712 Institute, was identified by the Hubei Provincial Department of Economy and Information Technology as being included in the provincial manufacturing innovation center cultivation plan, and is carrying out relevant work on the establishment of the standard, and strive to build a national innovation center.

According to reports, the development of green intelligent ships in Hubei started earlier, the technical reserve is in the forefront of the country, the province actively build a demonstration system to promote the green and intelligent development of inland ships, forming the overall pattern of "1+3+N" pilot demonstration work, that is, a provincial general program, Wuhan, Yichang, Shiyan three municipal sub-programs, and a series of support measures.

Among them, Wuhan has incorporated the development of green intelligent ships into the key content of the high-end equipment industry and made every effort to promote the quality and upgrading of the industry. In 2022, Wuhan shipbuilding industry achieved revenue of 43 billion yuan, an increase of 11.2%. In the next step, Wuhan will focus on building a green and intelligent inland waterway shipping center, accelerate industrial cultivation, strengthen scientific and technological innovation, strengthen demonstration and promotion, and build a national green intelligent ship research and development, design and construction cluster.

Yichang City proposed to build a national inland green intelligent ship industry demonstration zone and the largest green intelligent ship manufacturing base in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, driving the development of the city's shipping, tourism and related services, and forming a 100-billion-level industrial chain.

Shiyan City will play a leading role in the pilot demonstration of Danjiangkou Reservoir area, and promote the green upgrading of shipping and tourism industries in the reservoir area by rebuilding and building new green intelligent ships and strengthening supporting shore power facilities.

The relevant person in charge of the military-Civilian Integration Office of the Hubei Provincial Party Committee pointed out: "Relying on the multi-dimensional advantages of Wuhan ship industry innovation power cluster, Yichang ship manufacturing system complete, Shiyan Danjiangkou Reservoir area green intelligent ship typical application scenarios, etc., to promote the construction of Yichang Zhijiang and Huanggang Wuxue ship modern manufacturing base, with high-end leadership, digital empowerment, green transformation as the path. Tackle core technologies, expand key industries, improve supporting support, layout future racetracks, and achieve breakthrough development of green intelligent ship industry with extraordinary measures."
