To build a first-class shipbuilding and offshore equipment industrial base

On August 2, with the shipment of the two newly completed modules, the Canadian LNG project undertaken by CNOOC Qingdao has completed the successful delivery of 12 modules, and the overall progress has exceeded 90%, and it is further away from full delivery within the year. This has also laid a more solid foundation for the upgrading of Qingdao's Marine equipment industry chain.

The Marine equipment industry chain is one of the 24 industrial chains that Qingdao focuses on, and it is an important foundation and support for the revitalization and development of the Marine economy of Qingdao's real economy. Aiming at the industry trend of accelerating the transformation of China's ships and Marine engineering equipment to high-end, deep water, green, intelligent and other directions, Qingdao actively plans the layout and solves the high-end development path of the industrial chain: Through leading the industry to accelerate the coordinated development, consolidate the market competitiveness of existing products, while making efforts to develop high-end ship products and new Marine engineering equipment, to create a first-class Marine and Marine engineering equipment industry base.

Seize the opportunity, break the high end

Marine equipment, as a "major power tool" at sea, is an important direction for the transformation and upgrading of China's manufacturing industry. Especially in recent years, the complex and changeable global economic situation and the rapid development of a new round of scientific and technological revolution have pushed China's Marine equipment industry to the threshold of accelerated change.

On the one hand, the pattern of global trade and industrial division of labor has been profoundly adjusted, and the tripartite competition between Japan and South Korea in the field of shipbuilding and Marine engineering equipment has become obvious. Europe and the United States have mastered the core technologies of research and development, design and key supporting equipment, and the risk of "stuck neck" of the industrial chain has risen, and the security problems of the supply chain have become prominent. On the other hand, the International Maritime Organization's new safety and environmental protection standards and new norms continue to be launched, the trend of low-carbon energy transformation is obvious, and the pace of product replacement is accelerating. The recovery of the global economy, the recovery of the shipping market, the growth of new ship orders, and the strong demand for container ships, liquefied natural gas vessels and floating production, storage and unloading units have brought new opportunities for the development of the industry.

In 2021, the "14th Five-Year Plan" issued by the State clearly proposes to promote the innovation and development of the shipbuilding and Marine engineering equipment industry, accelerate the layout in the green and intelligent field, consolidate the competitiveness of the whole industry chain in the shipbuilding field, and support research in the frontier fields of science and technology such as deep sea and polar exploration.

After the release of the national top-level plan, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Fujian and other Marine provinces have followed up the layout of the plan. As a large coastal province, Shandong also issued the "14th Five-Year Plan" for the development of the shipbuilding and Marine engineering equipment industry in March 2022, which clearly focused on five major equipment such as characteristic high-end ship types, Marine energy equipment, new Marine engineering equipment, Marine intelligent equipment, and Marine and Marine engineering supporting equipment, and fully promoted the high-quality development of the province's shipbuilding and Marine engineering equipment industry. 

The industry pattern is being reshaped, the policy level is making efforts, and the Marine equipment industry in Qingdao has ushered in an unprecedented opportunity to further expand and upgrade.

Marine equipment has always been an important jigsaw puzzle in Qingdao's manufacturing landscape. In Haixi Bay, where the industry is most concentrated, leading equipment enterprises such as CSSC Qingdao Beihai Shipbuilding, CNOOC Qingdao Offshore Engineering, petrochina Qingdao Offshore Engineering, as well as research and development and supporting equipment enterprises such as China Shipbuilding Corporation Offshore Equipment Research Institute, China Chuanchai, Haixi Heavy Machinery, Haixi Heavy Industry, Haixi Electric, etc., have formed a focus on ship repair and Marine engineering equipment manufacturing. Marine industry cluster with ship supporting and technology research and development. Not long ago, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced the results of the development quality evaluation of the national new industrialization industrial demonstration base in 2021, and Haixi Bay Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering Equipment Base was awarded the highest five-star rating for the second consecutive year.
