Chinese shipping industry: why of shipbuilding powers toward shipbuilding powers

In zhoushan on July 11, "BBS" navigation, maritime equipment and technology of China, ministry of machinery industry, said an official with the department related to have "twelfth five-year", at the moment, the ministry is to organize the formulation of the shipping industry "twelfth five-year" development plan "(draft) has been completed, is expected in the second half will be released. Combining with the relevant situation, "planning" the head of the in-depth analysis of the shipbuilding industry in the future market, pointed out the direction for future development of China shipbuilding industry.

Among the shipbuilding industry to develop high starting point of the ship

According to the controller introduces, the shipbuilding industry in our country entered the track of rapid development since the new century, shipbuilding completions record continuously, and in 2010 reached 60 million tons, 65.6 million ton, 2005 shipbuilding production is five times. Especially during the period of "11th five-year plan" has made great progress, China's shipbuilding output growth rate as high as 38%, shipbuilding output of the world market share of less than 20%, from 2005 to 43.6% in 2010. Economy and realize the sustained growth in 2010, the ship's industrial enterprises above designated size to complete the sales income is 5.3 times that of 2005. It can be said that China's shipbuilding industry has stood in the new and higher historic starting point.

Where is the driving force for the development of the high speed? The official pointed out that science and technology innovation is the main driving force. According to his introduction, during the period of "11th five-year plan" of our country shipbuilding industry in mainstream ship type, high technology of ship and ocean engineering equipment in a large number of independent innovation achievements, greatly improve the international competitiveness of shipbuilding industry in our country, at present our country already have full range of mainstream ship type independent design ability.

In high technology of ship, our country has large LNG ship roll, passenger ship, wan box container ship hull form independent design ability, and the batch build, independent design of series ship type to the market. In the field of Marine engineering, 30 ton offshore floating production, storage (FPSO) train ship has already built, the realization of successful contract to build the world's most advanced 3000 meters water depth semi-submersible drilling platform, the sixth generation jack-up drilling platform total package ability and built in batches. In Marine auxiliaries, our market share in the world, significant progress was made in Marine equipment self-developed, forming large windlass, offshore crane a batch of independent brands, such as Marine equipment, machinery automation system has achieved localization. Backbone enterprises, meanwhile, shipbuilding efficiency is greatly increased, a typical ship construction cycle is close to the advanced world level, such as the backbone enterprises of 177000 tons of bulk carrier docks cycle within 45 days, port cycles are shortened; 300000 tons of large oil tanker (VLCC combined) terminal cycle shorten 38 days, shipbuilding efficiency is gradually shorten the gap between China and South Korea.

Entering a key challenge facing the market development

The shipping and shipbuilding capacity ability of double surplus is the biggest obstacle of "twelfth five-year" new shipbuilding market." On the analysis of the shipbuilding market situation of the "twelfth five-year" period, it is pointed out in the head.

Next five years, according to experts predict that global average shipbuilding demand around 80 million tons, less than half in the past five years the average annual turnover, even if the world in the next five years new ship demand can achieve an average annual 100 million deadweight tons, but relative to the current global production capacity of nearly 200 million deadweight tons, there are still a large gap, oversupply situation will continue for a long time.

At the same time, China's shipbuilding industry as an important support shipping industry and the development of Marine economy and advanced equipment manufacturing, is entering a critical period of changing from large to strong. New shipbuilding market grim situation, the world science and technology and the further development of economic and social to our country shipbuilding industry also put forward higher and more pressing demands.

At present, the world shipbuilding pattern under the profound reform of science and technology highlights in a battle, the world's leading shipbuilding countries have green technology, information technology as a strategic priority, by improving the technical barriers, to consolidate and maintain its competitive advantage. It is understood that some countries have already started the "low-carbon vessels" as the core of a new ship form optimization work, plan by 4, 5 years based on existing ship emissions goals to reduce 30%. Some countries in strategic planning to bring low-carbon fuels, and by 2015 IT technology, using electric propulsion of a new generation of "green intelligent ship".

At the same time, the new international maritime conventions, new standards, new specifications developed for ship design, construction, operation will also have a profound impact. IMO is developing new ships, for example, the design of energy efficiency index (EEDI), may come into force in 2013. Once enforce EEDI, will improve the design standard and level of ship, the ship machine with more demanding, existing ship design level will face a severe test.

In addition, the market fell to industry is beginning to show the influence of economic benefits, the negative factors influencing the economic benefit are gathered, such as new ship prices, prices fell back to 2004 levels; Shipbuilding is climbing into the channel of the cost, labor cost and raw material prices overall trend; Continued appreciation in the yuan, since the beginning of the year the yuan has appreciated by 2.3% against the dollar. The future in the factors of production and prices under the influence of RMB exchange rate volatility, excessive way depends on the development of production inputs will be unsustainable, must innovation driven development road.

Thus, during the "twelfth five-year", can achieve new breakthrough in the field of energy conservation and environmental protection, can actively cope with the international new rules in time, the change of the new specification, will be the shipping industry to seize the key to the future market.

Pay attention to the innovation drive and stronger do optimal manufacturing of the ship

According to the ministry of industry and the controller introduces, at present our country holding 70% of order is bulk carrier, in order, especially on order value behind South Korea, the first five months of total orders only a quarter of South Korea. In addition, our country independent research and development of Marine equipment and systems integration ability is insufficient, cause obvious inhibition to form a complete set of industry development, the local Marine equipment shipment rate is only 50%, 80% to 90% or more of the China and South Korea localization rate is large.

At present, China's shipbuilding industry comprehensive strength and the capacity for independent innovation of science and technology there is still a large gap, high technology of ship and ocean engineering equipment at the core of the dependence on foreign technology, the design of high-end products to build there are still many blank; The lack of brand competitiveness, the three mainstream ship type market fast reflection ability needs to be improved.

However, relying on China's economic and social development level and the improving of the comprehensive national strength, and Marine economic development of the vast space, China's shipbuilding industry in labor, technology, capital, market and so on comprehensive comparative advantage is still outstanding, so should make full use of all kinds of favorable conditions, actively create new advantages in industry development and international competition.

So what is new advantages, how to create new advantages? The head points out, is to adapt to the domestic and international shipping and Marine economic development of the new change, to keep up with the new trend of world green building development, structure adjustment as the main line in turn way, pay more attention to the innovation drive, pay more attention to technology and brand advantage, pay more attention to the quality, benefit and efficiency, enlarge, ship manufacturing, vigorously promote the ship supporting industry, cultivating Marine engineering equipment manufacturing industry, build rational layout, structure optimization, advanced technology, military and civilian integration, modern industrial system with friendly environment, efforts to achieve the shipbuilding powers to shipbuilding powers.

Specifically, one is to combine international maritime new specification and new standards, to speed up the mainstream ship type, basic good high technology such as ship upgrading, rely on scientific and technological innovation to build brand advantage; 2 it is aimed at industry value chain, increase the intensity of innovation, focus will guide strong whole construction machinery choose several, a significant innovation to promote the competitiveness of the industry which have influence on the whole project, integration and improve the innovation ability; 3 it is to advance to carry out the new type ships, low emissions, such as research and development, vision conceptual ship, employed the leading technology of the whole of the future international competition, promote the development of industry by technical followers gradually to leading change; Fourth, we need to break through the green design and manufacturing, lean shipbuilding, the key techniques such as the construction of energy-efficient manufacturing system, to promote industry intensive development in the direction of the transformation.
