China draws the blueprint of strong shipbuilding country

On August 30 to 31st 2007, Mr. Jin Zhuanglong vice minister of COSTIND on the national shipbuilding work meeting clearly put forward that we should speed up our efforts to promote the strategic transformation of shipbuilding industry, and change our development objective from a large to a strong shipbuilding country. Before this, to fully carry out the "medium and long term development program for shipbuilding industry" and "the eleventh five-year program of shipbuilding development", the COSTIND successively issued the "eleventh five-year development program of ship’ s science and technology", the "eleventh five-year development program of marine equipment industry" and the "action plan of fully establishing modern shipbuilding mode (2006-2010)", which all mapped out the blueprint for making a strong shipbuilding country. In the next f ive to ten years, Chinese shipbuilding industry will sprint toward the shipbuilding power, keeping in mind the following objectives.     

The Present Situation and Future Prospect of the World Shipping Industry

Ⅰ. Shipping After entering into the 1990's, the ship-building industry, badly affected by the long recession of the world shipping market, has been growing very slowly, while the competition has been a fierce one. From the shares enjoyed by the major shipping countries in the world, we can see that the first one is Japan which occupied 38%; South Korea came to the second,obtaining 15％; the third is Germany, being 8%. The shipbuilding industry in America is shrinking, owing to the high cost of production. Up to 1993,Japanese ship yards had still been in difficult situation, and many Japanese ship owners would rather order new ships from South Korea because the rising value of Japanese yen made it expensive to build in domestic yards. Nowadays, Japanese shipbuilding industry is exposed to the problem of scarce of labour force. The Korean shipbuilding industry, whose

The overall level of Chinese shipbuilding is lifting up

Recently, Mr. Jin Zhuanglong, Vice Minister of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense (COSTIND) announced to the media that the Basic Requirements and Measures of Evaluation for the Production Conditions of Shipbuilding Enterprises (hereinafter referred to as the Ship- building Enterprise Evaluation Standard) has been formally promulgated and will take effect on October 1 this year. This is the first industrial stan- dards regarding the admission of shipbuilding enterprises in China. The standard shakes off the awkwardness of the Chinese shipbuilding enter- prises having no evaluation standards and drives the shipbuilding enter- prises to walk into a standardization era.     

状态空间的船体平直分段装配的偏差诊断和分析(英文)

Dimensional control is one of the most important challenges in the shipbuilding industry.In order to predict assembly dimensional variation in hull flat block construction,a variation stream model based on state space was presented in this paper which can be further applied to accuracy control in shipbuilding.Part accumulative error,locating error,and welding deformation were taken into consideration in this model,and variation propagation mechanisms and the accumulative rule in the assembly process were analyzed.Then,a model was developed to describe the variation propagation throughout the assembly process.Finally,an example of flat block construction from an actual shipyard was given.The result shows that this method is effective and useful.     

Chinese shipbuilding industry at the turn of strategic transformation

At the end of August 2007, the national shipbuilding industry work meeting was held in Qingdao, Shandong province. The meeting is the first of its kind since the adoption of China's reform and open-door policy. Officials and experts from 17 ministries and bureaus including COSTIND, ministry of finance, commerce, agriculture and communications as well as banking industries and maritime universities took part in this pageant of shipbuilding industry.     

Joint forces to push strategic transformation of shipbuilding industry

The 2007 shipbuilding industry work meeting was sponsored by COSTIND for the first time. With the clarion call for strategic transformation, the meeting is aimed to drive China toward a strong shipbuilding country with full efforts. This clarion call not only inspires people from the shipbuilding industry, but also makes related sectors ready for full support. Recently, our reporter interviewed relevant persons from China Classification Society (CCS), the Import and Export Bank of China, Harbin Engineering University, and deeply felt the surging passion from relevant industries in pushing forward the strategic transformation of Chinese shipbuilding industry.     

Large marine crankshaft offers China a step forward to shipbuilding power

Shipbuilding industry is known as the top of all industries. The world No.1 shipbuilding country has been the long-cherished wish for China. With the continuous increase of economic and technical strengths, China's dream of becoming the world No.1 shipbuilding country seems to come close. However, crank-shaft as the heart of engine which is the heart of large-size ships often makes us in the state of embarrassment. Now, after some twists and turns, in terms of large marine crankshaft, China has broken through the technology barriers set by foreign crankshaft manufacturers and can make our own heart for large-size ships. Though domes-tically produced crankshafts can't meet our demands at the moment, it will give our people more imaginations be-cause Chinese shipbuilding industry has now had the strengths to gallop the world.     

CHINA AIMS AT WORLD'S NO 1 SHIPBUILDER

China is expected to become the world's largest shipbuilder by 2015 after launching shipyard projects in Shanghai and Guangzhou. China now is the world's third largest shipbuilding country, following South Korea and Japan. "The aim is to build 15 million deadweight tons (DWT) of ships at the two shipyards," said Li Zhushi, vice-president of China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC). Li told an international maritime forum

Will More Shipping Enterprises Encounter Loss in Future?

According to the statistics from the Chinese Association of the National Shipbuilding Industry (CANSI), from January to April of this year,main business income of China's medium and large shipbuilding enterprises was 190.1 billion RMB, up 27％compared with the same period of last year; The total profit was 14.2 billion RMB, up 23.8％ compared with the same period of last year. The profit ratio of sales of medium and large enterprises reached 7.5％, 1.3％ higher than the national average level. On the surface, the above statistics indicate that the current economy of China's shipbuilding industry runs smoothly with a relatively good benefit performance. However, if we analyze these statistics with those in the previous years, we will find that the payoff situation of China's shipbuilding enterprises is still worrying.
