China's shipbuilding industry received orders for the new rank first in the world

"By-turn strong" need to pass three hurdles

Xinhua Shanghai January 27 (Xinhua He Xinrong Jia Yuan Kun) The
international financial crisis and did not stop the world's
shipbuilding center shifting to China trend. Recently, the Ministry of
Public Letter to the latest statistics show that in 2009 the year
China's new shipyards received orders amounted to 26 million
deadweight tons, the first time South Korea's rank in the world.
Meanwhile, the shipbuilding capacity increased by more than 40% of the
world shipping market share further enhanced.

Although the "quantity" to begin the lead, but the domestic market
in the discovery, enhance ancillary equipment localization rate and
high value-added aspects of ship construction 3, China's shipbuilding
industry in comparison with the South Korean counterparts still a gap.
From the "quantitative" to a "qualitative change" from the "big
shipbuilding country" to "shipbuilding power", the domestic shipyards
still true to line.

China Shipbuilding contrarian up to achieve a breakthrough in the amount of

Shipbuilding industry is the globalization of China's earliest
industries. Recall that in early 2009, the financial crisis had led to
the sharp decline in world seaborne trade, shipbuilding began long
"Xundi" trip.

According to the authoritative advisory body Clarkson's
statistics, from November 2008 to May 2009 for 7 months on the world's
new ship orders are less than 100 million tons in May or even "zero
turnover."

Rare grim situation, the Chinese shipyards not be an exception.
Not only new ship market, "frozen", and even hand-held orders are not
security risks. Some western chain of the owner because of tight
money, have demanded that "withdrawals," or "delays in the delivery
boats," there was some panic in the industry.

In this case, the State Council issued a timely manner "ship
industrial restructuring and revitalization plan," clearly the way
through increased financial support to help the domestic shipyards
"guarantee delivery ship, grab orders." In the policy support and the
support of the global economic recovery under the 2009 Domestic Boat
City since the second half gradually "unfrozen." In July, the new
global shipbuilding orders received 6.3 million tons, the chain jumped
more than 200%. Of which China's monopoly of 70% of the share of the
shipyard, in the face of adversity shows a strong competitive edge.

According to the Ministry of Public letter to the latest data,
dated January 2009 -12 National 42.43 million dwt shipbuilding
capacity, up 47%; new ships received orders for 26 million dwt, down
55%; handheld shipbuilding orders 188.17 million dwt compared with the
beginning of handheld orders declined 8%. Under the new orders
received orders and hand-held, China both rank first in the world
beyond South Korea.

Public letter to Chief Engineer in Shanghai, Zhu Hong Ren told
reporters before, according to the evolution of the law of the world's
shipbuilding industry, every major crisis in the industry will
contribute to the pattern of re-shuffle. In the international
financial crisis, some of the advanced shipbuilding countries due to
such factors as the cost of the ship further out of the mainstream
market, while China's shipbuilding industry which has the technology,
capital and labor the comprehensive advantages will become more
prominent, promising to meet the industrial transfer.

To explore the domestic market to improve localization rate ship
with Imperative

Although the impressive performance in the face of adversity, but
the domestic shipyards to face the vulnerability of the financial
crisis is still to an industry wake-up call. Currently, China's
shipbuilding orders in the 70% -80% of the ratios for export, such a
high degree of external dependence for our domestic shipyards hard to
resist the waves of the global economy.

"Foreign bank loans to foreign ship owners, shipyards in China,
shipbuilding, the re-leased to domestic and foreign shipping companies
to transport Chinese goods. So a trip down, foreign investment in each
link in the chain make a profit," China Shipbuilding Industry
Association Zhang Guangqin president told reporters that China has
become the world's most important commodity, one of the importing
country, but the crude oil, iron ore, a large part of these strategic
materials are carriage by foreign shipping companies, this situation
is clearly unreasonable.

On how to strengthen China's fleet, and took the ship to open
domestic markets, the domestic shipbuilding industry, there had been
many discussions. However, in the case of export of wind in its sails,
has been the lack of substantive action. "This year, the domestic auto
industry to rely on domestic market to achieve strong growth for all
to see. Now, is the shipbuilding industry determined to solve this
problem the time." Zhang GQ said.

Development of the domestic market, just as worrying is the lack
of supporting equipment localization rate of the lower vessel. At
present, medium-speed marine diesel engines, deck machinery ship
"offal", the domestic shipyards rely heavily on imports, "so to do so,
we can only become a hull power", industry experts pointed out.

Equipped with industrial development in order to change the boat
backward, in November 2009 when the ship supporting the nation's
largest equipment manufacturers, "China's Heavy Industry" announced
landing A-share market. General Manager of China Shipbuilding Industry
Corporation, China's Heavy Industry India, Chairman Li said that
China's current domestic equipment, the average loading rate is less
than 50%, with Japan and South Korea a big gap compared to 90%.
Although the existence of the domestic shipping industry overcapacity
assembly phenomenon, but the ship supporting development of the
industry are far from adequate.

The construction of high-value ships is "turn by the big strong"
crowning touch

In addition to tap domestic market and the upgrading of its
ancillary equipment localization rate, China's shipbuilding industry
with the largest gap between the world's advanced level, and perhaps
also because the construction of the ship on the high value-added. "If
at this point to achieve a breakthrough in China's shipbuilding
industry will be strengthened by the great finishing touch to"
industry experts, network editor of the International Ship Wang Yang
said.

At present, the domestic shipyards most areas of expertise is no
doubt the demand for larger and low-value bulk carriers. Although the
new South Korean shipyards received orders to become more behind
China, but in marine engineering, LNG ship high-value-added areas of
the ship, still occupied an absolute advantage.

In this regard, "Ship of industrial restructuring and
revitalization plan," stressed that domestic enterprises in 2011 to
make the "ocean engineering equipment market share of 10%." According
to industry insiders, marine engineering and equipment is mainly used
for offshore oil and gas exploration and exploitation, from 2002 to
2007, the global offshore oil and gas of the average total investment
reached 100 billion U.S. dollars, the market capacity is considerable.

At present, including the China Shipbuilding Industry Group, China
Shipbuilding Industry Group, numerous ships, including the layout of
the sea enterprises are actively working the market.

Tan, general manager of China Shipbuilding Group, as Kwan pointed
out that the marine engineering equipment is shipbuilding industry a
new economic growth point, is also a shipbuilding enterprises to
optimize business structure to cope with market risk and the
achievement of science and technology leader in strategic choice. As
early as in 2008, the China Shipbuilding Group, the port in Shanghai's
Pudong New City open construction of large marine engineering
equipment base. Group's Waigaoqiao shipyard, but also has produce 30
ton offshore floating Production Storage and Offloading vessel (FPSO)
capabilities.

In addition, around the country since 2010, frequent gas and
imported liquefied natural gas shortage of rapid growth, but also
stirred up the domestic shipyards for the construction of LNG vessels
(specifically used to transport liquefied natural gas) of interest.

At present, the domestic capacity with the construction of LNG
ships and only in the ship's Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding Group, but
more competitors are after another to follow. After all, for domestic
large-scale shipyard, in addition to the construction of container
ships and bulk carriers, the to the ocean engineering, LNG ships and
other high-end area of expansion is to improve the overall
competitiveness of the inevitable self-direction.
