From the shenzhen Customs was informed that vessels in Guangdong Province in January this year, the value of exports in nearly three years, a new high, but the financial crisis on the lagged effect of shipbuilding industry is still cause for concern. According to statistics, in January 2010, Guangdong exported ships worth 260 million U.S. dollars, a substantial increase of 81.8% year on year, the highest since 2008, a new high.
According to report, at the national series of economic promotion measures and the “Ship of industrial restructuring and revitalization plan,” the guiding role, china’s shipbuilding industry to maintain a more stable development momentum, the promotion of export of ships in Guangdong Province to grow substantially. But the shipping industry as a construction of a long cycle and amount of money demand, single-piece international small-batch production of special industrial, and automotive, electrical and mechanical industries is different from the financial crisis of its obvious lag effect.
Current shipbuilding industry good economic indicators and export of ships, Guangdong Province, the better posture, 2,3 years ago, largely a reflection of operating conditions, the financial crisis impact on the shipbuilding industry is far from bottoming out. In 2009, China has 65% of the shipbuilding enterprises have not received new ship orders received shipbuilding orders for the new year 26 million dwt, down 55%, handheld shipbuilding orders 188.17 million dwt, down 8%, post-export situation remains is not optimistic.
At the same time, according to industry analysts, China’s shipbuilding industry is still facing structural overcapacity, high-tech, high value-added ships prominent problems such as insufficient production capacity, China’s current shipbuilding capacity has more than 6000 million dwt, but most of the conventional bulk carrier, oil tanker capacity, while the high-tech and high value-added production capacity of less than the ship, accounting for less than 10% of the world market, is a structural overcapacity.
At present, China’s shipbuilding industry holding orders, bulk carriers of up to 65% of the proportion of the international bulk carrier market, the huge fluctuations in the shipbuilding industry in China will bring about greater risk. In addition, in recent years, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) have been and are being developed and implemented a series of implementing energy saving, emission reduction, safety, environmental protection and quality requirements of the international shipbuilding new rules, new standards, but many companies in China and ships are still adapting or does not comply with the requirements and standards, if not strengthen the research and development efforts in the next few years are likely to face out of the world shipping market risks.
In this regard, the Shenzhen Customs suggested that vigorous efforts to promote shipbuilding industry structure adjustment and industrial upgrading, promote technology innovation and progress and improving the production of the proportion of high-tech ships to enhance the industry’s overall competitiveness, while strengthening the new IMO standards in advocacy, training and response measures, research, strengthen the new standard for shipbuilding policy guidance, efforts to improve our country in the discourse of norm-setting power to actively respond to changes in the external standard.
