"Riding the wind and waves" towards the ocean, the first domestic large-scale cruise ship began its first trial voyage

It is understood that due to the particularity of the structure, the diversity of the system, the complexity of the process, the difficulty of design and construction, and the global nature of the supply chain collaboration, this large cruise ship For a long time only a few European shipyards had a monopoly on its construction.

Building a maritime power is an important part of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics. The report of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China first proposed the strategic task of "building a maritime power". The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China further clearly deployed "accelerating the construction of a maritime power", which shows the urgency and importance of building a maritime power. .

The shipbuilding and marine engineering equipment industry is an important part of the development of the marine economy. With the development of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, and the Internet of Things, shipbuilding and marine engineering The equipment industry is developing in the direction of intelligence, green and unmanned.

Data show that in 2022, my country's international market share of the three indicators of shipbuilding completions, new orders, and orders on hand will remain first in the world. my country's shipbuilding industry's international market share has been 13 consecutive years. Ranked first in the world annually. The development momentum of my country's shipbuilding industry will remain strong in 2023. From January to June 2023, my country's shipbuilding completion volume, new orders, and orders on hand accounted for 49.6%, 72.6%, and 53.2% of the world's total in terms of deadweight tonnage, respectively. Ranked first in the world.

On July 14, the Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering Equipment Industry Chain Integration Development Conference was held in Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province. Xin Guobin, member of the Party Leadership Group and Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, attended the conference and said that ships and marine engineering equipment are high-tech strategic industries, an important foundation for building a modern industrial system, and a strong support for building a manufacturing, maritime, and transportation power. .

The shipbuilding and offshore engineering industry chain is mainly a series of complex processes from raw materials to product application, involving ship design, ship manufacturing, ship operation and ship dismantling and other links.

The raw materials required by the shipbuilding and offshore engineering industry include steel, aluminum, composite materials, etc. These raw materials need to be made through mining, smelting, processing and other processes. Ship design involves ship structure, fluid mechanics, and ship power.Research and design of systems, ship electronic equipment, etc. Ship manufacturing mainly includes the construction of ships and the installation of ship equipment. In the ship manufacturing process, various mechanical equipment, welding equipment, lifting equipment, etc. are required. Ship dismantling involves the cutting, dismantling, and waste disposal of ships. With the gradual implementation of environmental protection policies in recent years, there are higher requirements for the disposal of waste generated during the dismantling process.

In short, there is a close connection between various links in the shipbuilding and offshore engineering industry chain, which requires collaborative cooperation between all links. At the same time, through the application of intelligent sensing, intelligent decision-making and intelligent control technologies, ships and offshore engineering equipment will operate more efficiently, safely and environmentally.
