The product categories of diesel engine repair parts are complete, and the brands of anchor chains, propellers, marine pumps and other products have a certain international influence. China’s first 10,000 TEU ultra-large container ship, 300,000-ton ultra-large oil tanker, 400,000-ton ultra-large ore ship, 75,500-ton ice-enhanced Panamanian bulk carrier successfully produced by Chinese shipping companies, and the world’s first press The 156,000-ton Suez-type crude oil vessels manufactured under the common structural specification standard all have a very high market share in the global market.

According to recent statistics from Jiangsu, a large shipbuilding province, there are a total of 465 shipbuilding enterprises above designated size in the province, including 225 marine supporting enterprises, which have initially established a complete shipbuilding industry system including research and development, design, shipbuilding, ship repair, supporting, and ship dismantling. Although the scale of the shipbuilding industry is one of the "three-thirds of the world", the core technology reserves are small, the design and research capabilities are weak, 70% of the core components and key supporting equipment need to be imported, and the development of supporting industries is relatively lagging.

In Jiangsu, the situation across the country will not be much better. For a long time, "shell building" has been considered a true portrayal of China's shipbuilding industry. How to face difficulties and win breakthroughs?

Speeding up technological innovation is the core point. In Jiangsu, the shipbuilding industry has established 3 engineering centers and 34 provincial-level enterprise technology centers (R&D institutions), and initially formed a technological innovation system integrating R&D, test evaluation, achievement transformation and industrialization. Shipbuilding companies have also established a full range of industry-university-research partnerships with well-known domestic universities and research institutes such as Shanghai Jiaotong University and Jiangsu University of Science and Technology to carry out joint research on common technologies, key technologies, and cutting-edge technologies.
