Announced by the China Shipbuilding Industry Association on January 16
In 2021
Three major indicators of shipbuilding
The continent continues to be the first in the world
The "14th Five-Year Plan" has been realized

On this newly released report card
Shipbuilding completions, new orders, handheld orders
Chinese shipbuilding enterprise
They account for about 50% of the world total
Continue to be the world's first
thereinto
China State Shipbuilding Corporation, the largest shipbuilding enterprise in mainland China
Three major shipbuilding indicators for 2021
For the first time, it surpassed Korea's Hyundai Heavy Industries in an all-round way
To become the world's largest shipbuilding group
Achieved the completion of 206 ships
20.2% of the global market share
The contract amount of newly received orders was 130.15 billion yuan
Set the latest record since 2008
China Shipbuilding Industry Association
Secretary-General Li Yanqing said
"This first is hard to come by
The gold content is very high
Because we have a new order this time
Calculated in modified gross tons
It is already close to 50% of the proportion
Achieved the opening of the '14th Five-Year Plan'"
Early 1980s
China's shipbuilding industry
It is a critical time of fate
May 1980
Dalian Shipyard undertook
By the world ship king Bao Yugang family
The construction contract of the Great Wall of Investment
Dalian shipyard in the 1980s
Contract negotiations begin technically
Technical Specification Only
There are three thick books
In addition to the main engine, auxiliary aircraft, cabin, kitchen
Generators, sewage treatment systems
Communication equipment, cranes, etc
Even meticulously includes pipe ties and cables
Anchor chains, escalators, crew beds, etc
Even the wall lamp on the bed, the shoe cabinet under the bed, etc
All must have technical descriptions
In the technical specification
The performance criteria for the wheel were also proposed
The coating should reach the Swedish SA2.5 level
The construction process adopts the Japanese JSQS standard
The management system adopts Japan's JIS and so on
More than 20 international norms and standards
This scene appears in front of you
It was overwhelming for our representatives to participate in the negotiations
It's hard to deal with for a while
What's even harder is that we don't have the information in our hands
For a time, the negotiations were in difficulty
Progress has been slow
When Bao Yugang's younger brother Bao Yuxing learned of this situation
Offer to appoint his technical advisor
Responsible for guiding technical negotiations
Introduce the relevant information
Finished talking about the "Technical Specification"
Next, we talked about delivery time, compensation for breach of contract, etc
May 15
Bao Yuxing, chairman of Liancheng Shipping Company
Liu Qing, deputy director of the Sixth Machine Department
Chief Engineer of Dalian Shipyard Gui Salary
The construction contract for the Great Wall was officially signed
The contract provided for delivery in November 1981
Offer is valid for 1 month
The price is $12.18 million
The contract is finally settled
In order to deliver the ship on time
The minister of the Sixth Machine Department, Chai Shufan, searched for it one after another
Wang Rongsheng, then director of the Production Bureau of the Sixth Machine Department
Talked three times
Ask him in detail about the specific work on shipbuilding
And designated him to be the chief of the group
Be sure to put all your energy into it
All thrown into this thing
Construction of the Great Wall
It's all about starting from scratch
Previously, continental-built ships were designed to be standard
Most of them were inherited from the Soviet Union
Or according to Chinese standards
With The English Lloyd's Register Standard
It's two completely different things
And the Great Wall
Built in full compliance with international norms and standards
So
From the concept of people, to the design, standardization, management
Technology, equipment, operation, construction, etc
Everything starts from scratch
The Great Wall under construction
Design work is a key part of ship building
Responsible for the design of the Great Wall
It was the most experienced Shanghai 708 institute at that time
They designed the "Yuanwang" space survey ship
and "Xiangyanghong 10" research vessel
He has won the Special Prize of National Science and Technology Progress
They designed salvage lifeboats
Won the first prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award
It's gathered here
Many well-known ship design masters in China
The "Great Wall" 27,000-ton ocean bulk carrier
We are interested in the rapid development of shipping
and new norms and standards in the field of shipbuilding
Almost nothing is known
Suddenly
Ask the designer
All adopt new norms and standards
It's a bit difficult
With all the effort
4 months later
They came up with the whole design
In such a short period
Make all the data drawings readily available
For the development and design of a new type of ship
Not only is there no precedent in China
Even the technologically advanced shipbuilding powers
It is also very rare
In those stressful days
All the people in the house are mobilized
Check the information, find the norms
Through relatives and friends of foreign countries
Do whatever it takes to find information
After collecting the information
Let the English be good comrades
Translate materials all night long
Available to designers
That's it
Technicians are still picking up lights here for night battles
And thousands of miles away from the Dalian Shipyard
Action has been intense
Quality is life
According to the provisions of the contract
The shipyard must deliver the vessel within 18 months
otherwise
Every extra 1 day
It will be fined $4500
150 days overdue
Shipowners can abandon the ship
All economic losses shall be compensated by the seller
Time is of the essence
Shipyards must race against the clock
Late at night
The lights in the technical department's cartography room are still on
Workers in the workshop who make segments
Welding light in the hand
Still flickering
Faced with the first ship built in accordance with international norms
The construction method is naturally different from the past
Whether from structural design, equipment installation
Even the examination of every part
It must be strictly in accordance with the British Lloyd's Register
Specifications and standards are carried out
The specification is unfamiliar
High quality requirements
The delivery period is short
The whole plant staff brainstormed and carefully studied
More than 380 questions were asked in light of the new norms
Specific responses are developed for each problem
Implement it for everyone
To ensure delivery of the vessel in accordance with the term of the contract
Detailed safety production technologies have been prepared by the Planning Section
Get ready to go into the schedule
For a smooth delivery of the ship
The shipowner hired a British expert
His name was Ellen
He is a ship inspector fully commissioned by the shipowner Bao Yuxing
Because the inspection specifications are different from before
Despite the craftsmen
Be more careful than ever
Ellen was still asked to rework
In view of this
The relevant parties want to hire experts to provide technical guidance on the spot
Available for an inquiry
For $300,000
After research, it was decided to lead and technical personnel in the workshop
And the workers formed a research team
Technical tests are carried out day and night
After hundreds of experiments
Finally mastered superb cutting technology skills
Other than that
In the past, we had our concept of hull paint
It's completely different from now
in the past
Just dip the brush into the paint
Whether up or down
As long as the whole piece of steel plate is painted
But according to international standards
Paint thickened no
It doesn't work if it's thinned
And
Rainy, cloudy, foggy days can not be brushed
This can upset the workers
Demanding and discerning painters
Staring at the construction site every day
Holding a paint thickness measuring instrument in his hand
From time to time, measure on the painted bulkhead
The workers could not come sloppily
With the progress of construction and rigorous inspection
Only then did the workers understand what international standards were
This criterion is every nuance
Quality must be emphasized
It can't be sloppy and almost the same
Quality is the life of a ship
It is also the life of an ocean-going ship!
"It was perfect, I didn't expect it"
After more than 300 days and nights of busyness
The Great Wall is about to be assembled on the ship's platform
Ellen was finally going to make a final survey of the ship
Just after the first time
The length of the vessel shown on the steel tape measure is 179 meters
This means an error in the length of the ship
Only 2 mm
And the error of several other project indicators
Almost zero
This made Ellen feel a little incredible
This is the first time that a ship was built in China according to the British Lloyd's register
And the technical certificate of the workers
It was also just issued earlier
The whole ship has 122 segments
After lofting, numbering, cutting
Assembly, welding and other processes
Errors are entirely possible
But
Everything in front of you
Had to let this British surveyor
Heartfelt admiration
The Great Wall was launched
September 14, 1981
The "Great Wall" is in the spotlight
Slowly dive into the water
January of the following year
The Great Wall crosses the Pacific, Indian and Atlantic Oceans
Successfully passed the panama canal known as the world
Great Lakes Region, Suez Canal
and the Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea
It has been moored in the United States, Japan, Australia, Egypt and other countries
After nearly 1 year of sea trials
The Great Wall withstood
Countless major tests
Shipowner Bao Yuxing said happily
"I really didn't expect the quality to be so good
Totally world class! ”
Not only marks the Chinese shipbuilding industry
A new era has entered
It has also succeeded in attracting a large number of foreign shipowners
subsequently
Hong Kong Cheung Kong Industrial Company, Global Shipping Company
HSBC (Group) Company
Italian cargo ship shipping company and other foreign companies
Shipbuilding contracts have been signed with the mainland
From 1980 to 1982
A total of 77 export ships were contracted on the mainland
Achieved the goal of entering the international market
thereafter
The mainland shipbuilding industry has taken the initiative to participate in foreign competition
Undertake a large number of foreign ships construction
It quickly became the main force in the mainland's export earnings
From the "Great Wall" to the present
Continental ships have been exported
More than 150 countries and regions
The total annual export volume reaches 10 billion US dollars

China's foreign trade scale exceeded 6 trillion US dollars for the first time
The increase in foreign trade reached 1.4 trillion US dollars
Export increase in 2021
More than the sum of the increments of the last 9 years
Behind the data
China has something to build
Powerful can be made
A tool that assists the world in imports and exports – ships
Most of them are also made in China
China, became
Navigator in a wave of global uncertainty
Also for the "giant ship" composed of countries around the world
Beacons are provided
From "leading China" to "configuring the world"
now
China's shipbuilding industry can design and build
Complies with any classification society specification in the world
Meet international common technical standards and safety requirements
Airworthy in any navigation zone in the world
All kinds of modern ships
Not only bulk carriers and oil tankers have been realized
Autonomous mass construction of major ship types such as container ships
Also in ships, liquefied natural gas (LNG) ships
All kinds of marine engineering equipment, manned deep submersibles
Historical breakthroughs have been made in the fields of non-marine engineering
Realized in several areas of ship science and technology
From the runner to the parallel
Even the shift to a leader
"Xuelong 2" polar scientific research ship
Antarctica, a giant ship, clad in Chinese red, raised the ice-breaking pillar of the bow of the ship, plowed a waterway and slowly sailed. This is the Chinese "Xuelong 2"! On November 23, 2021, the second batch of 101 members of The 38th Chinese Antarctic Scientific Expedition set off from Shanghai on the "Xuelong 2" polar scientific research vessel and headed for Antarctica. Since its delivery in July 2019, this polar research icebreaker, which was built independently by the mainland for the first time, has undergone many major examinations and has become a "divine weapon" for us to explore the polar regions Chinese.
