In 2023, the three major Shanghai shipbuilding companies under China State Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. have ordered more than 210 ships.

Create new achievements, the first domestically produced large cruise ship was named and delivered. On November 4, the first domestic large-scale cruise ship "Aida·Modu" was named and delivered at Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding. After eight years of scientific research and five years of design and construction, the "Aida·Modu" has achieved a major breakthrough in my country's cruise ship development from scratch, especially in building a modern cruise ship that is independent, controllable, safe, reliable, and internationally competitive. The industrial system has promoted the high-quality development of my country's cruise industry, led the shipbuilding industry to comprehensively promote new industrialization, and has taken a solid step in continuously enhancing core competitiveness and core functions.

The naming and delivery of "Aida·Modu" marks that China has once again successfully won the "Crown Pearl" of the world's shipbuilding industry. Shanghai has become the only ship in the world that can build aircraft carriers at the same time. , large LNG carriers, and large cruise ships. Currently, the large cruise ship No. 2 is under construction and is scheduled to be docked for final assembly in April next year.

Presenting new highlights, the construction of large-scale LNG carriers has been comprehensively improved. Since the beginning of this year, Hudong-Zhonghua and Jiangnan Shipbuilding, under the overall management of China Shipbuilding, have continued to improve the supply of key materials for large-scale LNG carriers and the construction of supporting supply chains, continuously strengthened management improvement, technological innovation and special engineering capacity building, and made every effort to promote the upgrade project .

Among them, a 174,000 cubic meter large LNG carrier completed and delivered by Hudong-Zhonghua set a new record in the dock mooring test in just 5 months and completed the "two-in-one conventional and gas" operation in 5.5 days. "Sea trial, the overall construction period is 17.5 months, the cargo tank Invar steel welding tightness test was conducted 4 times with zero leaks, and a series of new historical records, and set a new record for Chinese shipbuilding in delivering 6 LNG carriers throughout the year. Jiangnan Shipbuilding innovated construction methods, fully promoted the production node of the first ship of 175,000 cubic meters of large LNG carrier, and completed the barge launch of the first ship's cargo tank. At present, Shanghai has formed a large-scale LNG carrier construction trend for Hudong Zhonghua and Jiangnan Shipbuilding.

A new breakthrough has been achieved, and the proportion of mid- to high-end ship types has increased significantly. Among the 58 commercial ships completed and delivered by the three major shipbuilding companies this year, the proportion of mid-to-high-end ship types exceeded 90% for the first time. The product structure was further optimized and high-quality development results were achieved.Significantly. These include the world's largest dual-fuel powered fourth-generation 93,000 cubic meter ultra-large liquefied gas carrier built by Jiangnan Shipbuilding, a 98,000 cubic meter ultra-large ethane carrier, etc., and the world's latest generation of green, environmentally friendly, efficient and energy-saving 13,000 TEU large-scale vessels built by Hudong-Zhonghua A number of high-end ship types, including container ships, the world's largest 24,000TEU ultra-large containers, the world's original Fast4Ward general-purpose offshore floating production and storage vessel built by Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding, and 190,000-ton dual-fuel bulk carriers, were delivered on schedule with high quality.

It is worth mentioning that the LNG carrier built by Hudong-Zhonghua achieved the new goal of delivering one vessel in 2 months, and Jiangnan Shipbuilding delivered 9 VLGCs throughout the year, with an average of 1.3 months One ship was delivered. From mid-May to mid-November, a total of 12 7,000TEU medium-sized container ships built by Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding were delivered, with an average of 2 ships per month. The three major shipping companies in Shanghai have fully opened up a new situation of rhythmic and batch delivery of branded ships.

Expanding new advantages, business orders are fully blooming. Since the beginning of this year, Shanghai's three major shipbuilding companies have joined forces with the CSSC Trading and Research Institute, a subsidiary of China State Shipbuilding Corporation, to proactively respond to the new situation, proactively meet new shipowners, proactively promote new ship types, and achieve excellent results.

The world's latest generation of "Changheng Series" dual-fuel power propulsion 174,000 cubic meters large LNG carriers, 175,000 cubic meters large LNG carriers, 10,800 parking spaces ultra-large car carriers, global A number of high-end ship orders, including the largest upgraded version of 23,000TEU dual-fuel powered container ships and 15,000TEU methanol dual-fuel powered large container ships, have been successively acquired by Shanghai's three major shipbuilding companies. At the same time, a number of new ship types have also been awarded in-principle recognition certificates by international classification societies, such as the world's first and the world's largest 24,000TEU-class nuclear-powered container ships, the world's largest 271,000 cubic meter LNG carriers, and the largest 271,000-cubic-meter LNG carrier in the world. The 40,000 cubic meter liquid hydrogen carrier, as well as the 16,000TEU ammonia-powered large container ship, 88,000 cubic meter liquid ammonia carrier, etc., demonstrate the strong R&D and design capabilities of Shanghai shipbuilding companies and further enhance the three major shipbuilding companies’ competitiveness in the international shipping market. competitiveness.
