Flash that change in the international market situation, the moment should be how to develop the domestic shipbuilding industry to improve competitiveness in international markets?

New shipbuilding market sprung

Ship economic providers Intermodal latest report: the first half of this year, the new shipbuilding market is very active, and in the second-hand ship market has taken a number of potential buyers wait and see strategy.

Intermodal ship sale and purchase broker Panos Makrinos said that many people believe that prices are still down space ship is expected to be lower than the current price of 10% to 15%, but he believes that despite the months before the ship prices have risen, but For now, until this year, boat price rose this trend will not repeat itself, especially in the bulk market.

Previously, scrap market in the whole ship trading market occupies an important position. The first half of this year, sold to India for dismantling of ships has decreased over last year, the second half also did not reverse this trend. Although there have been previous forecast that this year will reach a record-breaking volume, but the reality is quite different with the prediction. As steel demand slowing, the Indian rupee falling, the market is not active in the first half of scrap vessels, which really disappointing.

But despite the poor market performance scrap vessels, but this year the new shipbuilding market was particularly active. Shipyard difficult to survive in 2012, most significantly reduce newbuilding shipyards choose prices, ability to obtain financing in order to attract buyers. New ship to lower prices, coupled with new energy efficient design and other factors, making more and more owners tend to order custom-made new vessels.

Insiders analyzed that starting next year, is expected to sell on the market will be less and less a ship dismantling, while the opposite shift deliveries of new vessels has improved.

Competitive international market

New shipbuilding market still holds many lessons warming trend continued in the first half, orders continued to grow. Face orders rebounded to strengthen competition, countries have begun to implement new measures to deal with the fierce competition in the market. In the national competition in China and South Korea's competition is more intense. Korea brewing price increases to increase revenue, while China government to force the introduction of new upgrade policy.

The data from the first half of this year, the South Korean shipbuilding companies first new orders in July 216, a total of 20 million dwt, accounting for 35.5% of global market share Chinese were given a 27.8 million dwt of new orders, accounting global market share of 47% share of the global market share, the share of the global market share of the high side. However, from the amount of orders, our country slightly behind South Korea. In the first half, South Korea 94 shipbuilding enterprises received a total of $ 18.9 billion of new ship orders, and our 483 shipbuilding enterprises received only $ 10.5 billion of new ship orders.

Faced with fierce competition, China and South Korea in their respective country to seek a guaranteed yield. Since the two countries are rivals, and the current boat price also appeared a glimmer of stabilizing trend. South Korea has been brewing for some shipbuilding enterprises to improve ship price to avoid price war with China, hoping to ensure profitability. China's shipbuilding industry is targeted government promulgated the " accelerate the implementation of structural adjustment programs to promote the transformation and upgrading," to ensure market share in the first premise, accelerate the promotion of corporate restructuring and upgrading, South Korea compete for the same market, to lay the foundation of high value-added ships.

According to industry analysts, the South Korean shipbuilding enterprises to build high-end ship-based, and orders in hand full, thereby increasing boat price emboldened than enough, if we raise the ship, especially the price of high value-added ships, to a certain extent, reduce and Chinese boats enterprises in the field of low-priced boat price war losses. For Chinese shipping enterprises, it will be a part of the orders to China in order to meet their immediate needs, but the long-term development of the shipbuilding industry point of view, the introduction of an embodiment according to the state to accelerate the adjustment transformation and upgrading, to build a strong physique and South Korea's shipbuilding industry is in The maximum number of areas to compete weight.

Promote the transformation and upgrading of the shipping industry

Faced with the current competitive shipping market, especially in the face to the fierce competition with South Korea, the State Council recently issued for the shipbuilding industry introduced the " shipbuilding industry to accelerate the implementation of structural adjustment programs to promote the transformation and upgrading (2013-2015)." In the " Implementation Plan" put forward to solve the contradiction between the shipbuilding industry overcapacity, accelerate structural adjustment, promote the transformation and upgrading, maintaining sustained and healthy development of policies and measures.

" Implementation Plan" introduced, for the moment of great significance. Due to the international financial crisis and the deep impact of the international shipping market downturn, a serious shortage of new shipbuilding orders, new vessels continue to lower transaction prices, overcapacity intensified conflicts, development of China's shipbuilding industry is facing unprecedented challenges.

From the world shipbuilding industry development trend, difficult world economic recovery, the global shipbuilding overcapacity overcapacity contradictions and conflicts exist, the next few years, the market demand will continue to slump ship Meanwhile, the international shipping and shipbuilding new codes, conventions, new Standard intensive introduction demand structure to accelerate the ship to upgrade to high-end, shipbuilding countries to increase policy support and market development efforts, the world's shipbuilding industry has entered a new round of depth adjustment period, around the technology, products, market competition has become increasingly comprehensive intense.

From the development of China's shipbuilding industry situation, China's shipbuilding industry ship exports a high proportion of large fluctuations in the international market, the international financial crisis, orders on hand continued to decline, the industry generally underemployment, enterprise production and management difficulties, continued downward pressure on industrial development increased accumulation of many years of extensive development of innovation is not strong, high-end products is weak, supporting the development lag, industry concentration is not high structural problems gradually prominent.

" Implementation Plan" The introduction of the new government is co-ordinating steady growth, adjusting structure, promoting reform, and vigorously promote economic restructuring and upgrading another major move. And the " implementation plan" will focus on the current long-term, in order to accelerate the transformation of the main line of development of shipbuilding industry in order to improve the quality and efficiency as the center, to play the main role of the enterprise market, strengthen the innovation-driven, requiring industry to improve international competitiveness, shipbuilding industry from large to strong changes.

Meanwhile, in the new round of competition, China's shipbuilding industry is still in an important period of development promising. As long as confidence, seize opportunities, take the initiative to adjust the depth of integration into the world's largest shipbuilding industry trends, comparative advantage, to further promote structural adjustment, efforts to improve product mix, improve technological structure, optimize the organizational structure, adjust the layout of the structure, to resolve conflicts overcapacity , speed up industrial restructuring and upgrading, our power will be able to become a shipbuilding, maritime strategy for the implementation of the power savings and to create conditions in the international market and improve market competitiveness.
