The annual report released by the leading companies in China's two major listed shipping companies shows that the net profit fell by more than 98% last year. The international and domestic shipbuilding market is in a deep downturn. The lagging impact of the financial crisis on the shipbuilding industry has been fully manifested. The performance of China's listed shipping companies has generally declined. Shipbuilding completions and hand-held orders have both declined significantly year-on-year. decline.
However, the reporters saw in Zhoushan, Ningbo and Jiangsu provinces in Zhejiang, that the shipping companies are still doing their best, and they have found a glimmer of life in the cracks. Zhoushan City's shipbuilding industry achieved an output value of 69.21 billion yuan, and the three major indicators of shipbuilding completion, new orders, and hand-held orders were all higher than in 2011. In the first two months of this year, orders from ship companies were in full swing. The situation of Jiangsu's shipbuilding industry is also good. The completion volume is on the rise, and the three major indicators of shipbuilding rank first in the country.
Deliver beautiful transcripts in the ups and downs
According to the Zhoushan City Economic and Information Committee, in 2012, Zhoushan City's shipbuilding industry achieved an output value of 69.21 billion yuan, a small increase of 3.9%. The city's shipbuilding completion volume bucked the trend, reaching 8.27 million deadweight tons, an increase of 2.4%. In January 2013, a total of 7,026 export vessels (excluding other floating structures such as inflatable rafts) were opened in Ningbo, a record high in a single month, an increase of 2.1 times over the same period of last year, with a value of US$96.89 million, an increase of 1.8 times.
This growth trend is not only in the Zhoushan and Ningbo regions of Zhejiang. Recently, Jiangsu Province released data on the development of the ship industry from January to February this year, and handed over a beautiful report card. From January to February this year, the shipbuilding completion and new orders of the Jiangsu shipbuilding industry showed growth for the first time since last year. The shipbuilding completion volume was 58 ships, 2.656 million DWT, an increase of 2.9% year-on-year, of which export ships accounted for 85.6% of the total, accounting for 12.8% of the world market share, accounting for 46.7% of the national total. As of the end of February, Jiangsu Province had undertaken a total of 73 new vessels of 1.367 million DWT, an increase of 235.0%. According to the disclosure of the first phase of the short-term financing bills of Jiangsu Hao Group Co., Ltd. in 2013, the order volume of the Group's ship production base has been filled up to 2018.
Behind this promising achievement is the hard work of shipbuilding companies in the ups and downs. The continued downturn in the market has stimulated companies to create a set of “survival skillsâ€.
Undertake foreign ship repair and maintenance
In the Zhoushan shipbuilding industry output value, the ship repair business has made positive contributions. In 2012, Zhoushan City repaired 2,752 ships of various types, achieving an output value of 8.12 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 26.3%. Among them, the value of foreign ship repairs was 3.41 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 22.3%.
The reporter learned from the Zhoushan Shipbuilding Industry Association that this is mainly affected by three factors: First, some shipbuilding enterprises carry out ship repair business and some ship repair enterprises release new capacity; second, the proportion of high value-added repair business has increased, and the inheritance High-end ships such as offshore drilling platforms, luxury cruise ships, and 10,000-ton container ships were repaired. Third, some large-scale ship repairing enterprises began to actively seek cooperation with well-known shipping companies at home and abroad.
After the opening of the temporary port in September last year, Zhoushan Yatai Ship Repair Engineering Co., Ltd. received the first single foreign ship business. In the following five months, the company's dozens of single business, the outer wheel accounted for the majority. The list of Yatai Shipowners covers a number of heavyweights in the industry, such as Taiwan Evergreen, the world's top container ship, Singapore Presidential Ship and Hong Kong Huaguang, Germany's Bieduul, etc...
On the No. 3 berth of Yatai, the Russian luxury passenger ship "George" was docked. "This ship used to run Russian domestic routes. It has been 30 years old. This modification is to adapt to the international route from Russia to Manila." Wu Yixuan, the engineering director, told reporters that for the shipbuilding enterprises in the island city, The conversion business of foreign luxury passenger ships is rare, and this transformation will bring millions of dollars in revenue to the company.
With the substantial increase in the number of scrapped ships, the green shipbreaking industry is also taking advantage of opportunities and taking advantage of the momentum. Zhejiang Hongying Ship Recycling Co., Ltd., the first green environmental protection shipbreaking company in Zhejiang Province, has dismantled 6 ships and 48,000 light tons since the end of production in June 2012. The production value is 120 million yuan. It is expected to be dismantled in 2013. 100,000 light tons or more. The shipbreaking project of Zhoushan Changhong International Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. plans to complete the dismantling task of 600,000 light-ton ships in 2013.
Dislocation competition into special ships
In the "cold winter" of the ship market, competition is inevitable, and the homogenization, low-level, low-price "hand-to-hand combat" will ultimately result in both losses. Under this circumstance, many companies have chosen to compete in dislocation and develop special ship business.
The Chinese boat enterprises have taken advantage of the "small boat to turn around", timely adjusted the development direction, avoided the most competitive areas, and developed more specialized vessels such as chemical tankers, exploration vessels and container ships. Some shipping companies located in the Shipbuilding Industrial Park in Xishan Town, Laoshan City have undertaken some dredging engineering vessels, tugboats, ocean fishing vessels, tuna boats, etc. This year's livelihood can still be maintained.
As early as the shipbuilding industry situation is very good, most ship companies are blinded by the bustling scene, Zhejiang Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. has been preparing for the marine engineering ship field. The company's general manager of the company, Li Bo, revealed that the company's order tasks have been scheduled for the end of this year, of which marine engineering auxiliary ships account for more than 80% of the total shipbuilding business.
“A conventional bulk carrier has a steel capacity of 19,000 tons and a price of only over 30 million US dollars. A marine vessel has a steel capacity of only 3,000 tons, but its price can reach 70 million US dollars.†Libo said that the conventional ship types such as bulk carriers have serious overcapacity, and enterprises must take the road of differentiated competition and strive to expand into the field of shipbuilding with high technical content and high added value.
Similar to Zhejiang Shipbuilding's march into the offshore industry, Ningbo Xinle Shipbuilding Group is committed to building high-end chemical tankers. In the past few years, Xinle Shipbuilding has made the chemical tanker its main product, and has made great efforts to improve the technical content of its products. The company has 2 ship platforms and 2 docks. There are currently 6 ships under construction, and orders are also scheduled for the end of this year. In addition to the construction of high-end chemical tankers, it also plans to build marine engineering vessels and liquefied gas carriers.
Actively develop green energy-saving products
Luo Ning, deputy director of the Zhoushan Port and Shipping Bureau, said that the Zhoushan shipbuilding industry needs to build a comprehensive (market zone) competitive advantage and transform and upgrade to the marine equipment industry. In order to compete for orders in the limited market demand, some shipping companies in Zhoushan City have taken the initiative to increase the development of new types of ships represented by energy-saving and environmentally friendly ship types. It also actively adapts to new international standards and new norms, carries out technological innovations and upgrades on existing ship types, and focuses on research and development of green energy-saving and environment-friendly products.
Yangfan Group has successively received a number of orders according to the needs of shipowners. The energy-saving and environment-friendly 67,000-tonne bulk carrier designed by Zhenghe Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. has won the first ship issued by Japan Maritime Association (NK) in China. Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) certificate.
There are also some shipping companies that have earned a larger living space for their business diversification. For example, Xiangshan Boda Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. and Ninghai Ship Repairing Factory mainly built bulk carriers during the last round of the ship market. Since the second half of last year, the two companies have not only actively built small transport vessels and refueling vessels, sewage recovery vessels, etc. The engineering ship, with its own construction qualifications for fishing vessels, has begun to actively undertake orders for squid fishing boats and fishing auxiliary vessels, and actively develops ship repairing business. Through the adjustment of product structure, the utilization rate of the shipyards, docks and other equipment of these enterprises is relatively high, and relatively good economic benefits have been achieved.
