China International Exhibition on Ocean Engineering Equipment & Technology 2009 Report

2008 SHOW REPORT

Market Background

In 2008, Chinese shipbuilding output reached 28.81 million DWT, accounted for 29.5% of the total world market; China has completely overtaken Japan in the three major shipbuilding targets, ranking 2nd in the world.

In 2008, according to the statistics of Chinese relevant department, 1242 Chinese major shipbuilding enterprises created 414.3 billion RMB in total industrial output value, increased by 59.8% year-on-year; the total profit reached 28.34 billion RMB, increased by 50.5% year-on-year; Chinese ship exportation reached 19.36 billion USD, increased by 58.5%.

Chinese government has listed the shipbuilding industry as one of the 10 important sectors. The State Council has approved the “The Adjustment and Revitalization Plans of China Shipping Industry” on Feb.11,2009 (hereinafter referred to as “the Plans”), the Plans pointed out that Chinese shipbuilding output should account for 35% of the total world market till 2011, and the high-tech and high value-added shipbuilding output should account for 20% of total world market.

In the next three years (2009-2011), under the severe situation of the world shipbuilding market, the demand for marine engineering equipment is relatively stable with the annual demand of 40 ~ 50 billion U.S. dollars, mainly from Singapore, South Korea, Europe. Increasing Chinese proportion in the world market share in marine engineering equipment is not only the requirement of challenging financial crisis and creating new economic growth point but also enhancing shipbuilding power and implementing marine strategy. According to “the plans", China's marine engineering equipment should reach to 10% in world market share by the end of 2011.

On May 11th, 2009, “The Direction of Ocean Engineering Equipment Researching Project” (hereinafter referred to as “the Direction”) was released by the Ministry of Industry and Informationization, which was the first direction released in ocean engineering field. 

The Direction puts emphasis on the oil and gas exploration in South China Sea and the increasing of world market share. There are 22 key projects in the direction which will strive to make breakthrough in offshore drilling platforms and offshore auxiliary ships.
