Xinhua Shanghai December 14, the question: from "0 to" to order "thaw" shipbuilding industry accelerates structural adjustment crisis eyeing 2009, China shipbuilding industry experienced "first bitter after Sweet", from "0" "market stagnation" in the state of difficult to deal with, from 1 to October new orders and hand-held orders more than Korea,  Ranked first in the world. However, overcapacity, low-end competition, lack of domestic demand and other issues still plague our shipbuilding industry, some experts pointed out that the shipbuilding industry the most difficult moment has not come.  Facing the difficult market haze, the Chinese shipbuilding industry needs to step out of the crisis and accelerate the adjustment of the structure to realize the industrial upgrading. From "0" to the order "thaw" since October 2008, the global shipbuilding industry has been hit hard by the financial crisis, hand-held ship orders changed over the past few years, the growth trend, 11 consecutive months fell back.  From November 2008 to May 2009, for 7 consecutive months, the global shipbuilding turnover averaged less than 1 million tons per month, and even "0" in May. Under the austere market environment, Chinese shipbuilding enterprises are hard to be immune.  From September 2008 to May 2009, the market was in a period of extreme chaos and panic, the new ship volume was stagnant, the new ship price overall downward. The reporter learned from the shipbuilding enterprise, before May this year, the shipbuilding market is in a state of stagnation, not to take orders, not even inquiry.  Serious shortage of effective orders, coupled with a certain number of orders were revoked, the shipbuilding enterprise feel panic and helpless. In response to the financial crisis, the state issued the "Shipbuilding industry adjustment and revitalization plan."  "Planning" put forward to increase the production and operation of credit financing support, increase the export of ship buyers Credit, encourage the purchase of abandon ship, efforts to expand domestic market demand, accelerate the elimination of old ships and single shell tankers, improve the policy measures of mergers and acquisitions, and increase scientific research and development and technical transformation of investment and The implementation of the "planning" achieved initial results, the current shipbuilding industry, the overall smooth economic operation. From January 2009 to September, the national shipbuilding industry grew 32.5% (in production value), export delivery value of 182.88 billion yuan, an increase of 19.9%; January to October, China's shipbuilding, new orders, hand-held orders accounted for the world market share of 32.4%, 67.5%,  38.2%, Shipbuilding completed the second place in the world, new orders and handheld orders more than Korea, ranked first in the world.  China Shipbuilding Industry Economic Research Center Director Cao Youseng Analysis, with shipbuilding market orders "thaw", the end of this year shipbuilding market continued from June to August situation, out of the November 2008 to May 2009 stagnation. Getting out of the crisis needs to speed up restructuring this year's new ship turnover will not exceed 30 million tons, the overall demand is still insufficient.  The demand for new ships in 2010 will be significantly better than 2009, but the overall situation of insufficient effective demand will not change. As the order demand is much lower than the same time shipbuilding completion, in the future longerThe gradual decline in hand-held orders will not change, many shipyards in 2011, or even 2010 years may appear on the berth "empty" situation, shipyards will face real difficulties.  In order to fight for orders, the price war is unavoidable, domestic shipbuilding enterprises competition degree even higher than the international market. Zhu, chief engineer of Industry and information technology, while encountering the international financial crisis, facing enormous challenges and risks, but the overall comparative advantage of China's shipbuilding industry is still more obvious, coupled with the country's strong support for the shipbuilding industry, the current shipping companies holding orders are still relatively full,  And the domestic market demand has a certain expansion space. Zhang Guangin, chairman of China Shipbuilding Industry Association, said that the shipbuilding industry should take structural adjustment as a major measure to deal with the crisis and seize the next round of global economic development opportunities.  The central task of industry development in the future is to promote structural adjustment and change the way of development. The structural adjustment is all-round, we should expand the market share by enlarging the construction scale to rely mainly on the existing production capacity, improving the efficiency, changing the product structure, adapting to the market demand, raising the concentration of the existing industry, cultivating large enterprises, large groups, reducing internal friction and enhancing the competitive strength of shipbuilding industry as a whole.  and strengthen support for the development of domestic supporting industries to adapt to shipbuilding, matching synchronous coordination. "It needs to be emphasized that China's shipbuilding industry should really get out of the predicament and realize the benign development of science, we need to adjust the ratio of export and domestic market, or to start domestic demand." For a long time, China's shipbuilding industry output 70%-80% of the ship is exported, to the domestic shipowners shipbuilding ratio is too low, should further stimulate domestic demand, to resist market risk.  "Zhang Guangin said. To build a shipbuilding country to grasp the "unique opportunity period" Zhu that the world shipbuilding industry has a law of evolution, that Japan in the two World War, the rapid development of South Korea in the two oil crisis rise. Entering the new century, the world shipbuilding industry has formed the competition pattern of Korea, Japan and pillars. Under the influence of the international financial crisis, the World Shipbuilding Center will also accelerate the transfer, some developed shipbuilding countries due to cost and other factors to further exit the mainstream ship market, and China's shipbuilding industry has a comprehensive advantage of technology, capital and labor force will be more prominent, there is great potential and space for improvement.  It can be said that the trend of the world shipbuilding industry to China has not changed, the comprehensive competitive advantage of shipbuilding industry has not changed, and the fundamentals of shipbuilding industry development have not changed. The crisis period is a competitive enterprise to change the competitive structure of the "unique opportunity period." At present, China shipbuilding industry's ability to receive orders has become the world's first, orders more than South Korea, the future output will exceed South Korea.  The crisis is a challenge and an opportunity for China's shipbuilding industry. Experts believe that, at present, due to the huge amount of hand-held orders need a gradual process of digestion, the world economic situation is getting better, withdrawal, delay and shipowners change the peak period of ship type is gradually past, the whole world shipbuilding industry competition pattern will appear a certain "stalemate" status, "Big Shuffle" may appear in 2012later. In this round of financial crisis, China and South Korea shipbuilding industry are faced with greater risks, the impact of the crisis is basically similar to the government's rescue shipbuilding industry, the measures are basically the same, so the Chinese and Korean competition pattern will not be a big change. To maintain the speed of catching up with South Korea in previous years, especially in the overall strength, China needs to seize the opportunity of development, change the way of development, and promote structural adjustment and industrial upgrading.
