Every reporter Zhangchao from Beijing recently, the International shipbuilding industry authoritative advisory body of the British Craxon Research Company (Clarkson) and the Norwegian Classification society respectively published statistics, data show May global ship orders zero.  And in the first 4 months of this year, the global New deal ships accumulated less than 2 million dwt, year-on-year decline of 97%. "The grim picture of the ship's orders will last for at least six months." "The future of the ship will be even worse if the economy does not have the expected upturn," Cheng, a German securities analyst, told the Daily economic news.  Reporter survey learned that many of the boat enterprises have been suffering from business crisis, and began to compress production capacity, and even diverted to repair the ship, demolition ship, looking for a way out. The global shipping market is dismal "it is possible that the final statistics are not yet fully available, and there may be omissions."  Bao Zhangjing, chief researcher at the China Shipbuilding Industry Economic Research Center, said that the May "0 order" was somewhat inconceivable.  But Craxon's data show a sharp drop in the volume of new shipments to the world and the new orders for Chinese shipping companies since September 2008 ~2009 years April. "These new orders are mainly concentrated in the passenger liner, while the container, bulk carrier, oil tanker three major types of ship in April, 0, of which container ship has been 6 consecutive months 0 transactions."  "Some experts said.  CITIC Investment analyst Gao Xiaochun pointed out that the current shipping market only a hundred thousand of or hundreds of thousands of tons of the order volume can be equated as "0" status. Compared with the previous 4 months in the relative sense of 0, May was completely into the low, achieved a complete 0. "This is the lowest level in 7 years, and similar conditions have not been seen since at least 2003."  "Bao Zhangjing said. "This shows that real demand is scarce under the economic crisis and there is excess capacity in the early stages.  "Cheng analysis said. "New orders for 2009 are expected to be well below the industry's projected lower limit of 20 million deadweight tonnes," he said.  Industry analysts say. In 2008, China undertook 58.18 million tons of annual orders. "Zhu Rujing said.  This year, our ship orders can reach one-fifth of last year is very good. Zhu Rujing analysis points out that over the past 5 years, the world maritime industry has had a brilliant future and many shipowners have begun to order large quantities of ships. This led to many groups, local Yihongershang to engage in shipyards. "But under the impact of the financial crisis, new orders fell sharply, and some orders were even canceled." In its 2008 report, BRS, a ship brokerage firm in Paris, said: ' Shipyards and ship-financing banks have been jumping to new orders in 2008, which is bound to go into the aftermath this year. The report found that 20% of the global total of 590 million tonnes of new ship orders were canceled, and in the next 4 years, the new ship order cancellation will rise to 120 million dwt.  The latest statistics from Ssy are even more alarming: shipyards are delaying deliveries this year and next, and owners ' withdrawals are expected to be 30%~60% for hand-held orders. "Overcapacity and the first impact of the owner's withdrawalWill be Chinese shipping companies.  "In the world shipbuilding industry, China accounts for nearly 30% per cent of global production," an industry insider said in an interview with the Daily economic news. "It is estimated that, as demand declines, China's shipbuilding capacity may be more than half the excess." Zhu Rujing in a forum. Zhejiang, a ship and enterprises in charge told reporters, due to overcapacity, many of the boat enterprises appear on the slipway idle. "Before a 20,000-ton berth can reach the monthly rent of 500,000 yuan, now tens of thousands of yuan are no one to rent." "This is not a case, the reporter learned that since last September, the financial crisis has been a strong impact on the Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Shandong and other land shipping companies have been severely challenged." "In particular, the relatively difficult to finance the small boat enterprises, estimated only 60% of the capacity in operation, many private shipping companies have long since the initiation of retreat."  "Some experts said in an interview with the newspaper.  Shipbuilding enterprises to change ship Cheng pointed out that, although the ship's current orders can still support a period of time, but the continued collapse of the new ship will affect the long-term growth of the ship's enterprises, may mean that the future of the ship market risk even greater. In the interview process, the reporter found that many of the boat companies have quietly changed careers.  A source told reporters that Yantai, Shandong existing 4 large shipping enterprises, of which three have been the focus of production adjustment to the ship repair business, and the only remaining Raffles shipping industry is also being the merger and reorganization of the group.  A staff member of the Chiang Kai-shek shipbuilding industry in Fujian told reporters that the company has now shifted production focus to the dismantling and steel plate processing services and sales of two times, affected by financial crisis and other factors, this year, the company has no new orders, and in 2008 the company built 5000 tons of cargo ship 6. "Many shipping companies have been affected by the crisis and have started to switch from shipbuilding to ship scrapping." Insiders told reporters.  China's ship-breaking association statistics also show that throughout 2008, the association ship dismantling Enterprises dismantling various types of scrap steel than the previous year growth of 189%, in the shipbuilding industry into the peak of 5 years, the first time the ship-breaking enterprise felt the spring. "It's not good this year.  "In the interview process, many private shipping companies are pessimistic about this year's economy and show the idea of a career change, and in 3 or 4 years ago, many of them are due to the boom in ship manufacturing into the industry." "The severity and duration of the Great Depression in the ship market is more serious than the general imagination," he said.  "In the coming years, the difficulties and challenges facing China's shipbuilding industry may be more than expected," Zhu Rujing said. Merger! Cheng, using a word to explain the slump of the shipbuilding industry, he believes that this year's entire shipbuilding sector will undergo a shuffle process, especially the Chinese boat enterprises, the future survival situation will be more difficult.
