Shipbuilding industry is a traditional industry that our country has advantages. Six out of every ten new shipbuilding orders in the world go to China. At present, China's shipbuilding industry is accelerating the cultivation of new quality productivity, and is accelerating towards the middle and high end with continuous technological innovation.

    When the reporter came to the shipyard in Dalian, the first unmanned ship built by the company is stepping up equipment installation and function debugging. Although the hull tonnage is not large, but it has a "super brain", can achieve autonomous navigation and docking.

    Researchers told reporters that compared with driverless cars, ships at sea will encounter wind and waves and ocean currents, which is much more complex than that on land, and the difficulty of research and development has directly jumped several levels.

    In order to adapt to the new modern shipbuilding system, the team composition is also refreshed. In this research and development team with an average age of less than 40 years old, many people are actually from interdisciplinary majors such as computer, big data, artificial intelligence, and so on, and the research and development team has also set up a new position of intelligence director, specializing in coordinating multiple intelligent systems.

    Not only the "new content" is increasing, but the "green content" of the shipbuilding industry is also quietly rising. These newly installed rooftop photovoltaics and new energy storage plants provide more green power to the shipyard. This giant ship, equipped with the world's largest Type B liquefied natural gas fuel tank, can reduce carbon emissions by more than 20% and sulfur oxide emissions by 100%. Of the 18 ship types the shipyard is designing this year, more than half are green.

    According to the latest data from the China Shipbuilding Industry Association, in January and February this year, the three major indicators of shipbuilding completion, new orders and hand-held orders in China's shipbuilding industry ranked first in the world. Among the global green power ships, China's share of new orders has exceeded 50%.
