Many large shipbuilding companies in China are gradually accumulating experience in the construction of large container ships. Therefore, in the current downturn of the ship market and in the depth adjustment period, Chinese shipping companies may wish to consider issuing limited orders to Chinese shipbuilding companies when ordering large container ships or other “two high†ship types.
“Golden Heavy Industry wants to build a 8800TEU boat?†This is the most discussed topic on the major shipping websites and BBS last weekend.
On May 23, Jinhai Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. (Jinhai Heavy Industry) signed an order for 10 8800TEU ships with foreign shipowners. The first container ships in the order will be delivered from mid-2015 and will be delivered in the next two to three years. This is another high-end ship order that Jinhai Heavy Industry received after orders such as 320,000-ton VLCC, multi-purpose container ship and 90-meter offshore self-elevating work platform.
The ship above 8000TEU is hailed as “a large warehouse floating on the sea†and is a typical “double high†ship with high technology content and high added value. Previously, China's shipbuilding companies that could build such ships were only Hudong Zhonghua Shipbuilding, Yangzijiang Shipbuilding and COSCO Kawasaki. Jinhai Heavy Industry, which built large bulk carriers, was only received in June 2011. Orders for the UK Greg Shipping Group 2000 TEU boat series.
Therefore, Jinhai Heavy Industry can receive 10 orders of 8800TEU ships from Norwegian shipowners, which is envied and surprised by many people in the industry. The relevant person in charge of Jinhai Heavy Industry said: "At present, the ship market is still in a downturn, but the demand for many high-end ship types and offshore workers is very strong. Gimhae Heavy Industries has used long-term accumulation to achieve breakthroughs in technological research and transformation, and is actively transforming high-end ships. And the offshore manufacturing industry, currently has the construction capacity of VLCC, large container ships, LNG ships, marine official ships, large dredgers, and ocean-going refrigerated fishing boats."
Jinhai Heavy Industry official said that in recent years, Jinhai Heavy Industry has continuously improved its ship production technology capability, and has successively obtained the quality management system and HSE system certification for “building a 400,000-ton shipâ€, and passed the evaluation of the production conditions of Class I ships, and established offshore engineering. LNG, LPG, semi-submersible and other high value-added product project groups prepare for the transformation of high-tech and high value-added products. The 8800TEU ship order has very important strategic significance for Jinhai Heavy Industry to further optimize its product structure and implement transformation and upgrading.
Super ecological container ship
It is understood that the 8800TEU type of the ship built by Jinhai Heavy Industry has a total length of 299.9 meters, a width of 48.2 meters, a depth of 24.8 meters, a design draft of 12.5 meters and a structural draft of 14.5 meters. It is the most excellent design and performance of the same type of ships in the world. Ship type.
It is reported that these 8800TEU ships comply with the latest container ship binding specifications CSS Code, EEDI and ballast water management requirements. It is a green and environmentally-friendly ship with high total packing capacity, high cold box capacity, flexible loading and easy maintenance. It fully meets the requirements of shipowners for efficient economic operation. Garup Meidell, the CEO of the Norwegian shipowner who ordered the container ship, even called the series of container ships built this time a "super ecological container ship."
The person in charge of the project of Jinhai Heavy Industry said that the 8800TEU type of the ship was mainly superior to the same type of ship in five aspects.
First, it has better solved the problems of low fuel consumption, low emissions, environmental protection and energy conservation, which are most concerned by ship owners and shipowners, and meets environmental requirements such as EEDI, ballast water management, and nitrogen oxide emissions, and adopts measures to reduce pollutant emissions from ships. AMP shore power system. At the same time, optimization in fuel consumption, speed and power matching, and energy-saving devices equipped with advanced technology, help to improve fuel efficiency, fuel consumption is reduced by nearly 4% compared to the equivalent ship type.
The second is to optimize the structure, using 70% high-strength steel to reduce the weight of the empty ship and increase the double-shell protection in the engine room.
The third is to adopt advanced container lashing technology to meet the lashing gap requirements of the lashing safety specification CSS Code, to provide a safer environment for docking operations and improve work efficiency.
It is reported that in the construction of large container ships, the tamping of containers has always been one of the headaches for shipbuilding companies. Because of the huge volume of large container ships, the enormous force generated by them has a negative impact on the current tamping system, especially the safe use of fully automatic twist locks. Gimhae Heavy Industries has made breakthroughs in this field.
Fourth, the cab is highly automated and can meet the requirements of the German Classification Society for one-person bridges.
In addition, this 8800TEU type ship has enhanced the safety performance of the ship through a large width design, and increased the packing capacity. The number of cold boxes and the number of boxes of 14 tons are higher than the equivalent ship type.
Actively transforming high-end ships
According to informed sources, there are several well-known shipbuilding companies at home and abroad participating in the bidding for the 10 8800TEU ships. The competition is not fierce. However, Jinhai Heavy Industry has won the favor of ship owners with the best design schemes due to years of technical accumulation and breakthrough in hardware and software.
Jinhai Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. said that in order to win the order, Jinhai Heavy Industry has made quite a lot of preliminary preparations. As a large-scale modern shipbuilding enterprise of the national high-tech enterprise and the leading enterprise of the industrial industry in Zhejiang Province, Jinhai Heavy Industry has the ability to manufacture large container ships in hardware. At present, there are 8 docks with a total capacity of 2.08 million tons, of which the largest one is a 500,000-ton shipyard, which is among the best in China and even in Asia. It is equipped with 2 sets of 800 tons of gantry cranes, 6 steel plate pretreatment production lines, 2 plane segmentation lines and more. Taiwan imported plasma flame cutting machine and other large-scale automation equipment, the main production equipment reached 875 sets (sets).
In the software, Jinhai Heavy Industry made four preparations. First, it has continuously improved the ship's production technology capability. It has successively obtained the quality management system certification of “Building a 400,000-ton ship†issued by China Classification Society and the HSE system certification issued by China Classification Society, and passed the evaluation of the production conditions of Class I ships. Secondly, several project groups such as offshore, LNG, LPG, semi-submersible and container ships have been established to prepare enterprises for the transition to high-tech and high-value-added products; thirdly, to strengthen strategic cooperation, successively with Zhejiang Industrial University, China Shipbuilding Institute, and Lloyd's Register of Shipping signed strategic cooperation agreements to further enhance the company's technology research and development capabilities. Fourth, the implementation of high-end talent introduction strategy, the introduction of high-end technical talents at home and abroad through a variety of platforms, to expand high-end products The market provides both the protection of talent and technology.
It is reported that Jinhai Heavy Industry has an annual shipbuilding capacity of 6 million DWT. In addition to manufacturing various large and medium-sized container ships and bulk carriers, it also has LNG carriers, LPG vessels, ro-ro ships, floating storage vessels and product tankers. Construction capacity of different types of high-end vessels such as 320,000-ton VLCC, passenger ships and special work vessels.
Extra large container shipping orders are expected
With the trend of large-scale container ships becoming more and more intense, the price advantage has become increasingly prominent, and more and more liner companies have begun to invest in the construction of ships above 8000 TEU.
According to the quotation of the international ship brokerage company, the new construction price of large container ships has dropped significantly from US$10,000/TEU in April 2011 to the current US$6,000/TEU. As container ship prices have fallen to a minimum, including OOCL, Sethpan, Yangming Shipping and South American ships, they may not have built a 18,000 TEU boat like Maersk Line and CSCL, but they have set their sights on it. Cost-effective 8000 ~ 14000TEU type boat.
It is reported that Sespan had previously ordered three 10,000 TEU vessels at a private shipyard in China. At present, the company said that if it is supported by leasers and export credit agencies, it will implement a project of 10,000 TEU or more.
In March, Kawasaki Motors is determined to build five 14,000 TEU vessels in domestic shipbuilding companies; South American Cruises plans to order 10 9000 TEU vessels and is currently negotiating with Asian shipbuilding companies; OOCL's second batch of 8888TEUs in the Mainland The type of vessel will also be delivered in the near future.
According to estimates, in the current high oil prices, large container ships have an advantage in cost. A modern wide Panamax container ship requires only 65% ​​loading rate and its unit space cost can be equal to that of the 2500 TEU. This has also led to the ongoing phenomenon of “big ships replacing boats†on various main routes.
However, in the face of more and more large container ship orders, Chinese shipbuilding companies are not prepared enough, and a large number of orders have been robbed by South Korea. In April, the orders for five 18,000 TEU ships of CSCL were successfully acquired by Hyundai Heavy Industries of Korea, which made the industry feel great regret.
Industry insiders pointed out that the technical strength of most shipbuilding companies in the design and construction of large container ships is still weak, especially in terms of environmental performance and efficiency improvement, compared with South Korea's advanced shipbuilding companies, there is still a big gap, but also lack Enough "real combat" experience.
However, this does not mean that Chinese shipbuilding companies do not have the corresponding construction capacity. Many large shipbuilding companies, including Jinhai Heavy Industry, are gradually accumulating experience in the construction of large container ships.
Therefore, many insiders have called for Chinese shipping companies to consider offering limited orders to Chinese shipbuilding companies when they are planning a large container ship or other "two-high" ship types in the current downturn and deep adjustment period. .
Of course, Chinese shipbuilding enterprises must also cultivate their internal strengths, fully grasp the market trends, continuously carry out technological and product innovation, improve their own research and development strength and product construction quality, accelerate the mastery of core technologies, and focus on developing green ships that meet environmental protection and energy conservation requirements. To ensure successful design, successful orders, successful construction, successful delivery, and seek a bigger “cake†in the high-end ship market.
