Under the agreement, they will cooperate
in the fields of intelligent transport and equipment, marine environmental
protection, maritime policy and technical regulations research, international
maritime affairs, marine safety equipment and personnel training.
China Shipbuilding will seek to
leverage the new technologies to help it rebuild its business that was
adversely affected in the first half of 2020 by the global pandemic. They
reported that new ship orders dropped 50 per cent year on year in the first
half of 2020.
The goal is to jointly develop
smart shipping by conducting research and technology test verifications as well
as demonstrations to promote the construction of smart shipping systems, said
the report.
They expect to apply developed
technologies in the construction of cruise ships, large-scale liquefied natural
gas (LNG) carriers and polar navigation ships as well as Beidou satellite
navigation systems.
They also expect the cooperation
to extend to ship-to-sea environmental protection technology for pollution prevention
and control for the shipping industry.
They will focus on the research
and development of new energy sources as well as energy-saving and
environmental protection technologies and products to reduce ships' greenhouse
gas emissions.
The China
Shipbuilding Group will use the
new technologies to continue to strengthen its technological innovation that it
believes will permit it to increase its business.
In the
first half of 2020, CSSC received orders for 73 ships amounting to 5.35 million
deadweight tons. This represented
better than 34 per cent year-on-year growth of its order book, and with a 30
per cent global market share, ranks CSSC first in global shipbuilding, said the
report.
