CCTV News: The shipbuilding industry is known as the "crown of comprehensive industries", with multiple components, long supply chains, and high industry relevance, involving more than 50 industries such as steel, non-ferrous metals, machinery, and electronics. During an interview with China Shipbuilding Group Guangzhou Shipbuilding International, the reporter found that today's shipyards have also become the "chain leaders" of this industry chain.
According to a reporter from Guangzhou Shipbuilding International, the construction cycle of this type of dual fuel passenger roll on/roll off ship has been significantly shortened, from completing one ship in three years to completing five ships in one year. This change is due to the localization of the industrial chain, which has shortened the time and cost of logistics and after-sales service for shipbuilding products.
Wang Yonggang, Construction Manager of China Shipbuilding International Production Management Center: Our anti roll fins are from 704 Institute, and all fire doors on board are from Jiangxi Chaoyang Factory. Previously, these furniture and materials were imported from abroad. Now, the localization rate of this ship has basically reached 100%, which is very beneficial for cost and cycle control.

Wang Yonggang introduced that achieving closed-loop supply chain in China can make ships more cost-effective and competitive in the market. At the same time, shipbuilding requires the use of a large amount of raw materials and involves various industrial manufacturing technologies. Shipbuilding not only cultivates an industrial chain, but also continuously drives the continuous improvement of the overall level and capability of the industrial chain.
Chen Ji, General Manager of China Shipbuilding International, stated that the industry has continuously promoted independent and controllable domestic industrial and supply chains, and has achieved tangible results and achievements. The interior materials of luxury Ro/Ro passenger ships have achieved 100% localization, fully demonstrating the strength and charm of Chinese manufacturing and Chinese products in the international market.
Placing the industrial chain domestically can significantly shorten the construction cycle and cost. In the shipbuilding market, time is money, so shipowners are more willing to place orders with shipyards when they can get their ships faster. The localization of materials not only drives the development of the industrial chain, but also enables shipyards to obtain more profits and achieve a win-win situation.

Zhou Xuhui, Deputy General Manager of China Shipbuilding International, said: This combination has been very beneficial for us. The inquiry and order negotiations in the second half of the year are still taking place, and the gross profit will continue to improve.
Li Yanqing, Secretary General of China Shipbuilding Industry Association: From simple product development to independent product development, from simple integration of global supply chains to complete China's supply chain, China's shipbuilding industry has been developing and growing in this way.
In the past three years, the average annual income growth of Guangzhou Shipbuilding International has been close to 14%. While earning money, Guangzhou Shipbuilding International, as the industry chain leader, collaborates with the design institute of the group company and internal distribution enterprises to jointly build a domestically produced supply chain for dual fuel passenger roll on/roll off ships. Within a year, the amount of equipment purchased from the group exceeded 3 billion yuan, forming a good development trend where "brother" enterprises help me build ships and I lead "brother" enterprises to achieve win-win situations.
