In the just- concluded 17th session of the China International Maritime Exhibition , manufacturing development momentum of China's marine equipment , marine engineering equipment market is very active. According to insiders , the first three quarters of this year , Chinese companies traded various platforms 40 , 61 marine vessels , marine equipment orders to undertake the total reached $ 8.752 billion , up sharply increased . Moreover, the construction of China 's marine equipment companies also diversified product trends , mainstream marine equipment , floating rigs , drilling equipment and other auxiliary marine equipment segments have achieved independent production .

Offshore fishing vessels , drilling platforms , the helicopter stops units , submersibles , container , deep space station ...... these shining metallic luster of the name , but also to China 's aluminum industry has brought an opportunity to open up new markets.

Excellent performance as marine equipment manufacturing aluminum reinforcements

Aluminum is shipbuilding and marine engineering structures of advanced materials. Marine engineering equipment to face the wind under extreme sea conditions , wave and current impact , to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment , construction materials not only requires its resistance to seawater corrosion , but also pressure , need high intensity . These just happen to coincide with the excellent properties of aluminum alloy - lightweight aluminum alloy , strong mechanical properties and corrosion resistance , and many other features , determine its marine equipment manufacturing in becoming a new force.

And the use of steel or other materials to build a ship , compared to the use of aluminum ship construction weight loss of 15% -20 % ; ship from China ( 600150 , stock it ) Industry Association data show that : in the same strength steel , aluminum Ships only 50% of the weight of the structure of the steel structure .

Aluminum has good corrosion resistance, oil -coated to reduce maintenance costs , extend the useful life - an aluminum vessel can be used for more than 20 years, while steel is generally 5-10 years need to be replaced or overhauled . While aluminum also has a good recovery , can continue to be recycled, aluminum boats even if there is still a large residual value life expires , economical and environmentally friendly.

Aluminum has excellent molding performance characteristics and ease of welding , these features determine the aluminum look more beautiful vessel , a small elastic modulus of aluminum , a large capacity to absorb impact stress . In high-speed ferries and luxury cruise ships , the impact resistance of aluminum alloy reinforced by 30% , breaking strength is also enhanced by 13%. The use of aluminum , shipbuilding engineers can design a high-speed , long life, high load capacity , low maintenance costs of the ship .

Aluminum -free low-temperature brittleness , the most suitable for cryogenic equipment , such as LNG carriers ( special transport ship ultra-low temperature liquefied gas ) , polar exploration ship refrigerated vessels and cryogenic equipment .

Aluminum also has a non-magnetic , can produce minesweepers , submarines and special-purpose vessels shielded .

Has announced a "national marine economic development ," second five " plan" to determine the country's " gross annual marine production growth of 8 % of GDP by 2015, the proportion reached 10% ," " 1025" period of the ocean The main goal of economic development . Insiders said that this goal will be the marine equipment manufacturing raw materials, especially aluminum, bring great role in promoting. Can be expected in 2014 and the " Twelfth Five -Year" period , China's shipbuilding industry , marine equipment manufacturing industry will be developed in the transformation and upgrading of the domestic marine aluminum and aluminum marine equipment market prospects , leading aluminum companies in this field come in handy .

100,000 boats facing the replacement of aluminum and steel , " China's potential " infinity /

Alcoa will on marine equipment promising, not only because of upgrading technology , but also on China 's specific national conditions and policy-oriented . After eighteen proposed " building maritime power " strategic objectives , China has continuously introduced, issued a number of industrial policies to guide the industry to build the brand , to the end , enhance the anti-risk capacity and international competitiveness. Recently, the Ministry of Transportation and other four ministries jointly issued the " old transport ships and early retirement of single-hull tankers updated implementation plan" to improve the standard of subsidies , support the development of the shipping industry , the industry generally believes that the introduction of this program will be beneficial to the shipping industry and development of shipbuilding industry , especially the replacement of the ship.

In China, how many vessels need replacement ? Deputy director of the China Shipbuilding Industry Association, the Ministry of Information in 2013 China International Forum on aluminum revealed that only one fishing boat , with nearly 100,000 of urgent replacement.

Tan Naifen introduction, the majority of our fishing vessels are also to 100 tons of steel , just for offshore fishing . Deep-sea fishing in China is still weak , China accounted for only 1 % of the global ocean-going vessels , and our larger goal to create a maritime power gap , so the development of offshore fishing and fishing needs in the South China Sea and the Diaoyu islands and reefs near the very urgent. According to statistics, there are nearly 100,000 boats urgent replacement , since the glass vessels in steel construction and dismantling process will produce large amounts of harmful substances , so the aluminum fishing boats of fishing is "evolution" prospects.

In addition to favorable domestic policy , foreign ship upgrade requirements also increased, especially the offshore fishing boats, cargo ships, therefore , have the potential for development of aluminum industry is not only the domestic market , more vast overseas market .

Another exciting news shipbuilding and aluminum , are falling into the doldrums of the global shipping industry recovery has come in the near future : BDI index hit a three year high , Morgan Stanley believes in , such as coal , iron ore and grain shipping raw materials increasingly rising Chinese economy growing strongly , driven by the global shipping industry is expected to expand up to two years of prosperity.

With the recovery in the shipping industry , China's shipbuilding industry is also expected to re- enter the rising channel . Policies and boost the effectiveness of the dual market has been reflected in the shipbuilding business orders. Shipbuilding enterprise insiders, the third quarter of this year , the company began a significant rebound in orders , ship prices have 5% -10 % increase in the current delivery has been discharged in 2017 .

China Zhongwang Aluminum pioneer marine equipment market to test the water

China Zhongwang marine equipment is ready to go on aluminum . This largest in Asia, the world's second developer and manufacturer of industrial aluminum and Mexico EVYA has just reached a cooperation intention , as the latter sets down a helicopter pilot and offshore drilling platforms with aluminum ; addition, China Zhongwang also a India's shipbuilding enterprises UnitechEngineeringInternational production masts and other ship components. Blue ocean , is becoming Zhongwang real " blue ocean market ."

Explore the blue ocean market is China Zhongwang long invincible "secret ." As early as 2002 , while Zhongwang in architectural aluminum market is booming on the occasion of its founder, Liu Zhongtian keenly aware that the building will encounter bottlenecks in the development of aluminum - because the threshold is low , disorderly competition , is highly dependent on market conditions building aluminum production profits will be continuously compressed. Liu Zhongtian made a major decision to Zhongwang " steering " the production of industrial aluminum, Chung Mong thus avoiding excessive competition architectural aluminum Red Sea , into industrial aluminum blue ocean market , and thus grow to an annual turnover income of 13.5 billion yuan ( 2012 annual data ) of aluminum giant .

With the advances in aluminum technology, changes in market demand , the strength of the aluminum companies are emerging, we must always maintain the leading position , we must have a more forward-looking vision and courage more wealth than the other counterparts decisions. So ZHONGWANG always wary of " blue ocean red " , and continue to open up more to intensify the blue ocean market . The "Blue Ocean" contains two meanings, one has not yet been excavated , but domestic enterprises have great development potential in emerging markets ; Second, R & D both in mature and emerging markets are " scarce resources" high-tech products .

These partners in Mexico and India is the best comment blue ocean market. "Because many countries for trade protection anti-dumping measures against China 's aluminum, so we are more vigorously develop new products and new markets ." China Zhongwang International Business Department official said. "For Zhongwang , whether it is offshore drilling platform with aluminum products, or the helicopter down units with aluminum products, is still a new field , new products, along with the corresponding two sides to further deepen cooperation in the industrial aluminum will Zhongwang International sales area profiles provide a new opportunity . "

"These marine equipment for the aluminum industry, aluminum alloy demanding ." China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association, one expert said, including hardness of aluminum alloy , anti- corrosive , anti-rust , anti- fatigue strength , plasticity , weldability and other marine equipment used in aluminum profiles than ordinary civilian is much higher . However, because of this , the market is relatively high barriers to entry , in favor of those with R & D , technical strength of large enterprises .

China Zhongwang lightweight for marine equipment optimistic about the prospects . " Like the current railway , subway, the gradual development of lightweight automotive industries , marine profiles will be in the same direction , lightweight transport sector is an inevitable trend , aluminum will gradually replace the steel parts , we will continue to actively explore the market . " Lu Changqing , executive vice president of China Zhong Wang said....
