By the end of June, CSSC Qingdao Beihai Shipbuliding (Beihai Shipbuliding) had fully achieved the “double” (half-year target in both production and tasks) goal for 2025 in core indicators including operation contract amount, industrial gross output value, operating income and total profit.
Following the global shipping trend of green and low-carbon development, Beihai Shipbuilding has actively laid out the research and development of new energy ship technologies, achieving full coverage of methanol dual-fuel, ammonia dual-fuel, and LNG dual-fuel ship types. It has released three ship type brands: the “Polaris” bulk carrier, “Sirius” ore carrier, and “Venus” oil tanker series. Seven new-generation green and low-carbon main ship types have been launched and certified by eight major classification societies. In combination with future market demands, it has actively expanded the research and development reserves of gas carriers and oil tankers. The 18,000m³ ammonia bunkering ship has obtained the AIP certification from China Classification Society (CSS).
Development and Industrialization of Ammonia Fuel-Powered Large Bulk Carriers has been included in the key research and development plan of Shandong Province. Two scientific and technological achievements, “Design and Construction Technology of Smart Fisheries Large Aquaculture Workboats” and “Development of High-Performance Economical MR Oil Carriers”, have respectively won the second and third prizes of the Science and Technology Progress Award of China State Shipbuilding Corporation Limited (CSSC).
In the first half of the year, Beihai Shipbuilding completed a total of 50 major milestones, including “kicking off construction of 9 vessels, laying keels for 9 vessels, lauching 9 vessels, conducting sea trials for 11 vessels, and delivering 12 vessels”. The production efficiency of its main ship types has been gradually improving, with the average key cycle of the BC210K series ammonia-ready bulk carriers shortened by 10 days compared to last year.
