Core Viewpoint - The shipbuilding industry in China, particularly in the construction of high-value green ship types, is becoming a significant part of the national maritime strategy and is gaining international recognition [1]. Group 1: Production and Technology - China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC) is constructing multiple large LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) carriers, with a focus on the production of critical components such as insulation boxes [1][3]. - A single 174,000 cubic meter LNG carrier requires approximately 60,000 insulation boxes, which act as a thermal barrier to maintain the ultra-low temperatures necessary for LNG transport [3]. - The automated production line currently produces about 430,000 insulation boxes annually, meeting the self-supply needs of the shipyard for LNG carrier construction [3]. Group 2: Quality and Innovation - CSSC's LNG division holds over 50 high-value LNG ship orders, indicating strong international demand for this ship type [5]. - The insulation boxes must meet precise specifications, capable of withstanding extreme low temperatures to ensure the stability of LNG during long-distance maritime transport [5]. - The company has achieved full-chain autonomy in design, materials, and manufacturing processes, significantly increasing the domestic production rate and reducing reliance on foreign technology [6]. Group 3: Automation and Efficiency - The production line for insulation boxes has been developed in collaboration with Shanghai Jiao Tong University, incorporating intelligent control systems and automated machinery, which has doubled assembly efficiency and improved product quality [9]. - Each completed insulation box is assigned a "digital ID" for tracking, and the intelligent warehouse system allows for efficient and precise storage and retrieval of different box models [11]. Group 4: Future Directions - The breakthrough in insulation box production is seen as a microcosm of the broader goal to upgrade the entire LNG ship domestic supply chain, including the development of low-temperature valves, which are also in high demand [15]. - Future plans include collaboration with domestic universities and supply chain companies to enhance the overall intelligent manufacturing process and increase the domestic production rate, aiming for better performance, lower costs, and stronger competitiveness of Chinese-built LNG ships [17]. - The focus on core component self-supply will continue to be a solid foundation for the shipbuilding industry in China, moving beyond simple assembly integration [19].
