The global merchant fleet continues to grow in size as of 2023.By the end of the year, it is expected to reach 23.5billion deadweight tonsIt provides a stable demand base for the ship repair market.

Tighter global sulfur restrictions and carbon emission control policies have prompted more shipowners to environmentally renovate or replace old ships, increasing the number and difficulty of ship repair and renovation projects.

The continuous innovation of new energy power technology has brought new opportunities for the ship repair market. For example,LNGMethanol, hydrogen fuel and other clean energy sources are increasingly widely used in the field of marine power, providing more modification options for traditional fuel-powered ships.

The continuous improvement of marine high-end equipment and intelligent level has brought new challenges to the ship repair market. For example, large container ships, cruise ships,LNGHigh-end ship types such as transport ships require higher repair quality and efficiency, and require more professional technical and equipment support.

In the global ship repair market, Chinese enterprises have strong competitiveness. According to data from Champ Consulting Group，2023The share of Chinese enterprises in the global ship repair market will reach45%ranked first in the world. The advantages of Chinese enterprises in this industry are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

Cost advantage. Chinese companies have abundant human resources and low material costs, and can provide customers with cost-effective repair services. In addition, Chinese companies also have a complete logistics network and geographical location advantages, which can save customers transportation time and costs.

Technical capacity. In recent years, Chinese enterprises have continuously increased R & D investment and technological innovation, and improved their independent design and manufacturing capabilities. At present, Chinese enterprises have been able to undertake the repair and transformation projects of all kinds of high-end equipment and green power ships, and have made a number of technological breakthroughs and innovative achievements.

Market share. Chinese companies have a wide customer base and good reputation around the world, and can provide customers with a full range of repair services. At present, Chinese enterprises have been with 191Shipowners from several countries and regions have established cooperative relations., and occupies 9 of the top ten overhaul ship enterprises in the world.seats.。

Although Chinese enterprises have strong competitiveness in the ship repair market, they also face some challenges and risks. Mainly has the following several aspects:

overcapacity. Due to the downturn in the domestic shipbuilding market, some shipbuilders turned to ship repair business, resulting in overcapacity in domestic ship repair. At the same time, due to the impact of the epidemic and rising freight rates, some of the demand for ship repair has been delayed or lost, resulting in an imbalance between supply and demand in the domestic ship repair market.

Demand is falling. Weak demand in the global shipping market due to slowing global economic growth and increased trade frictions has affected shipowners' willingness to invest in ship repairs. In addition, due to the decline in the price of new shipbuilding and the progress of new energy power technology, some shipowners are more inclined to upgrade rather than repair and transformation.

Environmental pressure. With the tightening of global environmental regulations, the ship repair market is also facing higher environmental standards and requirements. For example, emissions such as marine coatings, waste water and exhaust gas need to comply with relevant regulations, otherwise they will face fines or bans.

International competition. As ship repair companies in other countries and regions accelerate technological upgrades and service improvements, the advantages of Chinese companies in the global ship repair market are gradually weakening. For example, ship repair companies in Singapore, South Korea, Turkey and other countries and regions have strong competitiveness in the repair and transformation of high-end equipment and green power ships.

To sum up,2023Chinese companies will still maintain their leading position in the global ship repair market, but they also need to deal with multiple challenges and risks.

Expand the repair and transformation market of high-end equipment and green power ships. Chinese enterprises should seize the opportunities brought by the global sulfur restriction order and carbon emission control policy, actively explore the repair and transformation market of high-end equipment and green power ships, and improve their added value and profit margin.

Increase international competitiveness and influence. Chinese enterprises should strengthen cooperation and exchanges with international organizations and industry associations, actively participate in the formulation and implementation of international standards, and improve their international reputation and influence. At the same time, Chinese enterprises should also strengthen cooperation and competition with ship repair enterprises in other countries and regions.
