In the latest data released by China's shipbuilding industry, a reporter found that despite the continued decline in global orders for green-powered ships, China's global market share of new orders for green ships has remained above 68% for three consecutive years. What transformation code lies behind this growth against the trend? On inland waterways, a wave of electrification has quietly emerged. Many veteran captains who have spent their entire lives on ships have taken the initiative to replace their familiar fuel-powered vessels with electric ones. The booming market momentum has already been transmitted to the upstream shipbuilding segment of the industry chain. Visiting local shipbuilding enterprises, the reporter saw that production stations were fully booked, and a large number of new energy ships were being built at an accelerated pace.
