On August 1, 2022, an ultra-large container ship known as the "cargo king" at sea slowly pulled out of the dock.

The total length of the ship is nearly 400 meters, and the maximum stacking layers can reach 25 layers, which is equivalent to the height of a 22-story building.

This "big mac" can carry more than 240,000 tons of cargo, and can load a record-breaking 24,116 standard containers at a time, setting a new record in the world's top ultra-large container ship construction at that time.

  Four days later, on August 5, China's fifth-generation large-scale LNG (liquefied natural gas) carrier started construction in Shanghai, marking the 174,000-cubic-meter LNG that was independently developed and designed by China and represents the highest level of technology in the field of large-scale LNG carriers in the world today. The construction of the transport ship from the design blueprint to the real ship has become an important milestone in the process of China's R&D and design of LNG ships from following and running to leading.

  Sea freight is the main way of transporting goods in international trade.

In global trade, more than 80% of goods are shipped by sea.

Therefore, the shipbuilding industry is an important indicator to measure a country's comprehensive national strength and industrial level.

According to data released by the China Shipbuilding Industry Association, in 2021, China will continue to rank first in the world in the three major indicators of the shipbuilding industry. Shipbuilding completions, new orders received, and orders in hand, China's shipbuilding companies account for 50% of the world's total. Left and right, continue to lead the world.

According to the forecast of the China Shipbuilding Industry Association, in 2022, my country's shipbuilding completion will exceed 40 million dwt.

  From "poor and white" to the world's largest shipbuilding country, China's shipbuilding industry has now become a leader in the development of the global shipbuilding industry. In the future, the Chinese people's sailing dream will continue to overcome difficulties and sail to the depths of the ocean.
