With the development of the domestic and international ship (cable for naval ships) industry, it is expected that the future demand for ships will mainly be for large tonnage models, characterized by high technology content and added value.
The survey indicates that the global shipbuilding center is accelerating its shift to China. Relying on its strategic location where the golden waterway and golden coastline intersect, the Yangtze River Delta region in our country has become a concentration area for the transfer of shipbuilding industry investments. The international market is affected by the external economic environment and is expected to experience a short-term downturn compared to previous years. However, the domestic shipbuilding industry will continue to thrive, benefiting from the implementation of China's maritime development strategy, which presents a vast development space for the domestic shipbuilding industry. The types of new ships that China can successfully manufacture are increasing, including成品油船 (成品油船), 化学品船 (chemical tanker), 海洋工程船 (offshore engineering vessel), 远洋渔船 (ocean-going fishing vessel), 大型集装箱船 (large container ship), 客滚船 (roll-on/roll-off ferry), 滚装船 (roll-on/roll-off ship), 液化石油气船 (liquefied petroleum gas carrier), 液化天然气船 (liquefied natural gas carrier), 大型冷藏船 (large refrigerated ship), 散货船 (bulk carrier), 渔政船 (fishery patrol vessel), **船, 自卸船 (self-unloading ship), 大舱口多用途船 (open-top multipurpose ship), 穿梭油船 (suez oil tanker), 高速无舱盖集装箱船 (high-speed open-top container ship), 高速水翼客船 (high-speed hydrofoil passenger ship), 海上储油船 (sea oil storage ship), 巨型油船 (ultra-large crude oil carrier), and inland waterway vessels, among others. Additionally, there are also small vessels and warships such as anti-smuggling boats, lifeboats, and yachts.
The rapid development of China's shipbuilding industry will further boost the demand for marine cables. Due to the influence of the ship's working environment, most of the cables used on ships are halogen-free, low-smoke, and salt-resistant specialty cables. In offshore platform operations, longitudinal water-sealed cables and umbilical cables will be widely used. The overall demand for marine cables in China will significantly increase with the development of the domestic and international shipbuilding industry; the demand for cables and optical fibers for naval vessels, underwater vehicles, torpedoes, underwater lures, and reconnaissance devices will also see a substantial rise. In addition, the maintenance of ships and the construction of related facilities such as docks will provide a substantial market demand for other commonly used types of cables.
