Europe, Japan and South Korea "rule" deck machinery market

From the current development situation of the world marine deck machinery market, companies in Europe, Japan and South Korea still occupy a dominant position. They not only master the core technology of marine deck machinery, but also lead the market in other countries and regions. The development trend of the unproductive deck machinery technology also has an absolute "right to speak."
Europe dominates Japan and South Korea as the birthplace of the world's ship supporting technology, Europe has formed a relatively complete ship supporting product research and development and production system, and through continuous technological innovation, firmly grasp the development direction of the world's supporting industries. The world's top marine deck machinery companies are basically from Europe, such as Finland's Cargotec, British Luo Luo, Germany's HATLAPA, Germany's NMF, Norway's TTS, Norway's Aker Solutions. The deck machinery products of these enterprises can be used for marine vessels, ro-ro ships, fishing boats, drilling platforms and other ships and marine engineering equipment. Among them, TTS, Aker Solutions, etc. mainly provide design and integration services, in addition to some key supporting equipment. The production of its products is mainly completed by partners in Asian countries such as China, Japan and Korea. According to statistics from the European Marine Equipment Commission (EMEC), in 2010, the value of European deck machinery was about 36 billion yuan, accounting for 55% of the global deck machinery output.
Through the early introduction of technology from Europe, Japan gradually developed its own intellectual property deck machinery technology, forming a number of well-known production companies, such as Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ishikawajima, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Pushi. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism of Japan, in 2010, the total output value of marine deck machinery in the country was 5.8 billion yuan, accounting for about 6% of the total output value of its ships. Among them, the mooring machinery output was 1555 sets, the output value was 480 million yuan; the loading and unloading machinery output was 3501 sets, the output value was 3.14 billion yuan; the steering gear output was 585 sets, and the output value was 580 million yuan.
There are about 10 major companies producing marine deck machinery in Korea. Among them, well-known companies include Yoowon Co., Ltd. and Oriental Seiko. Liu Yuan introduced the large-scale steering gear technology of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in 1993. At present, the “Liuyuan-Mitsubishi Heavy Industry” steering gear has a market share of over 60% in Korea. According to the statistics of the Korea Marine Equipment Industry Association (KOMEA), in 2010, the value of Korean marine deck machinery was about 8 billion yuan, accounting for 10% of the total output value of Korea.
Future technology development trend With the continuous improvement of the shipping industry's requirements for ship economy, reliability and environmental protection, the world's ships are accelerating to develop in the direction of large-scale, intelligent and low-carbon. Marine equipment is an important carrier for achieving ship performance. In order to comply with the requirements of ship technology development, world-renowned deck machinery manufacturers have devoted themselves to the research and development of energy saving, environmental protection, large-scale, modular and intelligent equipment, and have become the development trend leading the future.
Energy-saving and environmental protection Compared with hydraulic deck machinery, electric deck machinery has the advantages of no hydraulic oil, low noise, low energy consumption, etc. It meets the requirements of energy saving and environmental protection, and has become the research and development direction of deck machinery technology. According to Finnish Cargotec, its current research and development focus is on reducing energy consumption during the product life cycle and providing environmentally friendly solutions. Currently, the company is working on the development of electric gangways, electric deck cranes, electric hatch covers, electric winches, and dust-free fully enclosed dump truck systems for bulk carriers.
Large-scale development With the development of ships in the direction of large-scale, in order to meet the requirements of ship loading capacity, you are gradually increasing the size of marine cranes. At the same time, the steering gear and the anchoring machine are also developing in the direction of power enlargement. In 2011, Cargotec manufactured and installed a 400-ton MacGregor semi-active heave compensation crane for the world's largest and most advanced offshore construction vessel, the Beihai Giant.
Modular HATLAPA, Luo Luo, etc. have adopted a modular deck machinery design production mode, which not only helps to reduce production costs, improve product quality and stability, but also facilitates mass production, installation and maintenance of products.
The wide application of intelligent microelectronic digital technology has greatly improved the automation and intelligent level of deck machinery operation control, and the centralized control and remote control degree have been greatly improved, making operation more convenient and safe.
According to the judgment of China Shipbuilding Industry Economic Research Center on the domestic future ship market, from 2012 to 2015, the average annual completion of domestic ships of 10,000-ton or above will be 700-800. According to this calculation, the annual average demand for domestic anchor winches is 5,300 to 6,000 units; the average annual demand for cranes is 3,500 to 4,000 units; and the annual average demand for steering gears is 700 to 800 units.
Globally, it is estimated that the average annual completion of ships of 10,000-ton or above in 2012-2015 will be around 2,000, the annual average demand for anchor wringers will be around 15,000, and the average annual demand for cranes will be around 10,000. The demand is about 2,000 units.
