Yesterday, the 2023 World Navigation Equipment Conference opened in Fuzhou. In order to share cutting-edge technologies and innovative achievements in marine scientific and technological equipment, promote economic and trade integration, and promote the innovative development of the navigation equipment industry, a large number of cutting-edge marine scientific and technological equipment achievements are exhibited in a centralized manner.

Integrating digital and intelligent applications into the marine equipment industry

Reporter Wei Ming from the headquarters:We can feel the atmosphere of the exhibition at the exhibition site is very lively, with many people visiting and coordinating business, especially in the area where I am currently located. There are currently many people gathered, and they are paying attention to what kind of new technology. Let's take a look together first.

There are some hanging steel balls and a fish swimming in this pool, but it is difficult to see with the naked eye because it is full of mud and sand. But I can see that the device placed in the water can clearly and in real-time display the contours of fish and steel balls on this screen. How is this achieved? This is actually a set of underwater monitoring equipment that utilizes sonar combined with digital algorithms for imaging. There are also some devices on site that are inconvenient for demonstration due to venue reasons. They can achieve sonar imaging with an accuracy of up to millimeter level within a hundred meters in turbid water. Combined with digital technology, they can effectively help us understand the underwater conditions in complex marine environments.

It can be said that a trend reflected in this exhibition is the widespread integration of digitalization and intelligent applications into various fields of the marine equipment industry. Not only are there digital applications in navigation, safety, and other aspects of the sea, but we also found that fishing production, such as the famous large yellow croaker in Fujian, can also use such a large and far-reaching marine aquaculture platform in the sea area of nearly 10 kilometers offshore through the 5G network covering the offshore area, Configure devices such as video monitoring, fish species monitoring, ocean current meteorological monitoring, and underwater robots for intelligent aquaculture at sea.

Focusing on the Green Development of New Power System Marine Equipment

This exhibition hall also features a set of devices, with many pipes and metal structures similar to batteries, which are actually a power system using ammonia hydrogen energy. Hydrogen energy is an important direction for the development of new energy in the future, but there are still many technical difficulties in long-term storage of hydrogen. And this equipment uses liquid ammonia as the medium for storing hydrogen. When in use, the ammonia is converted into hydrogen before generating electricity. The energy efficiency of this equipment is over 30% higher than that of similar products internationally. It has been successfully tested and applied on buses and is currently undergoing application testing on ships. While being green and environmentally friendly, it also solves the technical difficulties of hydrogen storage, and the fuel cost can be saved by more than half compared to fuel.

At the exhibition site, in addition to this equipment, many technologies and products that revolve around the use of new energy and reflect the concept of green development were also exhibited, including offshore wind power equipment, seawater hydrogen production technology, as well as electric yachts and unmanned new energy boats. Green development is another important trend we observed at the exhibition.

Exhibition of Large Ships and Marine Engineering Equipment

In addition, this conference also has an important exhibition area that focuses on showcasing the significant achievements made by China in the field of shipbuilding and marine engineering equipment in the past decade. Among them, there are over 50 ships and marine engineering equipment with significant impact, covering various fields such as offshore production platforms, research vessels, submersibles, and other major weapons such as the Struggler, Snow Dragon 2, and Deep Sea 1. These represent the comprehensive strength of China's marine equipment industry.

At present, China has successfully launched domestic ships equipped with variable frequency electric control equipment, which can simultaneously ride pure electric tourist ships with over 1000 passengers. The localization rate of core components for major weapons like the Struggler even exceeds 96.5%. It also indicates that the strength of China's marine equipment industry is continuously and rapidly increasing.

Therefore, we also believe that the holding of this conference will bring together practitioners from various sub sectors of the industry. Through in-depth communication and exchange, it will further promote the high-quality development of China's marine equipment and help China build a strong maritime country.
