Amid the strong growth in China’s shipbuilding industry, Dalian is navigating a course to becoming a global leader in green ship and marine equipment construction, repairs and retrofitting work.

Liaoning Province has historically been an important base for China’s shipbuilding industry. The country’s first 10,000-ton ship, first drilling platform, and first aircraft carrier were all produced in Dalian.

After more than a century of development, the shipbuilding and marine equipment industry in Dalian has become a national leader in terms of industrial strength, research and development and industrial cooperation capabilities.
