Honghu Shipbuilding Group Co., Ltd. has 100% independent intellectual property rights for the research and development of the sixth-generation drilling platform, and has completed all the detailed design and construction design.

Of course, this is also due to the company's acquisition of these design ship companies and the recruitment of a large number of top design and development personnel over the years, and now the ship design and research institute has hundreds of experts, as well as a group of top engineering and technical personnel, and the technical strength is first-class in the world.

It is precisely with such strong technical strength, and behind the support of such a huge engineering and technical team of Huaxing Group, so the ability of Honghu Shipbuilding Group in design, R&D and manufacturing has reached a very high standard in recent years.

In recent years, Honghu Shipbuilding Group Company has launched some high-end ship engineering equipment and military and civilian ships.

Royal Dutch Shell Group Co., Ltd. and Huaxing Group Co., Ltd. have also cooperated for more than five years, mainly with Huayuan Group Co., Ltd. to build hydrogen fuel filling stations in some cities in Europe, and also purchase hydrogen fuel from Huayuan Group Co., Ltd., and the scale of cooperation is now getting bigger and bigger.

This is also the first time to order drilling ships from Honghu Shipbuilding Group Company, and at once it ordered four, each costing 500 million US dollars, that is, 2 billion US dollars, and also ordered six 100,000-ton hydrogen fuel carriers, each costing more than 200 million US dollars, which is also an order of 1.5 billion US dollars.

In the past, hydrogen fuel was basically transported by tankers, but if hydrogen fuel is transported by ordinary tankers, it will cause hydrogen fuel pollution and hydrogen embrittlement and corrosion to ship steel.

Huaxing Group has also developed titanium alloy materials that are resistant to high temperature, corrosion and hydrogen embrittlement, which were only used in its own products and equipment, and were not used in ships transporting hydrogen fuel.

Since Huaxing Group acquired Honghu Shipbuilding Group Co., Ltd., it has begun to develop hydrogen fuel ships specially used for transportation, and has now begun to deliver large orders of hydrogen fuel carriers to many companies.

The previous deliveries were tens of thousands of tons of hydrogen fuel carriers, but now a 100,000-ton carrier has been designed and developed, and the next step is to develop 200,000-ton and 300,000-ton carriers.

At present, Honghu Shipbuilding Group has received orders for dozens of special hydrogen fuel carriers in the past two years, all of which are large transport ships, with a reserve order amount of more than 6 billion US dollars.

Because this special alloy is now only enough for Huaxing Group to use itself, and rarely provides it to the outside, basically only Honghu Shipbuilding Group can produce this special ship now.

In order to develop this special alloy, it took more than three years for the special alloy material research and development center under Huaxing Group to master a complete set of technology and equipment for the preparation and processing of this alloy material, and only Huaxing Group itself can provide this special alloy at this stage.

At present, Honghu Shipbuilding Group has begun to produce such special hydrogen fuel carriers on a large scale, which has become the main business of the group company.

Even other large domestic shipping group companies can only get a small amount of special alloys to produce hydrogen fuel carriers.

In addition, it has also passed the certification of international certification bodies for special titanium alloys for hydrogen fuel carriers and related materials for insulating and heat insulation panels for liquid cargo enclosure systems.

Now Huaxia Group is also increasing the supply of these materials, of course, giving priority to the supply of domestic shipbuilding group companies.

Natural gas liquefied ship is an internationally recognized high-tech, high-difficulty, high value-added "three high" products, is a special ship for transporting liquefied natural gas under low temperature conditions of -163 °C, is a kind of "offshore super refrigerated vehicle", is known as the world's shipbuilding "crown jewel".

As the core material of liquefied gas carriers, Yinwa alloy is also known as the "pearl of pearls", and now there is only one foreign company in the world that can produce Yinwa alloy.

Similarly, because of the particularity of hydrogen fuel, the container material of this hydrogen fuel is also very demanding, and it is also a high-tech, high-difficulty and high-value-added product.

Because hydrogen fuel was the first to be developed by Huaxing Group, and other companies had no experience in developing container materials for hydrogen fuel before, these can only be done by Huaxing Group itself.

Previously, this container material was mainly used in fuel cells, but now it is being used on a large scale on hydrogen fuel carriers.

The use of hydrogen fuel is increasing around the world, and the demand for dedicated hydrogen fuel carriers is also increasing among domestic and foreign energy giants.

Huaxing Group is the earliest in this regard, and naturally has become the only manufacturer that can design, produce and manufacture special hydrogen fuel carriers at this stage.

Naturally, the Royal Dutch Shell Group can only hand over the order for hydrogen fuel special carriers to Honghu Shipbuilding Group to complete.

Of course, before this, the Royal Dutch Shell Group Company also inspected the Honghu Shipbuilding Group, and carefully understood the strength of the latter's R&D, design, production and manufacturing, and they were also surprised by the technical strength of the Honghu Shipbuilding Group.

Honghu Shipbuilding Group Co., Ltd. has unknowingly become a first-class ship design and manufacturing group company, and it also has some technical patents that the shipbuilding group company does not have, and the production management mode is also a typical Huaxing Group company style——

The production management standards are very strict, very focused on research and development, very creative, dare to use various technical means to improve efficiency, respond very quickly to the market, and pay attention to customer service.

For such a shipping group company, the Royal Dutch Shell Group is also very trusted, and took the lead in handing over billions of dollars of orders to this company to complete.

This matter has also caused a great sensation in the industry, the sixth generation of drilling platform exported to Europe, is a major project promoted by the Ministry of Commerce in the past, this major project is mainly jointly developed by the national team's CNOOC and the 708th Research Institute of China Shipbuilding Group and Jinshan Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., and the preliminary planning was completed this year.

However, Honghu Shipbuilding Group Company completed the R&D and design of drilling ships in advance, and also obtained several orders for oil giants such as Shell Group, which suddenly caused great pressure on these domestic shipbuilding group companies.

The value of this project lies not only in the export value of about 3 billion US dollars, but also in the fact that this is the first time that a domestic company has exported such high-tech large-scale equipment to Europe, which is of epoch-making significance.

In the past, most of the domestic exports to Europe were light industrial products, and even if there were some technical equipment, they were relatively backward in technology and only relied on price advantages to obtain orders.

On the other hand, China imports cutting-edge and sophisticated machinery and equipment from Europe, including some large-scale complete sets of equipment.

The sixth generation of drilling platforms belongs to the category of high-tech equipment, and Europe has not been able to manufacture such equipment on its own.

The fact that domestic companies were able to break through this technology before the Europeans and sell their products to Europe cannot be overstated.

After learning of this, the high-level made important instructions to the Ministry of Commerce, requiring them to make every effort to ensure the completion of this project and achieve a "zero breakthrough" in the export of high-tech equipment from China to Europe.

According to the information presented to the Ministry of Commerce by Honghu Shipbuilding Group Company, there is no obstacle to the completion of this project.

The technicians of the Royal Dutch Shell Group have come to the group company several times and have given high praise to the company's technology, and the price of the equipment is completely within the acceptable range of the Royal Dutch Shell Group, and even makes them feel a little surprised.

The pen and staff of the General Office of the Ministry of Commerce have been drafting publicity circulars for use on different occasions, and after the two sides signed the agreement, they have found the media to carry out large-scale publicity.

Of course, the media under Huaxing Group has also carried out various reports and publicity at home and abroad.
