THE SECRETS OF SUCCESS

摘要

It's no secret that China wants to be the world's top shipbuilder. That's spelled out clearly in China's National Medium and Long-Term Plan of the Shipbuilding Industry, issued in August 2006, which estimates that China's shipyard capacity will reach 17 million dwt by 2010 and become the No. 1 shipbuilding power by 2015. While these ships will bear "built in China" labels, much of the marine equipment onboard will have a European pedigree. Europe remains the cradle of marine equipment technology, with an annual turnover estimated at EURO 26 billion, with some 46% for export outside of Europe.
