专访湖北省社科院长江所副所长赵霞：进入“十五五”，湖北如何重塑内河船舶产业先发优势？

Core Viewpoint - The Hubei Province aims to enhance its shipbuilding industry by establishing a national industrial cluster for shipbuilding and marine engineering, targeting an industrial output value exceeding 130 billion yuan by 2027, with an annual growth rate of over 15% [1][4]. Group 1: Development Goals and Strategies - The "Hubei Province Work Plan for Promoting the Transformation and High-Quality Development of the Inland Shipbuilding Industry" outlines a target of over 130 billion yuan in industrial output by 2027, with a focus on maintaining a leading market share in electric ship core power systems [1][4]. - The plan emphasizes the development of high-value-added vessels such as direct river-sea ships, high-performance yachts, and luxury cruise ships, alongside the establishment of Wuhan as the "Ship and Marine Design Capital" [4][8]. - Hubei's shipbuilding industry is expected to benefit from a significant market opportunity due to the large-scale green upgrade of over 110,000 existing inland vessels in the Yangtze River basin, creating a trillion-yuan market [4][6]. Group 2: Challenges and Shortcomings - Hubei's shipbuilding industry faces challenges in industrial chain collaboration, infrastructure support, and market competition, including insufficient leadership from major enterprises and reliance on external suppliers [6][11]. - The promotion of green vessels is heavily dependent on the establishment of a comprehensive supply network for charging and refueling, which is crucial for market demand [6][11]. - The industry must address the need for stronger "chain master" cultivation, parallel development of application scenarios and infrastructure, and deepening regional and international cooperation [7][11]. Group 3: Collaborative Framework - The four key cities—Wuhan, Yichang, Jingzhou, and Huanggang—are expected to form a well-coordinated "fleet" with clearly defined roles to enhance Hubei's competitive advantage in the shipbuilding sector [11][15]. - Wuhan will serve as the design and innovation center, focusing on high-value vessels and core systems, while Yichang will act as a demonstration area for green vessels [11][12]. - Jingzhou will concentrate on standardized and mass-produced ship manufacturing, and Huanggang will focus on the green and intelligent transformation of traditional shipbuilding [12][15]. Group 4: Innovation and Market Integration - The establishment of a public information service platform for the shipbuilding supply chain in Hubei will facilitate collaboration among over 1,100 enterprises, enhancing procurement efficiency and reducing costs [14]. - The cities are encouraged to jointly develop green shipping demonstration routes along the Yangtze River, promoting a unified "Hubei Shipbuilding" brand that integrates design and manufacturing solutions [14][15]. - The strategic positioning of Wuhan as the "Ship and Marine Design Capital" aims to attract top talent and create a complete innovation loop from basic research to engineering validation [10][15].
