元旦前，在大连海发船业的车间里，老石蹲在刚铺好胶衣的船模旁，粗糙的手指轻轻抚过平滑的船体表面，眼神里透着股钻研劲 儿。为了这艘船，他半个月里往船厂跑了好几趟。 在大连市长海县獐子岛镇干了20多年"海碰子"的船东石永文，盼了半辈子的"新坐骑"终于到手了！这一次，老石订了一艘9米长的 玻璃钢渔船。 "老把式"为啥要换"新坐骑"？石永文的回答干脆利落："安全、环保，也省钱啊！"渔船是老石最信赖的"老伙计"。但随着年岁的增 长，他对那几艘"老伙计"越来越不放心，"以前开木船的时候，遇上大风浪心里直打鼓"。 老石的信心，不仅来自账本，更来自对大连海发船业的信赖。就在几个月前，这里还是梭鱼湾畔闲置的老厂房，如今却已是一派机 器轰鸣的现代化生产场景。走进这个占地约1.4万平方米的"新车间"，从五轴雕刻到模具加工，从喷涂积层到船体加固，涵盖了船艇制 造的211项标准工艺流程。 "我们的目标，就是让渔民兄弟用上最安全、最耐用的'大连造'。"厂长王锐指着不远处码头上停泊的几艘待交付渔船，话语里透着 自豪。 大连海发船业成立以来，全力推动"木改钢"政策落地。目前，厂里已有5艘"木改钢"渔船的订单在手，不仅长海县的渔民抢着订， 连营 ...

Core Viewpoint - The glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) fishing boats industry in China is poised for significant growth due to the aging of existing wooden and small steel fishing vessels, with government initiatives promoting the replacement and modernization of fishing equipment. The number of GFRP fishing boats is expected to increase to 12,000 by 2025, representing a 20% year-on-year growth [1][14]. Industry Overview - GFRP fishing boats account for only about 2% of the total fishing vessels in China, compared to 80-90% in developed fishing nations [1][14]. - The existing wooden and small steel fishing vessels are over 50% aged, necessitating urgent updates and replacements [1][14]. - The Liaoning province has initiated a plan to promote large-scale equipment updates in the fishing industry, focusing on phasing out old wooden boats and enhancing subsidies for new steel or composite material boats [1][14]. Economic Aspects - GFRP fishing boats exhibit excellent energy-saving capabilities, with insulation performance leading to ice-saving rates of 20% to 40% and fuel savings of 10% to 15% compared to steel boats [4][5]. - The lifespan of GFRP boats can reach up to 50 years, significantly longer than the 10-15 years typical for steel boats, which require regular maintenance [4][5]. Industry Development History - The development of GFRP fishing boats in China began in the 1970s, with the first boat constructed in 1974 [7][8]. - The industry faced challenges in the 2000s due to quality issues and incidents, but recent government support has led to significant advancements in construction capabilities [7][8]. Industry Chain - The upstream of the GFRP fishing boat industry includes raw materials such as liquid synthetic resins and glass fibers, which are crucial for the durability and safety of the boats [8]. - The midstream involves the production and manufacturing of GFRP boats, while the downstream encompasses their applications in freshwater and marine aquaculture, marine capture, and seedling production [8]. Competitive Landscape - The GFRP fishing boat market in China is primarily dominated by state-owned enterprises, followed by military and private enterprises, with the former holding the largest market share [16][17]. - Key players in the industry include Jianglong Shipbuilding, Weihai Zhongfu Xigang Shipbuilding, and Qinhuangdao Yaohua Equipment Group [16][17]. Future Trends - The demand for GFRP fishing boats is expected to grow continuously due to the booming marine economy and increasing consumer interest in marine tourism [21]. - The industry is moving towards automation and smart technology integration, enhancing production efficiency and product quality [22]. - There is a growing emphasis on green development, with a focus on using recyclable materials and renewable energy technologies to reduce environmental impact [23][24].
