Components like propulsion system, automation and control systems are the most important parts. What is the % of local parts in terms of $ value?
Europeans have 100 years experience in this industry. CSSC Use proven supply chain to get into business. It speeds up the long certification process required for commercial aircraft & cruise ships.

Customers would not want to take on the risk of new suppliers for critical systems like Aircraft's engine or navigation system or cruise ship's propulsion system..

control system , propulsion have domestic replacement. so not a big issue..

this is first cruiser ship build in Asia. so CSSC didn't want to take any risk. second ship has approved and steel cutting started too. localization will increase further .. as i said above, CSSC called for local supply chain and integration ..

What is the % of local parts in terms of $ value?
CSSC didn't reveal much details .. i will definitely post on forum if get any information ..

China has come to its present stage by being prudent, rational, patient, and methodical.
you don't take on such a mammoth first-time-ever project by going all-indigenous in the entire design, supply chain, and construction.
learn to walk one step at a time, eat your rice mouthful by mouthful, and don't bite off more than you could chew.
to lament and critique China for only using 60% indigenous products is simply Hubris and plain stupidity. After all, China is not like In..a
which talks and boasts constantly but only hot air comes out.

what is up with all these questions about localization on cruise ship? It's a cruise ship. If China get sanctioned and can't build it for a while, that's not a big deal. Until then, they made great progress in building it and they will localize parts over time.

for a combined diesel-electric and diesel-mechanical (CODED) for icebreakers, filed by the 708th Institute.

Propulsion is provided by a centerline propeller and a pair of flank azipods, with the centerline propeller directly connected to diesel engines and the azipods driven by diesel generators. This arrangement provides for excellent low-speed maneuverability.
