China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC) 704 Institute won a bulk order for 32 shaft power meters (torque meters) to be installed on 8 large LNG carriers (175,000 m³) being built by JN Shipyard. This is the first time a domestically made high-end shaft power meter has been ordered in volume for large LNG ships, beating out international brands in open bidding.

so this is important for safety monitoring, energy efficiency & predicative maintenance. Very interesting to see another area where CSSC broke through.

China still trails massively in VLGC and VLAC, one of the highest value ships in the world.

From article: According to Clarkson Research, a British shipbuilding and shipping market analysis firm, a total of 36 VLGCs and VLACs were ordered this year as of the 25th, already accounting for 63% of last year's total orders (57 vessels). By country, the breakdown is 27 vessels from Korea, 8 from China, and 1 from Japan.

The Koreans are being forced to concentrate on such ships to remain profitable. It plays into China's strategy of taking market share gradually.

Korean's reliance on specialized LNG ship building technology could be at a risk of following Japanese footsteps. China has already mastered construction of LNG ships recently, and their overall advantage (cost/finance/others) will attract more orders. The only thing that helps the Koreans in short future is that Chinese shipyards are mostly booked for a long period and ship owners will need to wait in line.

In long term, the Koreans will face fierce competition in LNG ship orders from China, unless they can improve their cost control and keep LNG ship construction technology upgrade.
