The shipbuilding industry is a vital component of China's national economy, which not only provides equipment for marine resource development but also offers essential infrastructure for global trade. From January to April 2021, global orders for large container ships reached 6.361 million compensated gross tons (CGT), with China accounting for approximately 50% of the market share. The maritime shipping industry serves as a critical element for China's participation in international division of labor and the formation of global competitive advantages. Distinct from other transportation modes, maritime shipping boasts large capacity, long-distance coverage, cost-effectiveness, and low-carbon environmental benefits, making it the predominant mode of transportation in international trade. The development level and convenience of maritime shipping have become crucial factors influencing a nation's cost advantages in global competition, representing an essential component for countries to engage in international division of labor and establish competitive advantages.
