Ships serve as the primary means of transportation in international trade, with demand being global in nature. However, shipbuilding manufacturing is concentrated in a few countries due to comparative advantages in factor endowments. The current state of supply and demand in the shipbuilding industry facilitates the global circulation of shipbuilding products. Consequently, while accessing global markets, shipbuilding enterprises also face competition from around the world.

  The management of shipbuilding enterprises involves various aspects including design management, cost management, material management, component management, production site management, and personnel management, presenting significant management challenges and demonstrating strong industrial interconnectedness. This complexity arises because shipbuilding enterprises typically cannot commence production only after all technical documentation is fully prepared. Instead, they engage in concurrent processes of designing, producing, and modifying. Moreover, strict temporal constraints and completeness requirements exist among product components. The entire project advancement process is interlinked and inseparable. This necessitates enterprises to possess high levels of management proficiency and intensity, along with senior management personnel well-versed in the entire shipbuilding process and technology. Additionally, close attention must be paid to the collaboration status with associated enterprises within the industry.

  Therefore, the construction of a large vessel requires establishing close cooperative relationships with multiple shipbuilding product suppliers. Seizing this opportunity, CnOpenData launches the Directory of Shipbuilding Product Suppliers in China data. This dataset aggregates supplier information from two distinct sources, providing data support for international trade and related research.
