Chinese shipbuilding industry
- Thread starter tphuang
- Start date
Greece is a fully commited member of NATO and embraced fully with EuroAtlanticism "till death". Cosco managed to purchase Piraeus port when they bid the highest, when EU forced the Greek state to sell out any national sovereignty because of debt crisis. But EU capitalist wolfpack caught sleeping because of their arrogance, and after the German KUKA robots purchase from Chinese enterprise they put "restrictions on strategic assets for sale that can be purchased from China", somekind of MOU. These assets are now for internal consume, like the 14 airports on Greek islands now belonging to the German state. Anyway trust me as a native, this enormous capital from merchant shipping flies to Luxemburg and Cayman islands without any significant impact to the local economy. Shipping companies enjoy special privileges from the state, such as-perhaps the global original- called voluntary taxation. In other words, shipowners pay taxes however they see fit at an amount they see it fit. Welcome to Greece lol
Slightly deviating from thread discussion.
Notice the area to the right of the fitting-out basin where CV-18 Fujian is currently docked. In particular, the assembly hall sheds circled in red:
Those are considered to be part of Jiangnan Shipyard, despite located right next to the Hudong-Zhonghua Shipyard new site (roughly divided by the red line):
This satellite imagery is taken sometime late last year or early this year, hence I suppose that the construction project in that area took place rather fast.
In the meantime, I do hope that we can see a further expanded production of newer DDGs from Jiangnan soon...

Talking about ship-building capacity:
Alarming Navy Intel Slide Warns Of China's 200 Times Greater Shipbuilding Capacity | The War Zone (2023-07-11)
The Office of Naval Intelligence is sounding the alarm about the huge gap in U.S. and Chinese shipbuilding capacity and its implications.
