The weak construction sector in China is releasing a large pool of workers to enter the shipbuilding sector.

That’s bs. Most of the trades aren’t even interchangeable. The ship building market is fking hot right now with all the fpso, flng etc that all the yards are trying to tie up resources while the wages are all spiralling upwards. It’s going to take a long while to train guys building apartment towers to steel and pipe welders for the ship building industry. Even China don’t have unlimited resources for this.

True, shipyard workers need vocational training, and they need to be certified for the task given to them. Ordinary construction workers would find much difficulty re-learn a new skill related to ship building. Electricians and welders need years of training and experience to be proficient, and there are many grade levels that need certification.

Most of the construction workers are from rural areas and usually from farming backgrounds. They are likely returning to their home provinces taking up farming jobs again, or do some small businesses, or get another job at new emerging developing provinces far away from coasts, or even joining Chinese construction companies in foreign countries, especially on the Belt and Road projects.

China actually is facing some recruitment problems to get enough workers in some industrial sectors, epecially blue collar workers.

Yup. I need like 13,000 of them for my project in a year’s time, and it’s already a struggle locking down a facility and the labor brokers for it. The Koreans are going to be disappointed not being able to hire Chinese workers lol. They might even get competition for Vietnamese and south Asian blue collars from China.
Plus now even the white collars are naming their prices, most of their rates are more than the Japanese engineers in Japan now……

Special coating on the propeller to save fuel and reduce emission (VLCC = Very Large Crude Carrier):
The bionic skin on the propeller saved about 2 percent of the crude carrier's fuel consumption, according to media reports. It was also estimated that 1.5 percent of energy would be saved on average within a 2.5-year maintenance cycle.

According to such energy consumption, a VLCC is estimated to save more than 300 tonnes of fuel each year, achieving direct economic benefits of over 1 million yuan (about 140,000 U.S. dollars) and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by more than 900 tonnes.
