Is there any evidence of the US port tax on Chinese-built vessels having an effect on the shipbuilding industry in China?
The threats of tariffs, port fees from the U.S. on Chinese-built ships, and a slowing overall market for newbuilds have yet to chip away at China’s leadership in shipbuilding. The latest data from Clarkson Research points to China’s continued dominance while South Korea and others look for new strategies to take advantage of the uncertainties in the market.
Simulation models of floating nuclear power plants from academic paper(s). Posted by SOYO on Weibo.
Some comments from SOYO:
- These are old models, which has been around for 6 or 7 years.
- The reactor pressure vessel is a real big cylinder.
- This is the civilian nuclear power platform with the most publicly-available details. Since the platform is equipped with a large cylinder with a diameter of 17 meters - In other words, it indirectly confirms the military ship usage characteristics of the square box (reactor housing/containment structure).
TL; DR - It is almost certain that the unknown ship currently under construction at that particular drydock at Dalian is a military warship.
