On December 7, 2016, the China Shipbuilding Industry Association officially released the China Shipbuilding Capacity Utilization Monitoring Index (CCI) at the 2016 Guangzhou Maritime Exhibition. The China Shipbuilding Capacity Utilization Monitoring Index is the first index released by China’s shipbuilding industry, which reflects the degree of China’s shipbuilding capacity utilization and plays a predictive role in future trends. The release time of the China Shipbuilding Capacity Utilization Monitoring Index is scheduled to be around the 20th of each quarter. After calculation, the monitoring index of China’s shipbuilding capacity utilization in 2015 was 644 points, and the index in the third quarter of 2016 was 607 points.
Since the 2008 financial crisis, the international shipbuilding market has entered a long period of continuous adjustment and downturn, with overcapacity and insufficient demand becoming the main contradictions that constrain the development of China’s shipbuilding industry. In order to implement the spirit of relevant documents of the State Council and the requirements of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to strengthen the dynamic monitoring and analysis of shipbuilding industry capacity, the China Shipbuilding Industry Association organized units such as the China Shipbuilding Industry Economy and Market Research Center and relevant experts in the industry to conduct research and compilation of the China Shipbuilding Capacity Utilization Monitoring Index for two years.
The China Shipbuilding Capacity Utilization Monitoring Index fully considers the production capacity characteristics of China’s shipbuilding industry, selects several main factors that affect the actual utilization of shipbuilding capacity, and constructs an indicator system, effectively solving the problem of difficult unified and effective measurement of China’s shipbuilding capacity. At the same time, it can make predictions for future capacity utilization, which is conducive to a practical and timely understanding of China’s shipbuilding capacity actual utilization, and for government policy decision-making Provide reference for enterprise production and operation as well as various sectors of society.
