In order to implement the "artificial intelligence" action, the Ministry of Transport and other four departments jointly issued the "Intelligent Shipping 2030 Action Plan" to systematically plan the blueprint for the development of intelligent shipping during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period. The plan aims to break the bottleneck of development and cultivate new quality productivity of shipping through the deep integration of cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence with the shipping industry. The plan sets two-phase targets for 2027 and 2030, and focuses on the four dimensions of technological research, application pilot, infrastructure and regulatory governance to deploy 11 key tasks, aiming to promote China's shipping from "parallel running" to "leading" in the world and provide solid support for the basic establishment of a transportation power in 2035.

On March 28, the "Far Sea Floating Island" (far-reaching sea all-weather resident floating research facility), a major national science and technology infrastructure undertaken by Shanghai Jiaotong University, was fully launched in Shanghai. This world's first super-large offshore scientific research platform adopts the innovative design of "semi-submersible double hull", and has the ability of 100-ton deep-sea equipment real-sea test and 10,000-meter deep-sea scientific research. It is expected that after completion in 2030, it will simultaneously serve the research needs of marine equipment, marine resources, marine science and other fields, provide a test platform for deep-sea mining, offshore oil and gas equipment, etc., and help resource development, marine ecological research and typhoon forecast accuracy. improve.

The third-phase expansion project of the ore terminal in Caofeidian Port, Tangshan Port, Hebei Province, has entered a comprehensive construction phase. Through the "micro-transformation" of the wharf, the project extends the coastline to the east by 120 meters, so that the total length of the berth reaches 910 meters, thus realizing the "two-wheel docking" mode of two 400000-ton ships berthing at the same time. After the transformation, the designed annual throughput capacity of the wharf will be increased to 37 million tons, which will greatly improve the efficiency of port operations and better serve the dense steel companies in the hinterland. It is an important measure for Tangshan Port to build a world-class comprehensive trade port and improve its comprehensive service capabilities.

The sea use of the fifth phase of the Nansha Port Area of Guangzhou Port has recently been approved by the State Council, marking a key breakthrough in this major national "14th Five-Year Plan" project. The total investment of the project is about 14.447 billion yuan, and four 200000-ton container berths and other facilities will be built, with an annual design capacity of 6.7 million TEUs. After the completion of the project, it will consolidate the status of Guangzhou Port as a container trunk port, enhance the international competitiveness of the port group in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and provide a strong impetus for Guangzhou to build an international shipping hub.

The first zero-carbon transport fleet in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River was formally established in Wuhan, Hubei Province on March 26, consisting of five pure electric container ships built by Huazhong Port and Shipping Group. The first ship "China Airlines Xinneng 1" has achieved nearly 100000 kilometers of zero-emission navigation, a single ship annual carbon reduction of 334 tons. The fleet will operate the inter-city green routes in the province in a high-density "daily shift" mode, and build a green water transport channel between the Han River and the Yangtze River, providing a new path for the green and intensive development of China's inland waterway.

On March 22, Guiping Hongxin Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. held a green intelligent ship commencement ceremony and signed contracts with three enterprises to build 19 new energy ships, with a total investment of about 0.336 billion yuan. This batch of ships includes methanol-powered distribution ships, pure electric-powered bulk carriers and LNG hybrid oil and chemical ships, all of which are the first batch of similar new energy ships in Guangxi. The project actively responds to the national "double carbon" strategy, which marks an important step in the green and intelligent ship industry of Guiping City, and will promote the transformation of Xijiang golden waterway to green and low carbon.

On March 23, 2025, the fifth large-scale Mark III Flex membrane LNG carrier "ARADA" built by Jiangnan Shipbuilding for Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) was successfully delivered four months ahead of schedule. This delivery marks another important achievement of this series of projects and demonstrates China's strength in the field of high-end clean energy equipment manufacturing. The ship has achieved a number of technological breakthroughs in the construction process, especially through the optimization of processes and innovative processes, creating a record for the shortest trial of this series of ships, significantly improving efficiency and reducing energy consumption, and winning high recognition from international customers.

On March 22, 2026, Premier Li Qiang attended the opening ceremony of the annual meeting of the China Development Forum and delivered a keynote speech. The speech deeply analyzed the complex changes in the current international situation and stressed that under the background of rising unilateralism and protectionism, cooperation and development forces are also growing. Premier Li Qiang put forward three core propositions: to create incremental markets through openness and technological innovation rather than competing for stocks; to look at competition with a positive attitude and promote benign competition and cooperation to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results; to strengthen confidence and take China's "Tenth Five-Year Plan" as the world New opportunities, committed to becoming the "cornerstone of certainty" of the world ".

The construction of the public wharf project in the East Flow Port Area of Chizhou Port is being accelerated. Through technological innovation and inverted construction period, it is planned to fully implement the "corridor-water combined transport" system in 2027. The coastline of the project is 650 meters long, and 4 5000-ton berths are planned to be constructed with a designed annual throughput of 21.8 million tons. At present, water and land construction are advancing simultaneously, and innovative designs such as bridge structures are used to enhance safety. After the completion of the project, the integrated operation of mines, corridors and ports will be realized, and the green logistics development of "ore does not fall to the ground and dust does not fly" will be promoted.

Recently, the "Yingkou-Shouguang-Gaoqing" container sea-river intermodal transport channel was officially opened, marking the addition of an efficient logistics channel to the "golden waterway" of Xiaoqing River. The channel adopts the seamless connection mode of "maritime inland river". The goods are transported from Yingkou Port to Shouguang Port by sea, and then directly to Gaoqing Port along the inland river of Xiaoqing River, forming a closed loop of the whole intermodal transport. This shortens the transit time, reduces the logistics cost, provides a more economical, green and stable transportation scheme for enterprises along the line, and effectively promotes the regional material circulation and the green transformation of "revolution to water.
