Recently, Zhang Jiandong, director-general of Oceanic Administration of
Shandong Province, said at a press conference held by the Information Office of
Shandong Provincial People's Government that in 2019, Shandong's total marine
output value reached 1.46 trillion yuan, continuing to rank second in China,
accounting for 16.3% of China's total. In Shandong's marine sector, the scale
of marine fishery, marine biomedical industry, marine salt industry, marine
electric power industry and marine transportation industry all ranked first in
China.
Zhang said that the marine biomedical industry is one of the most promising
strategic emerging industries in China. During the 13th Five-Year Plan period
(2016-2020), Shandong Province has stepped up the research and development of
innovative marine drugs, set up "China Blue Drug Bank Development Fund" with a
total scale of 5 billion yuan, established Shandong Marine Drugs Manufacturing
Industry Innovation Center, and built six product R & D platforms for modern
marine drugs, modern marine Chinese medicine, etc. GV971, a new Chinese drug
for Alzheimer's disease independently developed by academician Guan Huashi's
team, has been approved and put on the market, becoming the 14th marine drug in
the world and the 2nd in China. Qingdao has built the world's largest seaweed
biological products industrial base, and its alginate production capacity ranks
first in the world. Yantai Dongcheng Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd. has become
the world's largest manufacturer of raw materials of chondroitin sulfate and
the only domestic supplier of chondroitin sulfate injection.
"We will redouble our efforts to develop advanced equipment and promote marine
development to move towards the deep sea," said Zhang, adding that marine
engineering equipment manufacturing industry is a new strategic industry in
Shandong's marine industry system. In the past five years, Shandong has
accelerated the development of high-end marine engineering equipment
manufacturing industry, and initially built three major marine manufacturing
bases for ship building and repair, marine heavy industry and offshore oil
equipment manufacturing. Jiaolong, Xiangyanghong 01, Kexue, Hailong, Qianlong
and other deep-sea marine equipment with independent intellectual property
rights have been put into use, effectively expanding the breadth and depth of
marine development. Blue Whale 1 and Blue Whale 2, ultra-deep-water
semisubmersible drilling rigs independently designed and built by CIMC Raffles
have successfully undertaken the task of trial production of combustible ice in
the South China Sea, bringing China's deep-water oil and gas exploration and
development capacity into the world's advanced ranks.
In addition, the marine transportation industry has become an important pillar
industry in the construction of a modern marine industry system in Shandong. By
strengthening coordinated land and sea development and integrating coastal port
resources, Shandong has established Shandong Port Group, thus forming a coastal
port group development pattern with Qingdao Port, Yantai Port and Rizhao Port
as the core and Weihai Port, Weifang Port, Dongying Port, Binzhou Port and
other important regional ports as the supplement, opening up navigation with
more than 700 ports in over 180 countries and regions in the world. In 2019,
the cargo throughput of coastal ports in the province reached 1.61 billion
tons, and the container throughput 31 million TEUs, the total of the two
ranking second in China's coastal provinces. The phase I and phase II projects
of Qingdao Port's world-leading fully automated terminal have successfully
completed construction and were put into operation. Qingdao Port also won the
honorary titles of "National Green Port" and "2019 Asia Pacific Green Port".
