According to the China Shipbuilding Group news: Recently, the “Twelfth Five-Year” National Science and Technology Support Program “Key Technology Development and Prototype Development for Marine Medium-Speed ​​Diesel Engines” was launched at China National Shipbuilding Corporation. The project is divided into three topics, which are jointly undertaken by Hudong Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd., Ningbo Zhongce Power Electromechanical Group Co., Ltd. and Shaanxi Diesel Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. The convening of the conference marked the official launch of the National Science and Technology Support Program “Key Technology Development and Prototype Development for Marine Medium Speed ​​Diesel Engines”.

At the project meeting, Hudong Heavy Machinery, Shaanxi Chai Heavy Industry and China Strategic Group reported on their work and future plans. After hearing the report, the relevant person in charge of the High Technology Center of the Ministry of Science and Technology of the Ministry of Science and Technology affirmed the preliminary work of the project and asked all units to make persistent efforts to continue to do a good job in the future. In order to better carry out the project of “Key Technology Development and Prototype Development of Marine Medium Speed ​​Diesel Engine”, the meeting also discussed the adoption of the project management and management methods, so as to implement management according to the method in the future.

The project “Key Technology Development and Prototype Development of Marine Medium Speed ​​Diesel Engine” belongs to the theme of “Advanced Carrier Technology – Ship Priority”. The overall goal of this theme is to face the major demand of “safe transportation, efficient transportation, green transportation and harmonious transportation”. The strategic, cutting-edge and forward-looking technical problems of the transportation system will overcome the core technology of low-carbon and efficient transportation equipment, promote the strategic transformation of low-carbon and efficient transportation equipment, improve the safety and transportation efficiency of integrated transportation, and build a combination of production, education and research. The Transportation Technology Innovation Alliance platform enhances the core competitiveness and sustainable development capabilities of China's transportation industry. The development of marine medium-speed diesel engines has been included in the list of key projects on this topic. Since high-power medium-speed diesel engines are high-tech products, foreign countries restrict the transfer and export of related products and technologies to China, to overcome this core technology and improve our ships. The market competitiveness of the industry, the Ministry of Science and Technology arranged for the project to be launched in priority in 2012, the research period is from January 2012 to December 2015.
