造船盛世,钢铁业如何跟进共舞

Can steel makers dance in the rhythm of the flourishing shipbuilding industry？

目前,全球造船业的订单,已经历了从欧洲到日本再到韩国的转移,下一个目标,业界一致认为非中国莫属。而事实也正如此,中国造船之势,越来越让韩日两个造船大国如坐针毡。与中国造船高涨的热情相比,钢铁业在船板方面则表现得不温不火,成了造船界抹不去的阴影。中国背负世界第一钢铁大国之名,却无法满足国内造船之需要,令人费解。但是,中国造船业需要钢铁行业的强力支持,因为只有实现了真正自足,甚至还能主导世界船板市场,那么世界第一造船大国和第一钢铁大国之誉,才会变得更加掷地有声。

Global shipbuilding orders have experienced a shift from Europe to Japan and then to South Korea, and the industry now undoubtedly agrees that the next country to come is China. The fact is true for the developing trend of Chinese shipbuilding has made the current two largest shipbuilding countries Japan and South Korea feel like sitting on thorns. However, in sharp contrast with the high zest of Chinese shipbuilding, steel industry ap- pears so calm casting a sort of shadow on the shipbuilding industry. As the world＇s largest iron and steel making country, China is unable to meet the demand of domestic shipbuilding industry. This is difficult to understand. However, the Chinese shipbuilding industry needs strong support from the steel making industry because only by being self-sufficient or even able to lead the world market in ship＇s steel supply can the world＇s No. 1 shipbuilding country and No.1 country become a rea ron and steel making worth.
