On January 4th, it was learned from the Ministry of Natural Resources that China’s marine economy is showing a strong development momentum. The ocean plays a more prominent role in ensuring national energy, water resources, food supply, and other aspects. The ocean has become the main force for increasing oil and gas reserves and production. In 2024, the proportion of newly added offshore crude oil production to the national crude oil production will remain above 60%, and the cumulative grid connected installed capacity of offshore wind power will account for over 50% globally. In 2024, the production of seawater desalination is expected to exceed 400 million tons, and the industrial cooling seawater consumption will exceed 180 billion tons. The total amount of marine aquatic products has steadily increased, ranking first in the world for 35 consecutive years, becoming a true “blue granary”. The market share of ships and marine equipment accounts for over 50% of the global market, with both sea freight volume and container throughput exceeding one-third of the global total, providing important driving force for global economic growth.
