On October 28th, the "Norway-China Seafood Summit 2025" was held in Qingdao as scheduled. On the eve of the 28th China International Fisheries Expo, this conference became the focus of the global seafood industry. Representatives from the Norwegian Seafood Council, Chinese importers, and e-commerce platforms discussed the future direction of Sino-Norwegian seafood trade. Data shows that China has become Norway's third-largest seafood export market, with a growth rate far exceeding that of Europe and the United States.

CFSE 2025: Global Salmon & Aquaculture Innovation Summit Qingdao, China | 29-31 Oct 2025 Organisers with 29-Year Track Record Hosted by China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (Agriculture Sub-Council) and supported by FAO and the Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences, CFSE has grown from a few thousand m² in 1996 to 140,000 m² today—the only event that covers the entire aquatic protein supply chain.

In the vast and unpredictable expanse of the ocean, where ships navigate through treacherous waters and face the fury of nature, a seemingly unassuming yet absolutely vital component stands as the silent guardian of maritime safety: the anchor chain. This unassuming piece of equipment, often overlooked by the untrained eye, is in fact the core of a ship's mooring system, acting as a resilient bond that secures the vessel against the relentless forces of turbulent winds and waves.

Recently, the world's first commercial underwater data center project powered by offshore wind power officially launched off the coast of Shanghai. As a new computing power solution for the AI era, this groundbreaking project provides a new reference path for the future development of green, low-carbon computing power, and also marks a new phase of "underwater" development for global intelligent computing infrastructure.

China is the world's largest anchor chain producer, exporting 352,000 tons of anchor chain in 2019, accounting for over 65% of the global market share. According to customs HS codes, anchor chains are primarily divided into two categories: 73158100 (Japanese-style link chain): 2019 exports of 132,000 tons, valued at US$193 million, and a unit price of approximately US$1,462 per ton; 73158200 (Other welded chain): 2019 exports of 219,700 tons, valued at US$325 million, and a unit price of approximately US$1,479 per ton.

In a landmark moment on September 20, 2025, at the Jiangnan Shipyard in Shanghai, a massive 35,000-ton steel plate was ceremoniously cut, marking the official start of construction on the world's first 35,000-ton nuclear-powered icebreaker and research vessel, "Xuelong 3". This event not only represents a significant breakthrough in China's shipbuilding and polar research sectors but also heralds the dawn of China's nuclear-powered icebreaker era, transforming the country from a follower to a key player with icebreaking capabilities in the Arctic shipping routes.

Recently, the global shipbuilding industry witnessed a major development—the merger process between Imabari Shipbuilding and Japan Shipbuilding Industry Corporation (JMU) has made significant progress. While this industry development has attracted widespread attention, as a company focused on anchor chain production, we will only present it objectively from a factual perspective, maintaining an independent stance and focusing on our own business development.

The world's first pure ammonia-powered demonstration vessel, the "Anhui", successfully completed its maiden voyage in Hefei, Anhui, marking a major breakthrough in the industrial application of ammonia fuel in the field of ships. "Ammonia Hui" was jointly developed by the Energy Research Institute of the Hefei Comprehensive National Science Center and its subsidiary Shenzhen Haixu New Energy Co., Ltd. The ship is equipped with a 200-kilowatt high-speed gas internal combustion generator set, two 100-kilowatt propulsion motors and a twin-propeller propulsion system, with a full load of 50 tons and a rated speed of 10 knots.

The Beijing International Marine Engineering Technology and Equipment Exhibition (CM for short) was held at the Beijing China International Exhibition Center (New Hall) from March 26 to 28, 2025.
