Five representatives of NPC and two members of CPPCC from China State Shipbuilding Corporation, based on the shipbuilding industry, actively make suggestions.
Protect and develop the ship repair industry
At present, China has become the world's largest ship repairing country, accounting for 40% of the world market share.
Dong Qiang, a member of CPPCC, former party secretary of CSSC, suggested that the customs supervision of ship repair and scrap steel be changed from "general trade" to "except ship repair".
Dong Qiang said that China's ship repair industry earns US $ 3 billion in foreign exchange annually and provides 50,000 direct jobs.
The protection and development of the ship repair industry will play a very practical role in ensuring the implementation of the "six stability" work, especially in stabilizing employment and foreign trade.
Increase oil reserve capacity
The fall in international oil prices this year has provided a rare window for China to increase its crude oil reserves.
Liu Zheng, representative of NPC, former Chairman of CSSC, proposed to speed up the construction of offshore floating oil storage bases and improve China's oil reserve capacity.
Promote the development of cruise industry
The cruise industry is known as "the gold industry floating on the golden waters" and has also become one of the key concerns of the delegates of two sessions on the shipping sector.
Hu Keyi, member of CPPCC, proposed to strengthen the top-level planning of the cruise industry and raise it to the level of national strategy.
A series of support policies have been formulated to solve the problem in the development of the cruise industry.
