China Ship Design & Research Center and TECHNOLOG Services Partner for Green Shipbuilding

China Ship Design & Research Center (CSDC) and TECHNOLOG Services of Germany have signed a strategic cooperation agreement to advance green and smart shipbuilding.

As per the agreement, the collaboration will focus on four key areas: collaborative research and development (R&D), complementary design capabilities, joint market expansion, and incubation of innovative products.

By leveraging CSDC’s local R&D capabilities and TECHNOLOG’s international experience, the two entities aim to drive technological advancements in shipbuilding and offshore engineering.

The partnership aims to enter the global vessel market, share customer resources and industry networks, as well as co-develop new products that meet international standards, particularly in areas such as green shipping and intelligent marine structures.

CSDC specializes in ship design and green technologies, boasting national-level technical expertise in large commercial and specialized vessels. It is actively involved in major national research initiatives.

TECHNOLOG, on the other hand, is a maritime design and consulting firm known for its expertise in methanol, ammonia, hydrogen, LNG, and battery propulsion systems, hull form optimization, wind-assisted propulsion, waste heat recovery, and full-cycle technical support.

The collaboration between the two companies aligns with the IMO 2050 decarbonization goals and aims to drive the adoption of green alternative fuels while supporting sustainable shipping under the “dual carbon” strategy.
