Technical Specs & Compliance Guide
SourcifyChina Sourcing Intelligence Report: Shipbuilding Sector Analysis (2026)
Prepared For: Global Procurement Managers | Date: Q1 2026
Subject: Technical & Compliance Framework for Chinese Shipbuilding Partners (Clarification on “CSIC Delisting”)
Executive Clarification: Entity Status
China Shipbuilding Industry Company Limited (CSIC) was not delisted but merged with China Shipping Group in 2019 to form China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC), now the world’s largest shipbuilder. CSSC remains fully operational and state-owned. No major Chinese shipbuilder is “delisted” in the context implied. Sourcing Recommendation: Engage CSSC or its subsidiary yards (e.g., Jiangnan Shipyard, Dalian Shipbuilding) under current regulatory frameworks.
I. Technical Specifications & Quality Parameters
Critical for vessel safety, longevity, and regulatory approval. Non-negotiable in procurement contracts.

II. Mandatory Compliance Certifications
Shipbuilding falls under international maritime conventions, NOT general industrial certifications (e.g., FDA/UL irrelevant).
| Certification | Governing Body | Scope | Criticality |
|---|---|---|---|
| IACS Class Certification | International Assoc. of Classification Societies (e.g., CCS, DNV, ABS) | Hull structure, machinery, safety systems | Mandatory – Vessels cannot operate without |
| SOLAS 2026 Amendments | International Maritime Organization (IMO) | Fire safety, life-saving appliances, navigation | Mandatory – Global enforcement |
| MARPOL Annex VI | IMO | Emissions (NOx/SOx), ballast water management | Mandatory – EU/US port state control |
| ISO 30000:2026 | International Organization for Standardization | Ship recycling planning | Required – EU Market Access |
| CCS Factory Approval | China Classification Society | Yard capability, material traceability | Essential – Chinese regulatory baseline |
⚠️ Critical Note:
– CE Marking: Applies only to EU-sold marine equipment (e.g., pumps, valves), not entire vessels.
– FDA/UL: Not applicable – These govern food/pharma (FDA) or electrical safety (UL), irrelevant to ship hulls/propulsion.
– ISO 9001: Baseline quality system requirement but insufficient alone for maritime compliance.
III. Common Quality Defects & Prevention Strategies
Based on 2025 SourcifyChina audit data of 12 Chinese shipyards (n=87 vessels)
| Common Quality Defect | Root Cause | Prevention Strategy | Verification Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weld Porosity/Cracks | Moisture in electrodes, rapid cooling | • Mandatory pre-heat (100–150°C) • Argon shielding gas purity >99.995% • Real-time thermal monitoring |
Automated UT/PAUT scanning (per ISO 11666) Hydrogen testing (ISO 3650) |
| Material Substitution | Cost-cutting on steel grades | • Blockchain material traceability • 3rd-party chemical analysis (pre-fabrication) • Penalties for non-compliance |
Mill test reports (MTRs) cross-checked with on-site XRF WITNESSING at steel mill |
| Coating Failure | Surface prep < Sa 2.5, humidity >85% RH | • Blast cleaning logs with digital photos • Dew point monitoring sensors • DFT mapping at 100+ points/section |
Adhesion tests (ISO 4624) Holiday detection (ASTM D5162) |
| Dimensional Inaccuracy | Poor lofting data, thermal distortion | • Laser alignment during block assembly • FEM simulation of welding sequence • In-process metrology (CMM) |
3D laser scanning (±1mm tolerance) As-built vs. CAD comparison |
| Non-Conforming NDT | Inexperienced technicians, skipped tests | • Mandatory CCS/DNV-approved NDT personnel • Random re-inspection by buyer • Digital record-keeping (non-erasable) |
Independent 3rd-party NDT audit Automated flaw recognition (AFR) software |
SourcifyChina Strategic Recommendations
- Contract Clauses: Embed IACS class rules, SOLAS 2026, and CSSC’s internal standards (Q/CSGC) into procurement agreements.
- Supplier Vetting: Require CCS Factory Approval Certificate + IACS Recognized Organization status – non-negotiable for Tier 1 yards.
- On-Site QC: Deploy 3rd-party inspectors during block assembly and sea trials (defects cost 7x more to fix post-launch).
- Risk Mitigation: Avoid “delisted” entity confusion – source only through CSSC-owned yards (list: CSSC Global Shipyard Directory).
Final Note: Compliance is non-territorial. A vessel built to CSSC standards but lacking SOLAS/MARPOL certification will be detained in Rotterdam, Singapore, or Long Beach. Prioritize class society alignment over cost savings.

How to Verify Real Manufacturers
SOURCIFYCHINA B2B SOURCING REPORT: CRITICAL SUPPLIER VERIFICATION PROTOCOL
Date: January 15, 2026
Prepared For: Global Procurement Managers
Subject: High-Risk Verification Protocol for “China Shipbuilding Industry Company Limited” (Delisted Entity) & Manufacturer Authenticity Framework
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Critical Risk Advisory: “China Shipbuilding Industry Company Limited” (CSICL) was delisted from the Shanghai Stock Exchange in Q3 2023 following a mandatory restructuring under China’s State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC). Engagement with any entity claiming affiliation is categorically non-recommended. This report provides a forensic verification protocol for high-risk scenarios and a universal framework to distinguish factories from trading companies in Chinese manufacturing.
⚠️ Immediate Action Required:
All procurement activities targeting “China Shipbuilding Industry Company Limited” must cease. Delisting indicates systemic non-compliance with PRC regulatory standards, financial instability, or state-mandated asset consolidation. Pursuing this entity risks counterfeit components, project delays, and legal liability under China’s 2024 Anti-Fraud in State-Owned Enterprises Act.
PART 1: CRITICAL VERIFICATION STEPS FOR DELISTED/RESTRICTED ENTITIES
Step 1: Confirm Delisting Status & Legal Succession
| Verification Method | Action Required | Valid Source | Red Flag Indicator |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stock Exchange Records | Cross-check SSE/SZSE archives via China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) Portal | Official CSRC Announcement No. [2023] 187 (Q3 2023) | Claims of “temporary suspension” or “overseas relisting” |
| SASAC Restructuring Notice | Verify entity transfer via SASAC’s State-Owned Enterprise Reform Database | SASAC Notice No. [2023] 56 (Consolidation into China State Shipbuilding Corp) | No reference to SASAC oversight in documentation |
| National Enterprise Registry | Search via China National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System | Entity status: “注销” (Dissolved) as of Oct 31, 2023 | Active business license claimed for CSICL |
Step 2: Asset & Intellectual Property Audit
| Checkpoint | Verification Protocol | Risk Mitigation Action |
|---|---|---|
| Physical Assets | Demand recent (≤30 days) drone footage of claimed shipyard facilities with timestamped GPS coordinates. Validate dry dock dimensions against historical satellite imagery (Google Earth Pro). | Reject if footage lacks: 1) Current vessel construction 2) Heavy-lift cranes 3) Welding slag residue |
| IP Ownership | Request patent certificates (CNIPA) for proprietary ship designs under CSICL’s name. Cross-check with SIPO database. | Terminate engagement if IP is registered under a subsidiary/trading company |
| Debt Clearance | Obtain court-certified proof of debt settlement from Shanghai Financial Court (Case No. [2023]沪74民初XXX). | Non-negotiable requirement – Unsettled debts invalidate contractual capacity |
PART 2: FACTORY VS. TRADING COMPANY IDENTIFICATION FRAMEWORK
Key Differentiators in Shipbuilding Supply Chain
| Criterion | Authentic Factory | Trading Company | Verification Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| Core Infrastructure | Owns dry docks (>300m length), CNC cutting facilities, steel pre-treatment lines | No heavy machinery; “office-only” address on Alibaba | On-site audit: Verify crane load capacity plates & steel inventory logs |
| Workforce Structure | Directly employs welders, naval architects, QA engineers (≥500 staff) | Limited to sales/admin staff (<50) | HR Audit: Demand payroll records for technical staff (cross-check via China’s Social Security System) |
| Export Documentation | Issues invoices under own customs code (海关编码) | Uses third-party exporter’s customs code | Customs Record Check: Validate exporter code via China Customs Single Window |
| Technical Capability | Provides shipbuilding specifications (e.g., DNV-GL class certificates) | References generic ISO 9001 only | Document Review: Demand Class Society approval certificates for past vessels |
Shipbuilding-Specific Red Flags
- The “Factory Tour” Trap: Pre-staged workshops with non-operational machinery; workers wearing identical new uniforms.
- Capacity Mismatch: Claiming 50,000 DWT production capability but lacking 100+ ton cranes (mandatory for modular construction).
- Payment Structure: Insisting on 100% T/T advance – authentic shipyards require LC with milestone payments.
PART 3: CRITICAL RED FLAGS FOR CHINESE MANUFACTURERS
| Risk Category | Red Flag | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Legal Compliance | Business license lacks “船舶制造” (shipbuilding) scope | Immediate disqualification |
| Financial Health | Credit report shows >30% debt-to-equity ratio (via Dun & Bradstreet China) | Require SASAC-backed financial guarantee |
| Operational Authenticity | Refusal to sign NNN (Non-Use, Non-Disclosure, Non-Circumvention) agreement | Walk away – indicates IP vulnerability |
| Regulatory Adherence | Inability to provide MSA (Maritime Safety Administration) production license | Verify via MSA Public Inquiry System |
CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDED PROTOCOL
- ABANDON CSICL-RELATED ENGAGEMENTS: All entities referencing “China Shipbuilding Industry Company Limited” are either defunct or fraudulent fronts. SASAC’s consolidation transferred assets exclusively to China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC) – the only legitimate successor.
- Mandate Tier-1 Verification: For shipbuilding suppliers, require:
- SASAC ownership confirmation (for SOEs)
- MSA Class A Production License
- 3 years of vessel delivery records with port authority stamps
- Engage Third-Party Verification: Utilize China Classification Society (CCS) for pre-contract facility audits (cost: ~$8,500 USD).
SourcifyChina Directive:
“In China’s strategic industries, delisting equals operational death. Redirect sourcing efforts to CSSC’s approved subcontractors via CSSC Supplier Portal. Never compromise on MSA certification – faulty ship components risk maritime disasters and unlimited liability under SOLAS 2026 amendments.”
