Luda Technology Group Partners with Leading Chinese Shipbuilders for Green Shipping Innovations

Luda Technology Group Limited Partners with China's Top Shipbuilders

On September 9, 2025, Luda Technology Group Limited, also known as Luda Technology, announced a groundbreaking collaboration with key players in the Chinese shipbuilding sector. This partnership aims to propel the green shipping agenda forward, focusing on localized supply chain development and high-end manufacturing.

Strategic Partnerships

Luda Technology's subsidiary, Luda (Taian) Industrial Company Limited, has entered into a series of strategic agreements with several prominent shipbuilders, including the China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC), Haiting (Nantong) Shipbuilding Company, and COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry Company. The core of this alliance revolves around research and development (R&D), as well as the production of specialized flanges and pipe fittings necessary for ammonia-powered vessels.

The Push for Green Shipping

The global shipping industry is undergoing significant changes, driven by new environmental regulations set forth by organizations like the International Maritime Organization (IMO). With a clear path towards sustainability, the shift towards vessels powered by clean fuels such as ammonia, hydrogen, and methanol is critical in this transition to a greener future.

Luda Taian is committed to innovation, owning a full suite of certifications from respected international classification societies including DNV, ABS, CCS, LR, and BV. This positions the company as a leading provider of high-performance flange and piping solutions needed for the next generation of vessels.

Collaborating Towards Innovation

Under the newly established agreements, Luda Taian will serve as a primary supplier to the selected shipbuilders, offering a comprehensive range of certified products for diverse high-value vessel types being constructed, including LNG carriers, ultra-large container ships, chemical tankers, and luxury cruise liners. Additionally, the partnership intends to set up joint technical R&D teams focused on new material applications, advanced process innovation, and digital supply chain management. The aim is to meet the industry's demands for greener and smarter shipping technologies.

Given ammonia’s corrosive nature and associated hydrogen embrittlement risks, traditional carbon and stainless steel materials often fall short. Luda Taian is proactively working on the development and testing of ammonia-resistant materials, which includes high-nickel alloys and specialized stainless steels. Alongside these advancements, the company has established state-of-the-art laboratories that facilitate thorough testing and lifecycle assessments of new materials.

Leadership and Vision

Mr. Sun Yanru, R&D Director at Luda Taian, highlighted the evolving standards for components in green-powered vessels, stating, "We recognize that these vessels are shaping the demands for essential components. To maintain our competitive edge, we must engage with premier partners on joint R&D projects that help define the technical benchmarks for next-gen products."

Luda Technology's CEO, Mr. Ma Biu, echoed this sentiment, noting that this collaboration is pivotal in transforming the company’s role from a conventional component manufacturer to a full-fledged technology solution provider. "Investing in R&D is essential for us to ensure that every product meets rigorous international standards. Together with our partners, we aim to define the technical specifications for tomorrow's green vessels, placing Chinese manufacturing at the forefront of the global high-end marine equipment market."

Conclusion

This partnership signifies a critical advancement in both the localization of China's shipbuilding supply chain and the demonstration of Luda Technology's expertise in high-end metal products. Luda Technology is poised to take significant strides toward supporting green shipping endeavors both in China and globally. As the industry continues to evolve, Luda Technology commits to intensifying collaborations that can further bolster the development of sustainable shipping measures.
