2020年4月11日，汇舸集团董事长周洋携集团董事赵明珠、陈志远一行来到丹阳中核苏阀蝶阀有限公司，与丹阳中核苏阀董事长李慧聪，中核苏阀王冬志等公司高管共同对双方联合开发的LNG船用低温高压阀产品试验取得成功表示祝贺。

近年来，LNG船在全球环境保护的大趋势下，订单大幅增加，国内船舶行业纷纷进军LNG市场，但LNG船高技术含量、高附加值的特点，使得其门槛较高，LNG的研发、制造一直为欧洲、韩国等所垄断，中国LNG船业务在世界占比仍然很小。汇舸集团作为始终以海洋环境保护为宗旨，以技术创新引领产业变革的企业，一直关注LNG市场，并促进LNG核心技术及产品的国产化进程。

中核苏阀科技实业股份有限公司是一家集工业阀门研发、设计、制造及销售为一体的科技型制造企业，为石油、天然气、炼油、核电、电力、冶金、化工、造船、造纸、医药等行业提供阀门系统解决方案，并于1997年在深交所挂牌上市，成为中国阀门行业和中国核工业集团有限公司所属的首家上市企业。

中核苏阀拥有一批先进的生产制造设备和各类完善的检测设施。目前，已发展成为国内阀门行业中品种多、规格齐全、技术含量高的专业化工业阀门生产基地，拥有一系列质量体系证书、产品认证证书以及检测资质证书，是国内同行业中认证证书齐全，质量管理和检测手段先进的企业。中核苏阀先后通过了美国ABS、法国BV、挪威DNV和中国CCS船级社阀门制造的资格认证，并拥有国家核安全局授予核承压设备设计制造资格许可证。

汇舸集团在“坚持科技创新，立足海洋环保，开拓“邮气”业务“的公司战略，下，于2019年即开始与中核苏阀的战略合作，双方优势互补，共同开发LNG船用低温高压阀产品。目前，中核苏阀与汇舸集团为LNG船联合开发的高压低温球阀成功实现了2000次低温循环试验，成为国内唯一一家完成此类试验的企业，并已部分投入商用。

汇舸集团与中核苏阀在双方合作取得实质重大进展的同时，积极布局国际LNG市场，预计将在2020年第三季度完成LNG船用低温高压阀产品的取证工作，并大力开拓国际LNG航运市场。

On April 11, 2020, Jacky Zhou, President of ContiOcean Group, together with Zhao Mingzhu and Jerry Chen, directors of the board, arrived in Danyang CNNC Sufa Butterfly Valve Co., Ltd. to congratulate the success of LNG marine low temperature and high pressure valve product tests with Li Huicong, chairman of Danyang CNV, Wang Zhidong and other accompanies.

In recent years, in connection with the general trend of global environmental protection, LNG ship orders have increased substantially, domestic marine enterprises have entered the LNG market one after another. However, due to the nature of high-tech content as well as the high added value of LNG ships, the threshold limits number of players of this industry. The research and development and manufacturing of LNG ship as well as its associated businesses have been monopolized by Europe, South Korea, etc., and the proportion of China's LNG ship business is still very small worldwide wise. Being an environmental technical enterprise that always bring innovation as marine leading industry change, ContiOcean Group has continuously paid attention to LNG market and promoted localization process of LNG core technology and products.

CNNC Sufa Technology Industry Co., Ltd. is a scientific and technological manufacturing enterprise integrating R & D, manufacturing and sales of industrial valves. It provides valve system solutions for oil, natural gas, oil refining, nuclear power, electric power, metallurgy, chemical industry, shipbuilding, paper making, medicine and other industries. It was listed on Shenzhen Stock Exchange in 1997 and became the first enterprise listed among China's valve and nuclear industries.

CNNC Sufa Valve has a number of advanced production and manufacturing equipment as well as all kinds of cutting edge testing facilities. At present, it has developed into a specialized industrial valve production base with many varieties, full range specifications and high technical content in the domestic valve industry. It has a series of quality system certificates, product certifications and testing qualifications that are national approved. Being an enterprise with complete certifications, CNNC Sufa Valve is an enterprise with advanced quality management and testing means in the same industry in China. Moreover, CNNC Sufa Valve has successfuly received the qualification certificates of ABS, BV, DNV and CCS classes, and has the design and manufacturing qualification license of nuclear pressure equipment granted by the national nuclear safety administration.

Under the company strategy of "adhering scientific and technological innovation, based on marine environmental protection, and developing post-gas business", ContiOcean Group started strategic cooperation with CNNC Sufa Valve in 2019. The two sides complement each other's advantages and jointly develop LNG marine low temperature and high pressure valve products. At present, CNNC Sufa and ContiOcean Group have successfully completed 2000 times low-temperature cycle tests on the high-pressure and low-temperature ball valves for LNG ships, CNNC Sufa Valve has become the only enterprise in China that has completed such tests, and has been partially put into commercial use step by step.

While the cooperation between ContiOcean Group and CNNC Sufa has made substantial and significant progresses, it is expected that in the third quarter of 2020, the certification of low temperature and high pressure valve products for LNG ships will be accompleted and vigorously develop the international LNG shipping market.
