The maritime domain is a strategic area for high-quality development. A robust ocean economy is a crucial pillar for building a strong maritime and transportation nation, holding significant importance for stabilizing and expanding employment.
Stabilizing and Expanding Employment in Traditional Maritime Industries
Cultivate and develop the modern fishery industry, vigorously promote technologies like the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence, and train professionals such as aquaculture divers. This will help stabilize jobs during the transition of traditional fisheries from nearshore shallow waters to offshore deep-sea operations. Implement the "Blue Seed Industry" innovation initiative to expand the development space of the traditional fishery sector, promoting the transformation, increased income, and prosperity of traditional fishermen. Support qualified regions in constructing modern marine ranches and distant-water fishing bases to absorb workers from coastal areas. Back the green, low-carbon, and intelligent transformation of the shipbuilding industry, promote the strategic layout of offshore oil and gas into deeper waters, and create more high-end, sophisticated, and interdisciplinary employment positions. Enhance the comprehensive competitiveness of maritime transportation, accelerate the modernization of port and shipping infrastructure, advance multimodal transport and port-proximate industrial development, and intensify efforts to tap into maritime-related employment potential.
Innovating and Cultivating New Growth Points for Employment in Emerging Maritime Industries
Foster and strengthen the marine pharmaceuticals and bioproducts industry. Support deep collaboration between maritime-focused universities, research institutes, and enterprises to establish R&D and promotion platforms for marine researchers, medical device R&D engineers, and others. This will promote the high-quality development of the big health industry and absorb more university graduates and other young people into employment and entrepreneurship. Focus on elevating the intelligence and green standards of maritime industries. Support the accelerated development of marine engineering equipment and new materials manufacturing. Integrate and utilize various resources such as offshore wind power, offshore photovoltaics, offshore oil and gas, and marine energy. Research the establishment of new professional title series in the maritime field. Strengthen the development, application, and recognition of new occupations in areas like energy exploration, seawater desalination, deep-sea exploration and development, and marine pharmaceuticals and bioproducts, improving professional title evaluation standards that align with the characteristics of these new roles. Accelerate the training of crew for green and intelligent ships, and provide vocational training subsidies as per regulations for those participating in emerging field training such as green energy and smart ships.
Supporting the Development of New Business Models and Modes in Maritime Services
Deeply explore marine cultural resources, guide and expand marine cultural consumption. Support activities such as art exhibitions, marine sports events, cultural forums, and science education tours. Encourage the creation of marine cultural IPs, launch marine cultural and creative products, and create more seasonal and specialized job opportunities. Build high-quality tourism brands. Develop occupational roles like underwater photographers and cruise ship attendants around tourism formats such as coastal tourism, cruise and yacht travel, and recreational fishing, promoting the integrated development of industries like wind power, fisheries, culture, and tourism. Support coastal regions in developing tourism products based on local conditions, foster the integrated development of marine culture and tourism, and provide employment in areas like scene creation, route design, and tour guiding. Accelerate efforts to address shortcomings in high-end shipping services. Encourage collaboration between port enterprises and shipping, cargo owner, and financial companies to vigorously develop modern shipping services like shipping finance and insurance arbitration, absorbing more crew, maritime professionals, and maritime rescue personnel into employment and entrepreneurship. Support the development of high-end shipping talent clusters, facilitate the transition of crew to related onshore positions in shipping finance, shipping management, and port logistics, and broaden career development channels.
