Authoritative Award Sets Industry Trends

The China Federation of Logistics & Purchasing (CFLP) Science and Technology Award, approved by the Ministry of Science and Technology and registered with the State Science and Technology Awards Office, stands as the most influential accolade in China's transportation and logistics sector. It holds the authority to nominate and recommend candidates for national science and technology awards.

This award aims to advance technological innovation and progress in China's logistics sector, promote the commercialization of scientific achievements, accelerate high-quality development in logistics, and drive the transformation and upgrading of modern logistics. It recognizes and encourages outstanding technological innovations that have made significant contributions to the advancement of modern logistics.

Seahi Intelligent: Pioneering the Future of Marine Technology

According to 2023 World Bank data, the global logistics industry accounts for 12.3% of the world's total economic output. Meanwhile, 90% of global trade is carried out by sea. On this “ocean highway,” numerous vessels experience increased fuel consumption and emissions due to navigation resistance caused by the accumulation of marine organisms like seaweed and barnacles on their hulls.

Underwater robots provide safe, efficient, and comprehensive hull cleaning services, significantly reducing operational costs and greenhouse gas emissions in the shipping industry. Simultaneously, robotic cleaning can be performed during port calls without requiring dry docking, enhancing vessel operational efficiency and extending hull lifespan. This green, low-cost maintenance approach is accelerating the realization of green ports and smart maritime operations.

As a global leader in underwater robotics, Seahi has established robust industry barriers through cutting-edge technological prowess and innovative spirit. With over 200 intellectual property rights, the company comprehensively covers key technological domains including propulsion, control, sensing, navigation, waterproof sealing, and powered deployment. It has achieved full in-house development of core components and software algorithms, successfully overcoming technical bottlenecks in underwater operations such as waves, currents, swells, high salinity, high pressure, and high corrosion. This transforms cutting-edge technology into tangible industrial efficiency.

Within Seahi Intelligent's business portfolio, underwater robotics services are experiencing explosive growth. Its products have been deeply integrated into multiple world-class ports, spanning coastal provinces including Tianjin, Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangxi, and Hainan. They cover all mainstream vessel types ranging from 100-ton to over 300,000-ton class.

Seahi's “Underwater Superhero Squad” operates 24/7 with uninterrupted efficiency, injecting robust momentum into port intelligent upgrades. This impressive track record not only demonstrates Seahi's formidable market competitiveness but also elevates China's cutting-edge underwater robotics technology onto the global stage.

Joining Forces to Launch a New Era of Logistics Technology

This joint first-place award won by Seahi, China Merchants Group, Shandong Ports, and Harbin Engineering University not only showcases the profound technical expertise and innovative capabilities of all parties in the field of logistics technology, but also signals that China's logistics technology sector is poised to achieve more breakthroughs through future multi-party collaboration. We look forward to this award-winning team building upon this achievement, continuing their dedicated efforts, and writing an even more brilliant chapter in the development of China's logistics technology!
