Director Wang Haihuai said that from the perspective of human development, the dredging industry has been born to the water and has always been an important force in promoting economic development, urban construction and civilized progress. Especially since entering the era of industrial civilization, the dredging industry, which mainly excavates deep-water channels, constructs deep-water port areas and implements land-filling, has greatly promoted the rapid development of port shipping and coastal economy in various countries. From a geographical point of view, at present, 60% of the world's economic aggregate is concentrated in the estuary, 75% of the urban agglomeration, 70% of the industrial capital and population are concentrated in coastal areas with a depth of about 100 kilometers on the coast, which fully indicates that the dredging industry It is an important strategic industry related to global economic and social development. Contemporary, the Bay Area economy, as a high-level form of regional economic development, has become the most eye-catching engine in the world economic map. Its main advantage lies in its natural advantages of combining bays and ports, as well as the agglomeration and spillover effects of modern urban agglomerations. The economic construction of the Bay Area is also inseparable from the effective support of the dredging industry.

In 1897, Emperor Guangxu's royal pen Zhu Zhan "knows", China's first dredging enterprise "Haihe Engineering Bureau" was born in Tianjin, and it is the predecessor of the CCCC Tianjin Dredging Co., Ltd.. In 2015, CCCC Group established the world's largest dredging company, CCCC Dredging (Group) Company Limited, to fully optimize its core business segment, the dredging business, and integrate its operations into CCCC Tianjin Dredging Co., Ltd.,CCCC Shanghai Dredging Co., Ltd. and CCCC Guangzhou Dredging Co., Ltd.. Taking the new journey of China-Treason dredging, based on the domestic and facing the world, to promote the reform and upgrading of China's dredging industry and professional deepening, actively participate in the global dredging development, and sincerely communicate with peers and partners to jointly promote the world's dredging and prosperity.

In the past four years, CCCC Dredging (Group) Company Limited has insisted on high-quality development, and has deep-rooted and traditional dredging and filling the main business. In the construction of major projects such as the world-class engineering Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, the Yangtze River Golden Waterway, and the world's largest island-type artificial deep-water port Yangshan Deepwater Port, the in-depth involvement of China Communications Interchange has contributed to the smooth progress of the project and contributed to the industry. By applying the self-developed intelligent control system, Zhenhua Heavy Industry has built the largest single-automatic terminal of the Yangshan Port Phase IV, which has greatly promoted the pace of construction of Shanghai International Shipping Center, Financial Center, Trade Center and Economic Center.

In the past four years, CCCC Dredging (Group) Company Limited has been driven by innovation and has continuously promoted the improvement of China's dredging equipment manufacturing capabilities. At present, it has more than 200 dredgers of various types, with an annual dredging capacity of more than 800 million cubic meters. Among them, the “Tianhao” officially put into operation earlier this year has promoted a major upgrade of the dredging industry equipment.

In the past four years, under the guidance of the “Belt and Road” construction,  CCCC Dredging (Group) Company Limited continued to increase investment in talents, ships, technology and other resources, and built the container port of Cologne, Panama, the port of Ilychovsk, Ukraine, the land of Penang, Malaysia, Brazil. A number of representative overseas projects, such as the Tayah Port Dredging Project, have made efforts to upgrade the global channel port level and improve infrastructure construction.

Chairman Wang Haihuai said that this session of the General Assembly was held during the critical period of deepening adjustment and reform of the dredging industry. On the one hand, global economic growth has slowed down, ecological environment pressure has increased, climate problems have become increasingly prominent, and dredging market demand has changed in depth; on the other hand, under the guidance of the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, “human and nature are in harmony” The new development concept and development model are becoming the broad consensus of the dredging industry. The theme of the “dissemination and ecological harmony” focuses on the essential connotation, purpose and the fundamental standpoint of innovation and development in the new era. The dredging industry needs to play a significant role in creating a higher value by optimizing the ecosystem in which human society and nature are closely interdependent and building a better world at a higher level.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has incorporated the construction of ecological civilization into the overall layout of China's "five in one" and vigorously built "beautiful China." In the process of deep participation in the construction of national ecological civilization, Chinese dredging enterprises have found a convergence point between water resources, water ecology, water environment and dredging industry to the water and the development of water system, and gradually explored a comprehensive management of water environment. To represent the green dredging transformation path, and hope to communicate and discuss with the world's dredging enterprises, in the practice to jointly promote the green development, integration development and high-quality development of the world dredging industry. In 2018, China's first "harmony with nature" international water environment ecological construction technology development conference was held. The conference focused on the construction of water ecological civilization, and formed more than 50 reports, showing the latest concepts, technologies and programs in the field of water environmental governance and protection, and advocating development. Ecological dredging.

Chairman Wang Haihuai said that Shanghai is China's largest economic center and at the forefront of reform and opening up. The open character, innovative spirit and tolerance of the city have become a vivid portrayal of China's development and progress, and also reflect the holding of this dredging conference. The purpose is to sincerely hope that all parties here will discuss the win-win situation, enhance mutual trust, gather wisdom, and make efforts for the world's dredging and ecological development. In the future, Chinese dredging enterprises will start from the following three aspects, and strive to take the road of high quality and dredging development with “more harmony with ecology”.

First, adhere to ecological priorities and strive to be the world's ecological dredging actors. Looking at the world, building a green home is a common dream of mankind. Building a green dredging covering the entire industrial chain is the only way for us to solve the problems of development and the advantages of thickening and dredging.

The second is to increase the drive for innovation and strive to be the promoter of the world's intelligent dredging technology. Human beings are about to enter the era of Internet of Everything, and the technological revolution represented by advanced technologies such as big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, 3D printing and intelligent manufacturing will surely lead the transformation of all industries. The dredging industry should take the initiative to promote the development of the industry in terms of intelligence, efficiency and high quality.

The third is to advocate for joint construction and sharing, and to cooperate with the world to dredge and win. China's dredging will always adhere to the open mind and take advantage of the momentum to jointly maintain and develop an open world economy. Compared with the world's leading dredging enterprises, Chinese enterprises still have a lot of room for development in terms of equipment, technology and management. We sincerely hope that countries will strengthen their complementary advantages, allocate dredging resources more effectively, and build green, open, shared and collaborative. The intelligent dredging industry ecology.

 Chairman Wang Haihuai said that in the era of deepening economic globalization, China’s dredging will always adhere to the principle of “there is demand in the market, each has its own advantages, and there are consensus among all parties and cooperation for mutual benefit”. Dredging and common progress, let us join hands and aim at “disintegration and ecological harmony”, to aggregate strength, promote development, climb the peak, win the future, and contribute to the promotion of human progress and the world economic and social development.
