The Key Laboratory of Ship Science and Technology is subordinate to the School of Ship Engineering of Harbin Engineering University, which was established in September 2007 and is an important support base for the development of disciplines in the school. As the leading college of the university, the School of Ship Engineering has formed a distinctive school system and scientific and technological development plan after years of accumulation, especially in the ship and ocean engineering and other fields have gathered a number of excellent discipline leaders and innovation team, produced a number of high-level technical reserves, laying a solid foundation for future development. in May 2012, the laboratory successfully passed the assessment and acceptance.

Focusing on the development needs of the country in the fields of ship industry, naval equipment and ocean development, the laboratory carries out cutting-edge basic research and applied basic research in seven fields, including ocean carrier technology research, deep sea engineering technology, ship overall and system technology, ship and ocean engineering design and manufacturing, ship and ocean engineering fluid mechanics, ship and ocean engineering structural mechanics, port and waterway and offshore engineering technology, etc., for the purpose of It has played an important role in supporting the development of China's ship and ocean engineering disciplines. The laboratory actively exerts the advantages of the disciplines on which it is based, and strengthens the transformation of industrial, academic, research and technological achievements. It has formed strategic alliances with more than ten large enterprises and institutes, such as Shipbuilding Heavy Industry Group, Shipbuilding Industry Group, CNOOC, PetroChina, CIMC, Rongsheng Heavy Industry, etc., and has actively carried out the transformation of technological achievements in the areas of high-tech ships, deep-sea engineering, energy conservation and emission reduction, and exploration of marine resources, etc., and has undertaken the bottleneck technological challenges faced by the development of the industry as well as the major basic researches relating to the industry, so as to provide technological support for the industry's development. support for the development of the industry.

After years of construction and operation, the laboratory has become a research base in the field of ship and ocean engineering in China and a training base for high-level composite talents. In the past five years, it has undertaken more than 200 research projects entrusted by the National Defense Science and Industry Bureau, General Armament Department, Naval Armament Department, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Ministry of Science and Technology, National Natural Science Foundation of China, and relevant scientific research colleges and universities in the industry, and the amount of scientific research has reached nearly 300 million yuan. The company has won one special prize of National Scientific and Technological Progress (ranked 13th), one second prize of National Scientific and Technological Progress (second completion unit), one Scientific and Technological Progress Prize of Shandong Province (second completion unit), one first prize of China Marine Engineering Consulting Association, one first prize of National Defense Scientific and Technological Progress (ranked 8th), four second prizes and four third prizes of National Defense Scientific and Technological Progress, and three second prizes and five third prizes of Heilongjiang Provincial Scientific and Technological Progress. 5 awards.
