President Tsai attends groundbreaking ceremony of future ship model test basin
2024-05-16
Despite having just a few days remaining in her second and final term as president, Tsai Ing-wen is still making trips around Taiwan. Tsai traveled down to Kaohsiung to attend the groundbreaking ceremony for the National Academy of Marine Research’s ship model test basin. Set to be completed in 2027, the basin will serve as the final location of the indigenous submarine production process.
President Tsai Ing-wen headed down south to Kaohsiung’s Xingda Port to take part in the groundbreaking ceremony of the nation’s ship model test basin.
The ship model basin is regarded as the final phase of the indigenous submarine production process. Once finished, the basin will help ensure naval technology is both precise and state-of-the-art. The location’s high-quality, across-the-board boat testing services will solve problems currently being caused by Taiwan not being able to provide sufficient ship model testing. The basin’s estimated completion date is 2027.

President
Once completed, this basin will resolve these insufficiencies affecting Taiwan’s new naval vessel models, because currently we need assistance from other countries to carry out testing, which leads to risks concerning uncertain production timelines and information security issues. More importantly, the most crucial ship testing tasks will be able to be carried out in Taiwan. So, we’re letting the world know that we’re fully committed to developing our own naval vessels.
Earlier this year, Taiwan unveiled its first indigenous defense submarine Narwhal, which has undergone a series of ocean tests since then. Set to be a cornerstone of Taiwan’s defense autonomy, the National Academy of Marine Research’s ship model basin will also help strengthen Taiwan’s shipbuilding industry.

國艦國造關鍵基石! 國家船模實驗室落腳高雄
2024-05-16
潛艦國造最後一哩路，國家海洋研究院的國家船模實驗室，落腳在高雄興達港，總統蔡英文週四上午南下高雄出席動土典禮，未來可以滿足國艦國造，或是商船與特殊船舶的船模試驗需求。預計2027年完工啟用，增強海洋產業國際競爭力，更是國艦國造與國防自主的關鍵基石。
總統蔡英文到高雄興達港，出席國家船模實驗室動土典禮。
國家船模實驗室被視為潛艦國造最後一哩路，啟用後將能藉由精準且先進的技術，提供完整且高品質的船模試驗服務，以補足我國船模試驗的缺口。預計2027年就能完工。

“完工之後將能補足這些不足，解決台灣新式船艦，委由國外協助測試所造成的生產期程未定、資安問題的風險。更重要的是，這也讓我們將最關鍵的船艦試驗工作，留在台灣，更向世界宣示我們全力發展國艦國造的決心。”
台灣首艘國造潛艦「海鯤號」今年年初亮相，進行一連串的海上測試。未來國家船模實驗室的完工，將能強化造船產業核心競爭力，更能成為國防自主的關鍵基石。
