At the grand opening of Marintec China 2025 (China International Maritime Technical Conference and Exhibition), the S-POD series of marine podded propulsors, independently conceived and crafted by the 704th Research Institute of CSSC, made a spectacular global debut in Shanghai. This milestone signifies China's triumphant overcoming of international technical hurdles, culminating in the complete localization of the product.

Podded propulsors, an advanced and innovative type of marine electric propulsion system, are characterized by their "pod" design and offer a plethora of benefits. The propulsor unveiled at the event boasts a power output of up to 10 megawatts, with technical specifications that are on par with the world's leading standards, effectively shattering foreign monopolies. The comprehensive range of propulsors developed by the 704th Research Institute of CSSC spans from 400 kilowatts to 10 megawatts, forming a complete model spectrum and a robust technical standard framework.
