The key technology of the "Deep Sea No. 1" ultra-deepwater gas field won the first prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award in 2023. Offshore wind power generation was 51.69 billion kWh, a year-on-year increase of 26.4%. The output of domestic marine aquatic products increased by more than 4% year-on-year, and Guangdong's first marine ranch industry fund was officially unveiled, with a total fund size of 5 billion yuan.

The number of new orders for seagoing ships, the number of completed shipbuilding and the number of orders on hand increased by more than 24%, 31% and 23% year-on-year respectively, and the international market share of the three major shipbuilding indicators remained leading. Marine freight volume and cargo turnover increased by 6.2% and 6.8% year-on-year respectively.
