Turbines; steam and other vapour turbines, for marine propulsion

HS v2017 Code: 840610

About turbines; steam and other vapour turbines, for marine propulsion

hs code 840610 covers steam and other vapour turbines used for marine propulsion. These turbines are a critical component in the maritime industry, powering a wide range of vessels including cargo ships, tankers, and cruise liners. They play a vital role in global trade and transportation, enabling the efficient and reliable movement of goods and people across the world's oceans.

Production process

The production of steam and vapour turbines for marine propulsion involves several key steps. First, the turbine components, such as the rotor, stator, and casing, are precisely engineered and manufactured using advanced metalworking techniques. The turbine blades are then carefully designed and installed to optimize efficiency and performance. Finally, the turbine is assembled, tested, and integrated into the vessel's propulsion system.

Production inputs

The manufacture of hs code 840610 turbines requires a range of specialized inputs, including high-strength alloy steels, advanced manufacturing equipment, and specialized engineering expertise. Additionally, the production process relies on a supply of energy, such as electricity and natural gas, to power the manufacturing facilities and testing equipment.

Production outputs

Turbines classified under hs code 840610 are primarily used to power the propulsion systems of various types of marine vessels, including cargo ships, tankers, and cruise liners. The output of this industry is therefore closely linked to the 890120 Tankers and 890190 Other vessels for the transport of goods and other vessels for the transport of both persons and goods industries, as well as the broader 890110 Cruise ships, excursion boats and similar vessels principally designed for the transport of persons; ferry-boats of all kinds industry.
