QINGDAO, Sept. 7 (Xinhua) -- Chinese enterprises have great opportunities in international marine engineering, a U.S. oceanic engineer said on Thursday.

China should invest in developing new drilling machinery, said William Webster, member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering, at the 2017 East Asia Marine Cooperation Platform Huangdao Forum held in Qingdao, in Shandong Province.

"Companies in China are building the drilling structure. But currently owners of these drilling platforms order a whole range of machinery that is needed to actually do the drilling from American and European manufacturers, not from Chinese manufacturers," he said.

China could "enter this market while the other manufacturers aren't doing anything," he said.
