Latest data shows that in Q1 2026, China's shipbuilding completion volume reached 15.68 million deadweight tons (DWT), continuing steadily from the previous cumulative total of 53.69 million DWT for the full year of Q4 2025, and surging by 46% compared to the same period last year. Benefiting from breakthroughs in green shipbuilding technologies and the advantages of a complete industrial chain, both new orders and orders on hand in China have seen strong growth. Looking ahead, a fully booked order schedule and the delivery of high value-added vessel types will bring robust profitability and growth momentum to China's shipbuilding industry.
