How China captured nearly 82% of the world’s new ship orders

China's shipbuilding sector has taken a significant lead in the global market, capturing nearly 82% of the world's new ship orders in the first nine months of the year. This dominance is attributed to a combination of factors, including elevated crude oil prices that support orders for new vessels. As a result, China's shipyards have accumulated a substantial backlog of orders, with total outstanding orders reaching 399.13 million deadweight tonnes at the end of September, a 64.8% increase from the previous year.

Why it matters

China's shipbuilding sector is leading the world in new ship orders, which could boost the industry's growth and create more jobs. This dominance in the global market may also lead to increased investments and revenues for Chinese shipyards.
