In 2025, China once again dominated the world’s shipbuilding orderbooks, according to the latest numbers from Clarksons (compiled by eWorldShip). Out of all orders placed at yards around the world, nearly two-thirds went to Chinese shipbuilders, reflecting the country’s powerful market position and the strength of its state backing. <\/p>\n

Last year, owners worldwide placed orders for about 2,500 ships. Out of these, more than 1,500 – over 60 percent – went to yards in China. Measured in tonnage, China’s share of the new order volume was slightly higher at about 62 percent. (The China Ministry of Industry and Information puts it even higher, at 69 percent, along with 56 percent of all completed deliveries for the year.)<\/p>\n

South Korea, the runner-up for new orders, won contracts for 260 vessels, or a bit more than 10 percent of the global total. Japan, long in third place, received 230 orders and a global share of about nine percent. <\/p>\n

By shipbuilding conglomerate, CSSC ranked top of the list, as is usual; half of the rest of the top-10 are in China. The others include COSCO, China Merchants, Hengli Heavy Industry and New Times Shipbuilding.  <\/p>\n
