Chinese shipbuilding industry

Appreciate the size of these monsters. These videos can also be awesome and relaxing to watch on their own right.

Ship is designed by CSSC's Institute 708. The first ship is named after Jacques Saade who is the founder of CMA CGN, the rest of the ships are named after famous landmarks of France.

Rising steel prices will be passed to the cost of the newbuilds which in turn will be passed to the freight cost which will be passed to the end consumer product and on to you.

Good news for a big customer of China made boxships.

With the CMA CGN's contract on the 23,000 TEU boxships nearly done, this large boxship here next to 003 could be Evergreen's 24,000 TEU boxship, although I'm not sure.

Hapag Lloyd converts a 15,000 TEU boxship to LNG fuel. The conversion and refit was done by Huarun Dadong shipyard, which specializes in repairs and refits.

JOVO orders LNG carrier from CSSC Jiangnan.



Eight box ships ordered from Yangzijiang Shipbuilding.



Yangtian and other South China ports are congested, and this perpetuating into a crisis. This is probably due to result of tighter covid measures in Guangzhou.

Train ferry made by CSSC Huangpu Wenchong delivered to its US owners to serve the US-Mexico route.

China's first floater foundation has rolled out from Wison Zhousan, this will be deployed somewhere in Guangzhou. What this is, is a foundation for a typhoon resistant wind turbine power generation facility. It is a semi-submersible so a good portion of this is underwater.






Shipping industry in a crisis mode. This can affect the costs of goods in your grocery and store.

Zhoushan losing repair and refit jobs and work because of covid restrictions that do not permit them to accept ships from covid hit countries. This happened as covid infections rose in Chinese ports from contamination in international ships.



The Pearl River Delta is jammed with ships as Chinese ports have slowed down due to covid measures.



Somewhat indirectly related but should be mentioned. Russia's LNG delivery schedules to Asia behind due to the lack of tankers.



Container volume at Chinese ports up by 4% in May.
