Shipbuilding industry reviving

The global shipbuilding industry has seen a mild recovery as orders for new vessels rebounded to more than 3 million deadweight tonnes last month, and Chinese shipyards are still leading the industry, according to the latest statistics released by Clarksons Plc, the world’s leading provider of shipping services.

A total of 79 new vessels, totaling 3.2 million deadweight tonnes, were ordered in shipyards across the world in September.

The volume was 7.7% up from the same period last year and 9.6% up from August, the data showed. China still leads the world shipbuilding industry in new orders.

Chinese yards received orders for 34 new vessels, totaling 1.92 million deadweight tonnes, accounting for 60% of the world’s total new-order volume and an 81% increase from the same period last year.
