In the first half of 2025, CSSC Huangpu Wenchong Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. adhered to the group’s “1-1-7-8” overall requirements, maintaining a steady and progressive approach under the guidance of “strategic planning, lean strengthening, and risk prevention.” Focusing on its core ship models and deepening independent R&D, the company delivered outstanding results despite the volatile global shipping market—achieving “over half of its annual targets ahead of schedule.” The growing influence of its container and gas carrier brands laid a solid foundation for meeting annual goals, further cementing its leadership as the global leader in feeder container ships.
As a global pioneer in feeder container shipbuilding, Huangpu Wenchong made remarkable progress in securing orders during the first half of the year. By June 30, the company had secured contracts for 32 ships across six models, accomplishing “half the year’s tasks in half the time.” Among these, 14 were independently developed core models, marking a new milestone in R&D and re-entering the Eurasian niche market. The self-assessed quality of orders also reached a record high, demonstrating a strong trend of “growth in both quantity and quality.”
The “/Honghu” series container ships, Huangpu Wenchong’s flagship product, continued to dominate the global feeder market in the first half of the year, showcasing the legend of “Made in China” through independent R&D.
In the feeder container ship segment, the 1900TEU model emerged as a “star product,” with cumulative orders reaching 40 ships operating across five continents. The 3100TEU model further solidified the company’s absolute dominance in the small and medium-sized container ship market. Domestically, the company secured a 1900TEU order from Jiangsu Ocean Shipping, a leading Chinese client, highlighting strong local market recognition for its independently developed products.
Notably, Huangpu Wenchong achieved a “quantum leap” in the medium-sized container ship market by securing its first 9200TEU order from Greek shipping giant DANAOS. This marked a significant upgrade from the 4300TEU class, demonstrating that the company’s technical prowess and market competitiveness in medium-sized container ships have earned the trust of global mainstream shipowners.
In the gas carrier sector, Huangpu Wenchong achieved a major breakthrough in the high-end market after years of dedication. In the first half of the year, the company secured an order for a 20,000-cubic-meter LNG bunkering vessel from Singapore’s SINGFAR.
This project, pursued and refined over five years, not only reflects Huangpu Wenchong’s deep expertise in the international small and medium-sized gas carrier market but also signifies a “leapfrog development” in the high-end LNG bunkering vessel segment. It further strengthens the company’s leading position in South China’s gas carrier market, contributing “Huangpu Wenchong’s strength” to the global upgrade of clean energy shipping equipment.
The impressive first-half performance exemplifies Huangpu Wenchong’s strategy of “building reputation through branding and leading through technology.” With visits from new and existing shipowners across more than 20 countries and regions, prominent appearances at international exhibitions, and in-depth coverage by industry media, the “Huangpu Wenchong” brand has resonated across the global shipping industry.
Looking back at the mid-year milestone, every order represents trust, and every breakthrough reinforces confidence. In the second half of the year, Huangpu Wenchong will capitalize on its momentum, leveraging independent R&D and digital transformation opportunities to promote flagship products like the “Honghu” series feeder container ships and the “Haijing” series bulk carriers. The company will focus on securing medium-sized container ship contracts, deepening its presence in the gas carrier market, and expanding its core models in bulk carriers, offshore engineering, special-purpose vessels, and official ships. Seizing global shipping opportunities with greater determination and concrete actions, Huangpu Wenchong aims to achieve its annual targets and contribute more “Intelligent Chinese Manufacturing” achievements to the global shipping industry!
