Yangzijiang Shipbuilding posts $374.25m order wins in YTD 2025

It represents just 5% of full-year target.

Yangzijiang Shipbuilding has secured $374.25m (US$290m) in orders so far in 2025. This is just 5% of its annual target.

The slowdown comes as shipowners delay new deals due to global economic uncertainty and trade tensions.

In 2024, the group achieved total order wins of 126 vessels worth US$14.6b.

Executive Chairman and CEO Ren Letian said recent U.S. trade policies and global tariffs have caused customers to hold off on orders. “We’re seeing a wait-and-see approach from clients,” Ren noted.

Despite the weak start, Yangzijiang remains supported by a strong orderbook that stretches to 2028.

The company said it is focused on executing existing contracts on time and at high quality.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
