en.Wedoany.com Reported - Hengli Heavy Industry announced a substantial new shipbuilding order package during the 2026 Posidonia International Maritime Exhibition, comprising 21 firm orders and 4 optional vessels.
These orders, placed by six international shipowners, cover five high-end vessel types with a total value of nearly RMB 15 billion (approximately USD 2.2 billion), marking a significant step for this emerging Chinese shipbuilding enterprise into the global high-value-added vessel market.
The order portfolio encompasses mainstream high-value vessel types including 6,000 TEU container ships, Kamsarmax bulk carriers, Capesize bulk carriers, LR2 product tankers, and Suezmax crude oil tankers. Hengli Heavy Industry stated that this set of orders demonstrates the company's balanced deployment across major shipping sectors such as container, dry bulk, and tanker segments.
A top-tier European liner company has placed an order for 6,000 TEU medium-sized container ships, marking a key breakthrough for Hengli Heavy Industry in this specific vessel segment. Thanks to additional orders from another Greek shipowner, Hengli Heavy Industry's total orderbook for this series of vessels has approached 40 units.
Two renowned Greek shipowners have respectively signed construction contracts for 82,000 DWT Kamsarmax bulk carriers and 181,000 DWT Capesize bulk carriers, indicating recognition from the Mediterranean shipping community of Hengli Heavy Industry's construction capabilities in the dry bulk sector.
Greek shipping giant Venergy confirmed newbuilding orders for Suezmax crude oil tankers, while another Greek shipowner ordered LR2 product tankers. The dual achievements in crude oil and clean product tanker vessel types further strengthen Hengli Heavy Industry's market position in the high-end energy vessel manufacturing sector and complete its product layout in the tanker segment.
