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.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
