Hengli Heavy Industry has once again made waves in the global shipbuilding market, securing orders for 10 large vessels across bulk carriers, crude oil tankers, and containerships — a testament to its strong technical capabilities and growing international influence.

Bulk Carriers (2+2 x 95,500 DWT)
This high-efficiency, port-friendly design is one of Hengli’s core products. The deal notably adopts offshore RMB settlement, supporting China’s currency internationalization while reducing FX risk for shipowners.
This order is believed to come from Shandong Ocean Shipping Group (Shandong Ocean), a state-owned enterprise expanding in the mid-to-large bulker market.

Suezmax Tankers (2+2, LNG Dual-Fuel)
These vessels are equipped with large cargo capacity, excellent fuel economy, and low emissions, reflecting increasing global demand for green crude transportation. The vessels were designed in-house by Hengli, demonstrating its strength in independent R&D.
While the client has not been officially disclosed, industry sources suggest the order may have come from Greece-based Dynacom, known for its active newbuilding strategy.

Ultra-Large Containerships (2 x 22,000 TEU, LNG Dual-Fuel)
Among the world’s largest, these ships boast advanced smart systems and dual-fuel engines built in-house by Hengli, enhancing both performance and vertical integration.
These are likely follow-up orders from MSC, which had previously ordered six vessels of the same type from Hengli — further solidifying its longstanding partnership with the yard.

From core ship design to marine engine manufacturing, Hengli is pushing the boundaries of high-value shipbuilding. The company’s strategy of simultaneous advancement in “bulk, oil, and container” segments is yielding tangible results and positioning it as a world-class builder of future-ready vessels.
