Recent industry data show that despite rising regulatory pressures and trade-barrier measures from the U.S., Chinese shipyards captured 53 % of global ship orders by tonnage in the first eight months of 2025.
This sustained dominance underscores China’s deep capacity in commercial shipbuilding and repair, something that translates directly into advantages for shipowners and technical service providers that operate in the region.
For DNNKC Marine Services, whose network includes 14 cooperating Chinese yards, this environment means:
Access to priority slot availability, as yards remain very active and competitive.
Optimised turnaround times because Chinese yards continue to handle high volumes.
The ability to offer competitive pricing, leveraging scale and local supply-chain efficiencies.
A strong strategic position to support vessels in one of the most active global ship-repair markets.
In short, with China’s ship-repair / yard sector showing resilience and high demand, DNNKC’s local partnerships allow us to deliver reliable, timely, and cost-effective technical services for clients calling at major Chinese ports.
