The shipbuilding sector continues to gain momentum in Asia with a new major order awarded to Hengli Heavy Industry. The Capital Group, led by shipowner Evangelos Marinakis, has confirmed the acquisition of eleven giant oil tankers, an unprecedented volume for the Chinese shipyard.

Beyond the mere announcement effect, this operation symbolizes the rapid evolution of the global maritime industry. Chinese private shipyards are gaining ground in the high-end segments, strengthening their technological autonomy and industrial expertise.

For maritime logistics professionals, this order reflects a clear conviction: despite economic cycles, the demand for energy transport remains strong enough to justify heavy investments in the future fleet.
