Since the autumn of 2026, global economic and trade exchanges have continued to recover, highlighting the resilience of China’s foreign trade. Major ports across the country have seen a steady rise in shipping activity, with consistent growth in vessel calls, cargo transshipment volumes, and container throughput. Deep-sea trunk routes, domestic feeder lines, and river-sea intermodal services are operating with high efficiency.

In the second half of 2026, my country’s high-end shipbuilding industry continues to gain momentum. A number of independently developed, world-leading new cargo vessels—including multi-purpose heavy-lift ships, methanol dual-fuel ore carriers, and clean-energy transport vessels—have entered the stages of construction, sea trials, or delivery.
