Hengli on Track to Deliver 160 Ships in 2028, Becoming One of Shipping's Biggest Builders in Four Years
Chinese shipbuilder Hengli, which acquired the former STX Dalian yard in 2022, is projected to deliver at least 160 ships in 2028, according to SSY analysis. With a 395-firm order backlog of 12.2m cgt and a $1.9bn expansion, it has become one of the world's largest privately owned shipbuilders. The yard's rapid ascent reflects the scarcity of prompt newbuilding slots and strong local government support.
