China has overtaken South Korea as the world's largest shipbuilder - at least in terms of new orders, with a 165 per cent increase in the first half - according to the State Oceanic Administration.
Mainland yards booked orders for new ships totalling 42.6 million tonnes in the first six months, representing 42 per cent of the global market. The administration did not provide updated figures for its Asian counterparts. But, in the first four months, Korea accounted for 34.3 per cent of the new order market, followed by 6 per cent for Japan.
