China Launches Record-Breaking Car Carrier Ships, Strengthening Global Export Capabilities
Two new gigantic car carriers set sail, further enhancing China's position as the world's leading automobile exporter.
Two new car carrier ships built in China embarked on their maiden voyages over the weekend, marking a significant development in the country's automotive export capabilities.
The Anji Ansheng, the largest of its kind, boasts a capacity to transport 9,500 vehicles, surpassing the previous record held by the Yuan Hai Kou, which could carry 7,000 vehicles.
The Anji Ansheng represents a growing fleet of Chinese car carriers, with SAIC Anji Logistics, which owns both vessels, currently operating a fleet of 35 car carrier ships.
The company anticipates the addition of 22 new ships to its international fleet in the coming year.
This expanded fleet will service key export markets, including routes to Mexico, Western Europe, the wider Mediterranean region, South America, Southeast Asia, Oceania, and countries in the Middle East.
In recent years, China has ascended to the status of the world's largest automobile exporter, with projections indicating that exports will rise by 23% to 6.41 million vehicles in 2024 compared to the previous year.
This growth highlights China's increasing influence in the global automotive industry, driven by major manufacturers who possess large fleets dedicated to shipping vehicles internationally.
This latest development comes just weeks after the BYD Shenzhen, which can carry 9,200 vehicles, set off on its inaugural journey from Suzhou to Brazil, further emphasizing the rapid advancements in China's shipping capabilities for automotive exports.
