Our marine sales team is in China this week, visiting shipyards, meeting with existing customers, exploring future project opportunities, and connecting with our local partners at Grandbow Technology.
The global shipbuilding industry is operating at a historic scale. According to Clarksons Research, the global orderbook reached a record 9,699 vessels totaling 435.8 million gross tonnes at the end of September, surpassing the previous peak set in 2008.
Chinese shipyards play a significant role in this market, securing approximately 76% of global new vessel orders during the first eight months of 2026, including an impressive 91% of containership capacity ordered worldwide.
For Climeon, the scale of investment in large commercial vessels represents an important opportunity. With substantial installed engine power and significant amounts of recoverable waste heat, these vessels are particularly well suited for HeatPower technology, which can help shipowners reduce fuel consumption and improve energy efficiency.
With a growing track record of successful HeatPower installations at sea, we're focused on bringing the benefits of ORC waste heat recovery to more vessels across the global maritime industry.
