Hudong- Zhonghua Shipbuilding Group Co Ltd
China • China State Shipbuilding Corp. (CSSC)
Under Group of:
Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding (Group) Co., Ltd. is a major shipbuilding enterprise under the leadership of China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC) located in Chang Xing Island, Shanghai, with principal production facilities in the eastern part of Shanghai, covering an area of 4.8 million square metres and featuring 7,300 metres of wharf frontage.
The Group has total assets of 7 billion Yuan and employs approximately 14,000 staff and workers. In addition to the two principal shipyards, Hudong and Zhonghua, the Group encompasses around 100 marine equipment manufacturers and subsidiary companies.
The Group’s facilities include a VLCC-class dry dock, a 120,000 DWT floating dock, and five shipbuilding berths designed for vessels of up to 20,000 DWT, 70,000 DWT, and 120,000 DWT respectively.
To date, the Group has delivered more than 3,000 vessels to both domestic and international clients including large and medium-sized container ships, LNG carriers, LPG carriers, chemical carriers, Ro / Ro vessels, multipurpose cargo ships, heavy lift cargo vessels, floating production storage units, product carriers, crude oil tankers, bulk carriers, passenger ships, as well as various naval vessels.
Hudong-Zhonghua is currently the only shipyard in China to have delivered large membrane LNG carriers exceeding 125,000 cubic metres. The yard now focuses primarily on two main merchant ship types: large container vessels and LNG carriers, including LNG bunkering vessels, FSRUs (Floating Storage Regasification Units), and FLNGs (Floating Liquefied Natural Gas units).
The Group operates two shipbuilding sites in Shanghai: Production Lines 0 and 1 located on Changxing Island. The Group was established through the merger of Hudong Shipbuilding Group and Zhonghua Shipyard.
Independent shipyard insight, future-ready newbuild guidance and expert advisory support to help you make confident new construction decisions from planning to delivery.
New construction decisions shape the performance, compliance and commercial value of a vessel for decades. Lloyd’s Register helps owners, operators, charterers and project teams make those decisions with greater clarity, combining trusted classification expertise with practical newbuild advisory support.
Through LR’s New Construction Guide, clients can access independent shipyard intelligence across North Asia, including China, Korea and Japan. The guide helps compare shipyard capabilities, facilities, track record, vessel specialisms and future-fuel readiness, supporting smarter shipyard selection and earlier project planning.
Beyond the guide, LR provides advisory support across the full newbuild lifecycle. From technical specification development and design review to regulatory impact assessments, alternative fuel studies, energy efficiency, carbon capture readiness, site support and operational preparation, LR helps clients reduce uncertainty before it becomes a cost, a delay, or a risk.
With global technical authority, local shipyard knowledge and deep maritime expertise, Lloyd’s Register supports future-ready vessels from the earliest concept through to construction and delivery, helping clients build with confidence in an increasingly complex market.
