Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. delivered a tanker to a Dutch company on Thursday, making it the first shipbuilder in China to deliver products with a combined carrying capacity of over 100 million tonnes.

The newly delivered vessel was the 579th ship or offshore platform delivered during the 25 years since the company's founding. Waigaoqiao has built almost all mainstream ship types and offshore products used in the shipping market, and has developed a network of cooperation partners from all over the world.

Carrying capacity is not only key to measuring a ship's transportation capacity, but also an important parameter used to gauge the construction capacity of shipbuilding enterprises.

Waigaoqiao also constructed China's first domestically built large cruise ship, Adora Magic City, which made its maiden voyage in 2024.
