Series No. 1: Taiwan Contingency – How Would Japanese Shipping Respond?  連載① 台湾有事、その時、日本海運はどう動くのか

Will Chinese shipyards deliver newbuildings to Japanese shipowners?

China holds 70% of global newbuilding orders, raising delivery risks in a contingency

中国造船所は日本船主に新造船を引き渡すのか

世界の新造船受注「7割」を握る中国、有事で浮上するデリバリーリスク

 China secured 69.0% of global newbuilding orders in 2025. Japanese and European shipowners also place orders with Chinese shipyards. If a Taiwan contingency were to lead to a sharp deterioration in relations between China and Japan, the US and other countries, would existing shipbuilding contracts continue to be performed as agreed?

 This three-part series examines the geopolitical risks that are becoming increasingly important for the shipping industry.

■The full article covers the following points (approximately 2,000 Japanese characters)

→ China holds 70% of global newbuilding orders – but would the ships still be delivered in a contingency?

→ A vessel could be completed but still not delivered – the delivery risks created by sanctions

→ China’s amended National Defence Mobilisation Law – what could it mean for the shipbuilding industry?

→ Newbuilding risks could emerge even before armed conflict begins

→ From “shipyard risk” to “country risk” – what it means for Japanese shipowners
