Shipbuilding Industry Statistics

Fuel and rules are moving the shipbuilding market at full speed, with EU ETS kicking in from 2024 and FuelEU Maritime setting GHG intensity reduction trajectories that start with 2025 milestones, while 50% of new container ship orders as of 2024 already include energy efficiency design enhancements. See how that policy pressure collides with steel and shipping cycles, from South Korea’s 16.6 million tonnes of shipbuilding steel demand in 2023 to volatile freight and fuel differentials that can flip order momentum fast.

Energy rules and cost pressures are reshaping shipbuilding faster than most yards can retool, with the EU ETS now adding emissions reporting and allowance surrender for voyages linked to EU ports. At the same time, contract incentives swing with market demand proxies like the Baltic Dry Index, which averaged about 1,270 points in 2023, and with steel and fuel inputs that can move sharply. Put together, these forces explain why newbuild decisions now balance bulk demand, carbon intensity, and compliance thresholds all at once, from EEXI and CII to ballast water and FuelEU trajectories.
