On November 20, the period chartered vessel “Shunze 99” loaded with 432 TEUs slowly sailed away from Jintang Port Area of Ningbo Zhoushan Port to Zhapu Port Area of Jiaxing Port, marking that the vessel was officially put into operation as a member of the “Ningbo Ocean Shipping Family”. Thus, for the first time, the number of vessels operated by Ningbo Ocean Shipping reached “100”.
Shipping capacity, as the core competitiveness of a shipping company, is directly related to the operating efficiency and service quality of a shipping company. In recent years, Ningbo Ocean Shipping has focused on its main responsibilities and business, strengthened capital operation, and rationally allocated capacity in accordance with actual business needs, resulting in a steady expansion of the fleet size and continuous optimization of its structure.
Up to now, the number of Ningbo Ocean Shipping’s operating fleet has grown to 100 vessels, with the total deadweight tons and container capacity reaching 1.557 million tons and 85,000 TEUs respectively, both of which are record highs. According to the data of Alphaliner, an internationally renowned shipping consulting organization, Ningbo Ocean Shipping has steadily risen in the rankings of the top 100 global container liner companies in recent years, and has been ranked 23rd.

Under the trend of green transformation of the shipping industry, Ningbo Ocean Shipping insists on the deep integration of production and operation with green development. Among its 47 vessels, 23 vessels hold the “Green Class Notation”. At the beginning of November, the company’s world’s largest and the China’s first batch of purely electric ocean-going vessels officially began construction.
With the continuous expansion of capacity, the route map of Ningbo Ocean Shipping has also been further extended. Since the beginning of this year, by leveraging the core hub advantage of its home port, Ningbo Zhoushan Port, Ningbo Ocean Shipping has opened a number of new routes while increasing the frequency of existing routes and optimizing and improving services, gradually forming a route network covering the coast of China and reaching as far as Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and other regions, and further enhancing its competitiveness and influence in the market.
