Since Vessel Value published its 2024 World Fleet Ranking, much has changed in supply chains and fleet modernization. There has been little change at the top of the rankings. China continues to outpace Japan. China’s shipowners have secured the country’s leading position with a fleet worth an impressive $255 billion, ahead of Japan, whose fleet reached almost $231.4 billion. The report highlights significant transformations in asset values and dynamic changes in the ownership market in 2024. China maintains its leading position in terms of the number of ships. It took the lead in terms of fleet value, overtaking Japan and reaching a value of $255,236 million. “This is due to the fact that China has bulk carrier and container fleets worth $68.4 billion and $63.5 billion, respectively,” lists Rebecca Galanopoulos of Vessel Value on her blog, noting that “the value of the fleets in both markets has been growing over the past year.”

China will maintain its position as the leading importer and Indonesia as the leading supplier of coal in the maritime transport market in the near future. In 2024, the global supply of coal in maritime transport increased by 2.4% y/y to 1,371.8 million tons (excluding cabotage), based on ship tracking data from AXS Marine, informs Banchero Costa Research.

At that time, Polish ports also recorded record coal transshipments in bulk terminals.

Almost 5 million fishermen use satellite and ICT technologies. The same number of devices operate on fish and seafood farms. New technologies are making a wide entrance not only into ports, commercial shipping, maritime tourism, sailing or offshore. They are also widely used in fishing and fish and seafood production on farms. They are also widely used by the recreational fishing sector, as well as anglers. Searching for and observing the migration of stocks, controlling the work of fish farms, and finally the development of recreational fishing, have led to the use of the latest technologies in fishing and breeding aquatic organisms, as well as in the recreational fishing industry.
