In the fourth quarter of 2025, China's ship repair (Putuo) price index was 131, down 4.9% month-on-month (previous period) and up 5.7% year-on-year. Among them, the total number of ship repairs during the reporting period increased by 7.4% month-on-month, and the total deadweight tonnage increased by 19.4% month-on-month; the value per unit ship increased by 4.1%, and the value per unit ton decreased by 6.5%.
The indicator reflects that the ship repair industry continued to maintain stable development during the reporting period, the ship repair business volume continued to grow, and the overall indicator continued to grow year-on-year; however, the value volume fell, causing the overall indicator to fall slightly month-on-month.
The China Ship Repair (Putuo) Price Index (CSRPI) objectively reflects changes in market supply and demand through the systematic integration of industry data, helping industry parties to gain a clear insight into the development trends and price fluctuations of the ship repair market, effectively improving market transparency and information symmetry, and providing authoritative, fair, and trustworthy public service products for the international shipping industry, ship repair companies, ship operators, and upstream and downstream entities in the supply chain.
China Ship Repair (Putuo) Price Index is based on the determined theoretical system and sample range. We selected Putuo and surrounding areas in 14 years since 2010, 35 companies, 29 statistical data columns, and a total of 7482 information units to study and establish annual and quarterly Putuo ship repair price index models. The sample companies basically cover all ship repair companies above designated size in Putuo area, with output value exceeding 98%, and the number of ships repaired exceeds 95%. Ship repair tonnage exceeds 98%.
Focusing on the enterprises in the Putuo area of Zhoushan within the statistical scope, based on the data source of China Shipbuilding Industry Association and relevant regional reported data, combined with the characteristics of the ship repair industry, the data of the statistical scope of key enterprises and general enterprises are calculated through the weighted comprehensive index method, and quarterly updates are achieved.
The index reflects the overall price and industrial development trend of the target area, not just the contract price. The index unit is dimensionless.
Taking the first quarter of 2020 as the starting point of the index base period, the value is 100. The base period rotation will be carried out at an appropriate period according to the needs of industrial development. At that time, the rotation details will be announced in advance.
