All the yards of China State Shipbuilding Co (CSSC) and China Shipbuilding Industry Co (CSIC) were merged, giving the new group the number one spot, even after South Korea’s Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) and Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME) complete their own merger. CSSC and CSIC used to belong to the same company but were split up about twenty years ago.

The new group now has 147 research institutes, business units and listed companies with total assets of 790 billion yuan ($112bn USD) and 310,000 employees.
