China breaks world record for largest car carrier twice in less than a month
China has set a new world record for the largest car carrier with the Anji Ansheng, as the global car shipping market faces the threat of oversupply and falling prices.

China has set a new world record for the largest car carrier for the second time in less than a month, with the Anji Ansheng officially leaving port. The ship, which can hold 9,500 vehicles, is owned by SAIC Anji Logistics, a subsidiary of China's leading automaker SAIC.
The world's largest car carrier by capacity began its maiden voyage to Europe from Shanghai on Thursday evening, carrying around 7,000 Chinese-made cars.
The record surpasses the previous milestone set in late April, when the BYD Shenzhen, which can carry 9,200 vehicles, left its factory in China for its maiden voyage to Brazil. The BYD-owned vessel had already claimed the title of the world’s largest car carrier, surpassing Höegh Autoliners’ Aurora class by exactly 100 vehicles.
The new record holder, the Anji Ansheng, is 228 metres long and 37.8 metres wide – slightly longer than the BYD Shenzhen, which is 219 metres long.
The wave of new launches from China comes as many analysts are turning bearish on the car transport market. A recent report from Veson Nautical forecasts that “car-miles” (the number of vehicles multiplied by the distance travelled) will see negative growth in 2026–2027.
Veson, on the other hand, believes that vessel supply will continue to grow at double-digit rates over the same period, suggesting a sharp correction in time charter rates and asset values, with a trend back towards historical long-term averages. However, Veson also predicts that the market will be followed by a major scrapping phase reminiscent of 2009.
