中国最大的民营钢铁制造企业之一正进军造船业，该行业目前正迎来订单繁荣期。
One of China’s largest private steel-making companies is moving into shipbuilding as the industry enjoys a boom in orders.
企业注册数据库企查查显示，沙钢控股集团有限公司成立了金沙重工（天津）有限公司，这是一家全资子公司，注册资本为7000万元（合1050万美元）。该公司于10月8日注册成立，其经营范围包括船舶制造、船舶设计与修理，以及制造海洋工程装备。
Shagang Holding Group Co. established Jinsha Heavy Industry (Tianjin) Co. Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary withed capital of 70 million yuan ($10.5 million), according to corporate registry database Qichacha. The company, incorporated on Oct. 8, has a business scope that includes shipbuilding, vessel design and repair, as well as making marine-engineering equipment.
今年中东战争令全球航运市场受到震动，运费大幅飙升，对二手船的需求增加，并激发了订造全新货船的兴趣。在全球订单量激增、船厂产能吃紧之际，船队更新需求和对去碳化的推动也拉动了需求。
The global shipping market has been convulsed this year by the war in the Middle East, which has supercharged freight rates, boosted demand for second-hand vessels and stirred interest in ordering carriers built from scratch. Global order volumes have been surging, straining yard capacity, as fleet-renewal needs and a push for decarbonization also drive demand.
中国钢铁制造商是造船业的主要供应商，一些企业已投资该领域，但钢铁厂专门设立全资子公司来制造船舶的情况并不多见。在产能持续过剩导致国内整体钢材需求减弱的背景下，沙钢采取了这一举措。当彭博新闻社联系沙钢时，公司官员未能立即就该合资企业置评。
Chinese steelmakers are major suppliers to the shipbuilding industry, and some have invested in the sector, but it is uncommon for a mill to establish a wholly owned unit specifically to make ships. Shagang’s move comes as overall domestic demand for steel weakens amid persistent oversupply. Company officials couldn’t immediately comment on the venture when contacted by Bloomberg News.
