The highest-ranking Chinese shipyard was Yangzijiang Shipbuilding Group, ranked 6th, followed by Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding, ranked 8th. Two major European shipbuilders saw their rankings rise rapidly due to cruise ship orders; Chantiers de l'Atlantique (formerly STX France) surpassed Chinese shipyards to rank 5th, second only to the four major South Korean shipyards.
