A recovery is still far off, said Wang Jinlian, secretary general of the China Association of the National Shipbuilding industry, although China's new ship orders reached 46.44 million deadweight tons between January and October, about 46 percent of the global market share .

The Beijing-based association previously represented more than 730 large and medium-sized Chinese shipyards before 2011, but the figure has dropped by half after only two years.
