About Yang Ming Marine Transport Corporation
Yang Ming Marine Transport Corporation, founded in 1972 and headquartered in Keelung, Taiwan, stands as one of the world’s top ten container shipping companies. As of mid-2025, Yang Ming operates a modern fleet of 100 vessels with a total capacity of approximately 724,000 TEU, maintaining its global rank as the 10th largest liner operator. The company employs thousands worldwide and is recognized for its robust service network spanning major trade lanes across Asia, Europe, North America, and emerging markets.
In 2025, Yang Ming reported operating revenues of NT$184 billion (about US$5.7 billion) and net income of NT$33.3 billion (around US$1.03 billion), despite ongoing market volatility and geopolitical uncertainties. The company’s strategic initiatives include a significant fleet renewal program, with orders for up to 13 new environmentally friendly vessels—including LNG and methanol dual-fuel ships—to enhance operational efficiency and meet tightening environmental regulations. Yang Ming also extended its 20-year lease at Kaohsiung Port, reinforcing its position as a critical transshipment hub in Asia and supporting its commitment to sustainable growth and network stability.
Amidst challenges such as Red Sea security risks, Yang Ming has rerouted vessels via the Cape of Good Hope to ensure crew and cargo safety, while continuing to optimize its service offerings. The company’s new India Ocean Express and enhanced Trans-Atlantic services, launched in early 2025, further strengthen its global connectivity and competitive edge. With a focus on flexible fleet deployment, digital transformation, and environmental stewardship, Yang Ming remains a key player in supporting global supply chains and adapting to the evolving demands of international trade.
