Recently, Jiangsu Kaiyang Ship Co., Ltd. underwent industrial and commercial changes, with the original shareholder, Changzhou Longcheng Ship Repair Co., Ltd., withdrawing and CATL's wholly-owned subsidiary, CATL Electric Ship Technology Co., Ltd., becoming a new shareholder. At the same time, the principal personnel of Kaiyang Ship have also been changed. Times Electric Ship fully acquired the 3.5714% stake previously held by Changzhou Longcheng Ship Repair Co., Ltd., and also acquired a 3.8286% stake held by the largest shareholder, Jiangsu Haotai New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. This brings its total stake in Kaiyang Ship to 7.4%. While other companies are competing in the automotive battery market, CATL has already set its sights on the shipping sector. Earlier, CATL's wholly-owned subsidiary, Wending Investment, withdrew from the shareholder ranks of Wuhu Shipyard. This shows that CATL is continuously adjusting its strategic positioning in the maritime electrification track.

Orders skyrocketing 3000%! Global ESS battery annual sales poised to historically surpass 1 TWh!

As "full capacity" and "flooded with orders" became the truest reflections of the ESS sector in H1, a growth wave driven by both AI computing power and the energy transition is propelling the global ESS battery market to unprecedented heights. Data from the National Energy Administration shows that in H1, investment in key energy projects in China maintained positive growth despite last year's high base, with new-type energy storage up 74.3% YoY. As of end-June, completed and operational new-type energy storage installations nationwide reached 153 GW/396 GWh (153 GW/396 GWh), up 61% YoY. Compared with the end of 2025, when the figures stood at 136 GW/351 GWh (136 GW/351 GWh), this implies new installations of 17 GW/45 GWh in H1.
