China Ship Trading is an online marketplace connecting buyers with ships for sale and shipbuilding opportunities. Its listings span more than 2,700 vessels, with options ranging from used ships to newbuildings.

The marketplace covers dry cargo vessels, including bulk carriers, container ships, general cargo ships and multipurpose ships. It also features deck barges, landing craft tanks, floating docks and other barge types; liquid cargo vessels such as oil and chemical tankers and LNG or LPG carriers; and passenger vessels, including ferries, RoRo ships and cruise ships.
