description: "China Merchants Energy Shipping forecasts H1 2026 net profit of RMB 6.6B-7.3B, a 214%-248% year-on-year increase. The surge is attributed to the international crude tanker market entering a 'super boom' cycle with record spot freight rates and improved supply-demand dynamics in the dry bulk sector. Q2 profits are expected to rise significantly for both tanker and dry bulk segments due to recovered operations and steady recovery in container and ro-ro fleets."

# China Merchants Energy Shipping Forecasts H1 2026 Net Profit of RMB 6.6B-7.3B, Up 214%-248%

China Merchants Energy Shipping said on July 5 that it expects net profit attributable to shareholders to reach RMB 6.6 billion to RMB 7.3 billion in the first half of 2026, up 214% to 248% year on year, according to 36Kr. The company cited changes in supply-demand dynamics and geopolitical factors, saying the international crude tanker market has entered a "super boom" cycle, with spot freight rates on some routes hitting record highs during the period. It also said the international dry bulk market benefited from continued supply-demand improvement, with the Baltic Dry Index (BDI) steadily rebounding. The tanker fleet is expected to deliver about a 50% quarter-on-quarter increase in profit contribution in Q2 after overcoming disruptions from strait blockades and a temporary oversupply, while the dry bulk segment is expected to post about a 170% QoQ increase in profit contribution. Container and ro-ro fleets also showed a steady recovery trend.
