Anji Logistics boosts ocean carrier capacity for 2026
Anji Logistics ended 2025 with an additional pure car and truck carrier (PCTC), bringing the number delivered last year to eight and its total fleet to 41 vessels. The logistics provider, which is owned by China’s SAIC Motor, said that its annual finished vehicle transport capacity by ocean will hit 600,000 in 2026.
Anji Logistics' ro-ro fleet moves vehicles on routes covering Europe, Mexico, the Persian Gulf, Australia and New Zealand. The latest 9,500-CEU vessel – Anji Fortune (translated from Long Sheng) – was delivered on December 22, 2025 at Jiangnan Shipyard’s Changxing base for immediate deployment.

SAIC Motor reported that its cumulative overseas sales to November 2025 reached 969,000 vehicles (+3.4% year-on-year), supported by improvements to Anji Logistics’ transport capacity.
The Anji Fortune follows hot on the heels of the Anji Changsheng, which was delivered in October 2025 by China Merchants Jinling Yizheng Shipyard. That vessel also has capacity for 9,500 vehicles and is moving vehicles between China and Europe.
Yangtze to the world
In May 2025, Anji Logistics and Nanjing Port celebrated the launch of the Nanjing Jiansheng Automobile Ro-Ro Terminal, which supports vehicle exports on a new intermodal trade route linking the Yangtze River with overseas markets.
The terminal provides 418 metres of dedicated ro-ro berth, equipped with one 30,000-ton ocean-going vessel berth and one 10,000-ton river vessel berth. Anji Logistics said this enabled ro-ro vessels with a capacity of up to 5,000 vehicles to directly berth year-round, regardless of water level.
The ro-ro terminal has a total storage capacity of over 20,000 vehicles, which a dedicated connecting railway line. As well as finished vehicles, the port supports container, integrated pulp carrier and international freight train services.
During the launch on May 7, 2025, the Anji 24 set sail with a consignment of 508 MG brand vehicles bound for Mexico.
In September 2025, Mexico’s economy minister Marcelo Ebrard said the country will be raising tariffs on Chinese vehicle imports to 50%, part of a wider draft bill that seeks to place higher tariffs on more than 1,400 types of imports to Mexico coming from countries with which it has no trade agreements.
Chinese imports have been increasing and some Chinese carmakers seem unfazed by the tariffs, much the same as in Europe. Last year Mexico imported around 445,000 vehicles from China and logistics providers are having to be agile in balancing the flows from China with other more established volumes.
