据克拉克森研究所(Clarkson Research Institute)发布的数据，2019年第一季度，中国造船厂以258万CGTs的订单量位居榜首。

韩国造船厂获得了总计162万CGTs的新订单，全球排名第二。意大利造船厂以78万CGTs名列第三。数据显示，今年第一季度，全球新增造船订单196艘，约合573万CGTs。

在手持订单方面，中国以2992万CGTs位居榜首，其次是韩国的2133万CGTs和日本的1418万CGTs。

2012年，韩国的第一名被中国夺走，到2017年，韩国排名第二。2018年，韩国造船厂七年来首次以年度订单数量排名第一。应该说液化天然气运输船订单的增加，帮助韩国造船商重新夺回了全球市场的头把交椅。
