Taiwan container liners Yang Ming Marine Transport and Wan Hai Lines reported strong second-quarter 2026 earnings as an early or robust peak-season market, firmer freight rates and resilient cargo demand lifted profitability. Yang Ming posted second-quarter net profit of NT$5.73 billion, up 482% year on year, on revenue of NT$45.92 billion, while Wan Hai reported after-tax net profit of NT$11.54 billion, up 972%, on revenue of NT$42.9 billion. Both companies said tariff developments, port congestion, shipping-lane disruption and fuel costs remain key risks for the second half, though Wan Hai said holiday restocking and clearer U.S. tariff policy could support fourth-quarter volumes and rates.
