Wan Hai Lines reported record second-quarter 2026 earnings as strong global container shipping demand lifted consolidated revenue to NT$42.9 billion and after-tax net profit to NT$11.54 billion, up 972% from a year earlier, with EPS at NT$4.11, 51% above the first quarter. First-half after-tax net profit reached NT$19.21 billion on revenue of NT$76.54 billion, while pre-tax net profit rose 112% to NT$25.9 billion. The company said geopolitical conflict, volatile oil prices and higher operating costs remain risks, but the container market is still supported by an elevated SCFI (Shanghai Containerized Freight Index), tight charter vessel supply, unresolved port congestion and logistics bottlenecks. Wan Hai expects clearer U.S. tariff policy, normalized supply chains and fourth-quarter holiday restocking to support volumes and freight rates, while it expands capacity through new 7,000 TEU and 8,700 TEU ships, fresh 11,000 TEU orders, terminal additions in Kaohsiung and Osaka, and a broader 2027-2030 fleet plan.
