New contracts signed during the year totalled 107.82 million DWT, giving China a 69 per cent share of global new-build orders.
The inspection followed a serious incident, when the ship’s captain reported engine trouble while sailing south of Sardinia.
The three mariners were taken aboard the motor tanker Radiant Pride and were reported to be in stable condition, with no injuries.
The incident is one of the deadliest migrant-related maritime accidents in Greece in recent years.
The vessel is China’s first domestically built 10,000-ton-class intelligent sea vessel powered entirely by electricity.
The Commission believes this could help boost production of ferries, research vessels, icebreakers and tugs at European shipyards.
Authorities confirmed that all crew members were safely evacuated from the ship and that no injuries were reported.
Authorities said there were reasons to believe the vessel could be linked to smuggling activity from South America.
