Chinamax is a standard of ship measurements that allow conforming ships to use various harbours when fully laden, the maximum size of such a ship being draft, beam and length overall. An example of ships of this size is the Valemax bulk carriers.
The standard was originally developed to carry very large loads of iron ore to China from Brazilian port facilities operated by mineral firm Vale.
