Recently, the world's first 23,000-box LNG-powered container ship constructed by Hudong Zhonghua Shipbuilding (Group) Co., Ltd. has successfully left Changxing Pier 2 and started a trial trip.
The peak period of the ship's mooring test coincides with the special period of the Spring Festival holiday and the outbreak of the "new crown pneumonia epidemic". The assembly of the four units has made production plans in advance, and the mooring test was carried out in an orderly manner during the Spring Festival. After the resumption of work and resumption on February 10, the boundaries of the project team were broken, and all staff were commissioned. Currently the ship is sprinting towards the delivery target at the end of April.
It is understood that this type of ship has been referred to by the industry as a “sea hulk”, with a total length of 400 meters, a width of 61.3 meters, a service speed of 21.55 knots, a carrying capacity of nearly 220,000 tons, a carrying capacity of 23,000 boxes, and a capacity of 2,200 40 feet for refrigerated storage.
