China News Service, July 2 (Reporter Yin Liqin) Recently, the 23,000 TEU (TEU) dual-fuel-powered container ship "CMA CGM Sorbonne" independently developed and built by China State Shipbuilding Corporation was established in Shanghai under China State Shipbuilding Corporation. East China Shipbuilding (Group) Co., Ltd. was named and delivered to CMA CGM.
So far, all 9 super large ships of the project have been completed and delivered on time, achieving a perfect ending.
This is currently the largest and most advanced type one container ship in the world.
This type of ship has a total length of 399.9 meters and a width of 61.3 meters, which is more than 60 meters longer than the world's largest aircraft carrier.
At the same time, the deck area of this type of ship is close to 24,000 square meters, which is equivalent to 3.5 standard football fields; the cargo hold depth reaches 33.5 meters, and the maximum stacking layer of containers reaches 24 floors, which is equivalent to the height of 22 floors. Tyrant".
Four years ago, on September 19, 2017, after fierce market competition, China State Shipbuilding Corporation and CMA CGM signed a contract for the construction of nine 23,000 TEU dual-fuel-powered container ships. Shipbuilding built 4 ships.
This order broke the monopoly of Korean shipping companies in the field of international ultra-large container ships.
As the world’s first ultra-large dual-fuel container ship, the biggest feature of this type of ship is the installation of a unique "green heart"-a MarKⅢ membrane fuel tank of 18,600 cubic meters to carry liquefied natural gas (LNG). And provide "green power" for ships.
Once, the construction technology of MarKⅢ membrane fuel tank was only mastered by South Korean shipyards. Under the technical blockade of foreign shipyards, Hudong Zhonghua and Jiangnan Shipbuilding started from scratch and fumbled forward. After years of hard work, they finally mastered the construction of MarKⅢ membrane fuel tanks. The key core technology.
When the project ends, it is also the beginning of a new cooperation.
It is precisely because of the amazing performance of Chinese shipping companies that at the end of April this year, CMA CGM and China State Shipbuilding Corporation signed a huge container ship order with a total value of more than 10 billion yuan in Shanghai.
This order not only refreshed the record of the largest single new container ship order in the history of China State Shipbuilding Corporation, but also directly allowed the company to complete its annual order target more than half a year ahead of schedule.
