Construction of another vessel has been basically completed and will be delivered for use soon.

另一艘船只的建造工作已基本完成，不久将交付使用。

Named CMA CGM Trocadero, the vessel is 399.9 meters in length, 61.3 meters in width, and is currently the world's largest duel fuel container ship, according to Jiangnan Shipyard, a unit of the world's largest shipbuilder China State Shipbuilding Corp.

The vessel's 18,600-cubic-meter LNG tank allows it to travel 20,000 nautical miles (37,040 kilometers), making it suitable for round-trip voyages on the Asia-Europe routes.

Each vessel has a capacity of 16,000 TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units).

The vessel orders were placed while many major shipping companies announced new orders in the past few months even as freight costs for container ships reached historic highs, said Zhou Dequan, director of the Shanghai International Shipping Institute's domestic shipping research office.

Experts said the improved container shipping market has encouraged vessel operators to launch new building projects, driving the latest wave of shipbuilding orders.

The steel box girder weighs 3,400 metric tons, which was transported as a single unit from China to Stockholm on a vessel.

All its key parts and materials, like the reactor coolant pumps, squib valves, steam generators, reactor pressure vessel internals, control rod drive mechanisms, large forgings and nuclear-grade welding material, are all domestically designed and manufactured, he said.

The 23,000 TEU (twenty-foot equivalent unit) vessel was designed by the 708th Research Institute of China State Shipbuilding Corp, and built by Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding.

"The vessel represents the highest standard in shipbuilding and future trends, and since the signing of the contract, it has received great attention globally.

Unique because of its 18,600-cubic meter LNG tank, the vessel is capable of traveling 37,040 kilometers, sufficient for making round--trip voyage between Asia and Northern Europe routes where it will be deployed starting Wednesday, according to experts.

Yuan Hongliang, a chief technology expert who specializes in container ships with Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding, said that in addition to the LNG tank, the vessel is equipped with a smaller fuel tank and a gasoline tank as substitute options for special conditions.

The vessel has been named the Jacques Saade, after the group's founder.

CSSC Chengxi Shipyard Co Ltd, a Jiangsu province-based shipyard and a subsidiary of China State Shipbuilding Corp Ltd, delivered the first refrigerated container vessel to Dole, one of the world's largest producers of fresh fruits and vegetables, last week.

At the same time, it is equipped with a temperature monitoring system to adjust power supply and the internal temperature of the vessel's container portion to facilitate system maintenance, according to a CSSC Chengxi statement.

The vessel is 295 meters long, has a width of 45 meters and a depth of 26.25 meters.

"The vessel represents Chinese shipbuilders' most advanced technologies and is also one of leading state-of-the-art LNG carriers in the world in terms of performance," said Song.

According to Song, the vessel can save energy by an additional 16 percent when compared with the previous generation of LNG vessels.

Till date, the company has delivered 23 LNG tankers and is currently the world's fourth-largest LNG vessel maker," said Song.

Strong demand from home, BRI markets lifts CSSC's sales despite COVID impactDespite COVID-19 having severely impacted global orders for new ships in the first half, China State Shipbuilding Corp, the country's largest shipbuilder by production volume, saw its new vessel orders surge 34.2 percent year-on-year in the January-June period.

Built by Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding (Group) Co Ltd, the vessel is the first of a nine-vessel order placed by French shipping and logistics group CMA CGM Group to two Shanghai-based shipyards under China State Shipbuilding Corp (CSSC) in 2017.

"The capability of delivering an LNG powered vessel is proof of the high standard of Chinese shipbuilding technology," said Wu Siwei, a container ship expert with Hudong-Zhonghua.

The 104.4-meter long vessel is 18.4 meters at the beam, and can operate at a speed of 16.3 knots.

The State-owned company said with improved industrial chains, between 70 and 80 percent of core materials and equipment will be provided by Chinese manufacturers to build the high-end vessel in the next stage.

Under the deal, research and development work on the new vessel is set to be completed by the end of 2020.

It is the only domestic equipment manufacturing enterprise group that runs business in five industrial sectors - military projects, shipbuilding, offshore equipment building, heavy industrial projects, ship maintenance and vessel scrapping.

I realized that though nearly 100 percent of the up to 50,000 sailors of COSCO Shipping are men, each vessel is called "she" and is christened by a woman before its first ocean journey.

"It's worth mentioning that COSCO Shipping Specialized Carriers made its maiden voyage to the Arctic in a Chinese commercial vessel in 2013," Weng said.

A stroke occurs when blood flow leading to, or within, the brain is blocked, or a blood vessel in the brain ruptures, which can result in damage to the nerve cells in the brain and a loss of bodily functions.

According to the shipbuilder, the 104.4-meter long vessel is 18.4 meters at the beam.

The vessel, for the next step, will carry out various missions including equipment commissioning, internal engineering and tilt test.

SunStone is expecting delivery of the first vessel later this year and it will be used for operations in the Antarctic during the winter season.

The deal will be valued at $750 million approximately in total, with each vessel worth around $150 million, said Hu Keyi, technical director at Jiangnan Shipyard, adding that the shipowner is CMA CGM SA, one of the world's top three container operators.

A new and luxury ro-ro passenger vessel built by Guangzhou Shipyard International Company Ltd for Swedish company Rederi AB Gotland was named VISBORG in a naming ceremony in Guangdong provincial capital on Saturday.

Chen Zhongqian, chairman of GSI, said the vessel is a landmark product for GSI's revitalization after the company moved to Longxue island, located at the mouth of the Pearl River, from the city's Liwan district in July last year.

Construction of the vessel has cost more than 1 billion yuan ($149 million), a record high in building a single ocean and engineering ship in GSI's history, Chen said.

"The successful construction of this vessel has laid a good foundation for GSI to proceed in the luxury Ropax market as our highly-quality development direction.

The high standard and environment friendly Ropax vessel is driven by dual-fuel engines and its navigational speed can reach 28.5 knots to become one of the fastest ro-ro passenger vessels in the world.

At 200 meters long and 25.2 meters wide, the vessel is designed to have a capacity of 1,730 passengers.

The vessel will operate between Wisky island and Oskarshamn Port.

"He noted that "the vessel will serve the lines between Algeria, Spain, Italy and France," pointing out that the ferry will be one of the latest models of this type in Algeria.
