World's First 24,000 TEU Class Dual-Fuel Container Ship Docked
According to “China Ship” official microblogging article, China Shipbuilding Group's Hudong-Zhonghua independent research and development, design and construction of the world's largest 24,000TEU-class liquefied natural gas (LNG) dual-fuel-powered ultra-large container ship first production ship out of the dock.
It is reported that the ship was ordered for France Duffy Group, with an overall length of 399 meters, a beam of 61.3 meters, a depth of 33.5 meters and a design draft of 14.5 meters. It can carry 220,000 tons of goods, load 23,872 containers at a time, carry 2,200 standard refrigerated containers, and the maximum number of stacking layers reaches 24 layers, which is equivalent to the height of 22-story building.
It is especially worth mentioning that the ship is equipped with a unique “green heart” - 18,600 cubic meters of MARK Ⅲ membrane fuel tank. This design enables the ship to rely on LNG to provide green power for nearly 20,000 nautical miles in a single voyage, demonstrating its outstanding performance in environmental protection.
In terms of environmental emissions, the vessel meets the most stringent standards in the world. Compared with the same type of fuel tanker, its carbon dioxide emissions are reduced by about 20%, nitrogen oxide emissions by up to 85%, and particulate matter and sulfur oxide emissions by 99%, which greatly reduces the pollution to the environment.
In addition, the 24,000 TEU class dual-fuel container ship has also set a number of new records in the construction process. The integrity of the whole ship's cabin installation has reached 100%, the submission rate of pipe system installation has reached 85%, the cable laying in the engine room has been completed by 95%, the big outfitting in the cargo area has been completed by 100%, the completion rate of the cryogenic system has exceeded 70%, the welding of the inner pipe of the double-wall pipe has been completed by 95%, and the cryogenic stainless steel pipe and the nitrogen stainless steel pipe have both been completed by 72%, and so on.
These achievements not only set a new record for the integrity of the company's ultra-large boxships, but also laid a solid foundation for the subsequent dock mooring test, sea trial and early delivery.
