In his speech, Fu Aiyong stated that the successful delivery of the BH SHIJIAZHUANG is a model achievement of the company's deepened "blue cooperation" with key partners such as SUMEC Shipbuilding, New Dayang Shipbuilding, and CCB Financial Leasing. It is a "hardcore result" of implementing the Hebei Communications Investment Group's "Three Chains, Three Blocks, One Cluster" industrial matrix and a "power engine" to help Hebei achieve its goal of building a "strong maritime province." Naming the vessel after Shijiazhuang, the capital of Hebei Province, not only embodies the firm belief of Hebei enterprises in venturing into the deep blue and serving the world but also highlights Hebei Province's mission and responsibility of connecting domestic and international markets through shipping and empowering high-quality regional economic development.

Equipped with an intelligent energy efficiency optimization system, it can dynamically optimize navigation performance in real-time, effectively reduce carbon emission intensity, and its overall performance reaches the international benchmark for vessels of the same type. The vessel has an overall length of 199 meters, a width of 32.26 meters, a deadweight of 64,000 tons, and possesses strong adaptability for ocean transportation and market competitiveness.

In recent years, the global shipping market landscape has undergone profound adjustments, with greening and intelligence becoming inevitable trends in industry development. Seizing the opportunities presented by industry transformation and upgrading, Bohai Ocean Shipping has scientifically planned its fleet development strategy, steadily advanced the construction of its self-owned shipping capacity, and is committed to building a modern fleet characterized by "appropriate scale, optimized structure, advanced technology, and green intelligence."

Looking ahead, Bohai Ocean Shipping will take the delivery of the BH SHIJIAZHUANG as a new starting point. It will continue to optimize its shipping capacity structure and accelerate the construction progress of subsequent vessels; comprehensively enhance vessel operation and management levels to build a digitalized and intelligent shipping management system; and continuously deepen collaborative cooperation with upstream and downstream partners in the industrial chain. Bohai Ocean Shipping will fully leverage the comprehensive advantages of Hebei Communications Investment Group, actively integrate into the national "Belt and Road" initiative and the coordinated development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, continuously strengthen its core competitiveness and industry influence, and contribute Bohai Ocean Shipping's strength to promoting Hebei Province's leap from a "major maritime province" to a "strong maritime province," and to building a strong transportation and maritime nation!
