It is reported that construction of these two new vessels is scheduled to commence in April 2026, with delivery expected in July 2027. The total investment for each vessel is 331.68 million yuan, including 200 million yuan in equipment and technology investment. The ships, designed by the Shanghai Merchant Ship Design and Research Institute (SDARI), feature high-end and green characteristics in terms of performance and technical configuration.
The vessels have an overall length of 230.00 meters and a molded breadth of 40.00 meters. The hull design meets the operational requirements of mainstream航线s while ensuring compatibility with berthing conditions at multiple ports, offering strong route adaptability. In terms of the propulsion system, each ship is equipped with a WINGD 6X72-B main engine, a Saier ES shaft generator, and anti-swirl fins with a guiding nozzle. The collaborative action of these multiple advanced devices significantly reduces fuel consumption and carbon emissions during navigation, aligning with the current mainstream trend of green and low-carbon development in the shipping industry and meeting the relevant national policy requirements for ship energy conservation and emission reduction.
