en.Wedoany.com Reported - On May 6, CSSC Guangzhou Shipyard International (GSI) reported another success—the smooth undocking of the first 10,800-CEU LNG dual-fuel Pure Car and Truck Carrier (PCTC) built for KOBC, and the sixth 110,000 DWT LR dual-fuel oil tanker built for Singapore's Eastern Pacific Shipping (EPS).
KOBC 10,800-CEU LNG Dual-Fuel PCTC Hull No. 1
The KOBC 10,800-CEU LNG dual-fuel PCTC is the first vessel in a series of 10,800-CEU LNG dual-fuel PCTCs being built by GSI for KOBC. The ship adopts a fuel oil and LNG dual-fuel propulsion system, equipped with a shaft generator, meeting the IMO Tier III emission standards. It features energy-saving devices such as a twisted rudder, hub cap fins, and a pre-duct, and is also equipped with photovoltaic panels and a shore power system, forming a "shaft generator + LNG + photovoltaic + shore power" green and low-carbon operation solution for the entire voyage.
During the dock construction period, the GSI project team, in collaboration with various production departments, coordinated the preparation of a special plan centered on the undocking integrity requirements, implemented multi-area synchronous parallel operations, completed the laying and inspection of nearly 500 kilometers of cables across the entire ship, with 30% of commissioning items completed; and finished the grinding and painting of the entire ship's open deck.
EPS 110,000 DWT LR Dual-Fuel Oil Tanker Hull No. 6
On the same day, the sixth 110,000 DWT LR dual-fuel oil tanker built by GSI for EPS was also successfully undocked.
The vessel has an overall length of 250 meters, a molded breadth of 44 meters, and a deadweight tonnage of 111,000 tons. It adopts dual-fuel propulsion, meets IMO Tier III emission standards, and its EEDI energy efficiency index reaches Phase 3, combining high efficiency, energy saving, and environmental protection advantages. A total of 8 vessels are planned for this series, and this ship is the sixth in the series.
According to reports, the vessel was undocked in a state of high-quality integrity, with all assessments for the "Three Clearances and Six Closures" passing. The project team fully summarized the construction experience from previous vessels, sorted out the difficulties affecting the critical path, and broke through the milestone node of completing scaffold removal for 7 pairs of cargo oil tanks before undocking. The overall ship commissioning items were 67% complete, achieving a leapfrog increase in undocking integrity.
