en.Wedoany.com Reported - On May 14, the "OOCL Wisdom" (NE456), the world's first 24,000 TEU methanol dual-fuel container ship completely independently developed and designed by China's Nantong COSCO KHI Ship Engineering, successfully set sail from the Jiangsu section of the Yangtze River, entering the East China Sea to commence its sea trials.

The "OOCL Wisdom" was named on May 8, marking another major breakthrough for China in the design and construction of ultra-large clean energy vessels. According to the plan, the ship is expected to be delivered in June 2026.

The vessel has an overall length of 399.99 meters and a molded breadth of 61.30 meters, with a capacity of approximately 24,000 standard containers. The entire ship's power system is fully compatible with methanol fuel; the main engine, generators, and boilers can all use methanol fuel. Its Energy Efficiency Design Index far exceeds the latest standards of the International Maritime Organization. With a cruising range of 15,000 nautical miles using methanol fuel, it combines the advantages of ultra-low emissions and efficient operation.

The core breakthrough of the "OOCL Wisdom" lies in its first-ever application of the world's largest methanol dual-fuel power system, which can flexibly switch between methanol and traditional fuel oil modes, meeting the rigid global shipping demand for decarbonization and emission reduction.
