en.Wedoany.com Reported - Today (the 29th), a 174,000 cubic meter large-scale LNG carrier built by CSSC Hudong-Zhonghua was officially delivered. This vessel is also China's first large LNG carrier to achieve the full-spectrum installation of domestically-produced ultra-low temperature valves in its cargo containment system, marking the establishment of a complete industrial chain for large LNG carriers in China, spanning from materials and design to supporting equipment.

The large LNG carrier delivered today is named "Putri Johor." It has an overall length of 299 meters, a molded breadth of 46.4 meters, and a deck area equivalent to three standard football fields. Equipped with four cargo tanks, it can transport 174,000 cubic meters of liquefied natural gas in a single voyage, which, when converted to gaseous state, can meet the monthly gas demand of 3.3 million households. Its technology has reached a globally leading level.

Wu An, Assistant Director of the Marketing Department at CSSC Hudong-Zhonghua and Chief Designer of "Putri Johor": Its energy efficiency, cargo capacity, and reliability have reached globally leading levels, adopting the world's most advanced cargo containment system and dual-fuel low-speed propulsion system.

Experts indicate that the 0.5% increase in carrying capacity should not be underestimated, as it equates to transporting nearly 900 cubic meters, or 500 tons, more of liquefied natural gas per voyage, further reducing transportation costs. Meanwhile, the key core component of this large LNG carrier used to maintain the LNG temperature below -163°C—the cargo containment system—has also achieved the full-spectrum installation of domestically-produced ultra-low temperature valves for the first time. According to the plan, after delivery, the "Putri Johor" will be put into operation on the Malaysia-to-China route.
