en.Wedoany.com Reported - Hengli Heavy Industry Group Co., Ltd. simultaneously named and delivered two 306,000 deadweight tonnage very large crude carriers (VLCCs), the "EVROS" and "ACHELOOS," on June 5, setting a new global record in the shipbuilding industry with the dual-ship delivery and naming on the same day. During the delivery ceremony, the two giant vessels were connected bow to stern, sounding their horns in the presence of the shipowner, classification society, and Chinese and international guests. From "simultaneous undocking" to "same-day delivery," this achievement showcases the delivery capability of Chinese shipbuilders.

Previously, these two giant vessels were simultaneously undocked from the same dry dock, completing the process from dock construction to naming and delivery in one seamless operation, with each ship delivered at least three months ahead of the contract schedule. The vessel design was independently developed by Hengli Heavy Industry, with an overall length of 332.8 meters, a beam of 60 meters, a depth of 30 meters, and a speed of 14.5 knots. It combines advantages of safety, green technology, comfort, and environmental friendliness, with the engine room and living quarters built to five-star hotel standards.

Both VLCCs delivered this time were built for Greek shipping giant Dynacom. Dynacom is one of the most influential shipowners in the global shipping industry and one of Hengli Heavy Industry's first overseas shipowners and key partners. Previously, the first 306,000 DWT VLCC independently developed and built by Hengli Heavy Industry was also constructed for Dynacom. To date, Dynacom has ordered over 40 vessels of various bulk carriers and tankers from Hengli Heavy Industry, of which 17 have been delivered with high quality, while the remaining projects are being produced on schedule and delivered ahead of time. All delivered vessels have performed excellently in operation, receiving widespread acclaim.

Along the quay of Hengli Heavy Industry, 30 giant vessels are simultaneously in the outfitting stage, with the order book extending to 2030.
