en.Wedoany.com Reported - On June 23, two 99,000 cubic meter Very Large Ethane Carriers (VLEC), named "GAS CARNATION" and "GAS BEGONIA", built by Jiangnan Shipyard under China State Shipbuilding Corporation, were officially named.

On the same day, the fourth batch of dock launching of the year took place at Jiangnan Shipyard's No. 3 Dock, with two high-end vessels—a 175,000 cubic meter LNG carrier and a 15,000 TEU methanol dual-fuel container ship—successfully launched.

Based on its independently developed Type B tank liquefied gas carrier, Jiangnan Shipyard has actively innovated, enabling the 99,000 cubic meter VLEC to further enhance cargo capacity while maintaining advantages such as high safety performance, low maintenance costs, and no cargo loading restrictions.

The construction team refined implementation in areas such as management improvement and technological advancement, combined with lean management principles, effectively promoting the smooth progress of the project. "GAS CARNATION" completed its delivery signing on the naming day, while "GAS BEGONIA" is expected to begin sea trials in early July and be delivered in August.

The 175,000 cubic meter LNG carrier achieved a dock construction cycle of 83 days, and the 15,000 TEU methanol dual-fuel container ship achieved an excellent launching condition, laying a solid foundation for shortening the subsequent dock-side construction cycle.

This batch of dock launching also completed the floating of two semi-ships: a 99,000 cubic meter VLEC and a 14,000 TEU container ship.
