On September 27, Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding, a subsidiary of CSSC, and China Shipbuilding Trading officially signed a construction contract for eight 9,200TEU methanol dual-fuel medium-sized container ships with a well-known European liner company in Shanghai.
This is the largest batch order of this ship type in the world so far. It is also the first time that Waigaoqiao has entered the methanol dual-fuel ship market, becoming the company's next batch container ship type after the 7000TEU medium-sized container ship.
The ship has a total length of 299.9m, a width of 45.6m, a container capacity of 9200TEU, and is classified into BV. Methanol is used as the main fuel to meet EEDI Phase III. After being put into operation in the future, it can effectively ensure that the CII is at the leading level and meets the needs of green, low-carbon and environmental protection.
Currently, Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding ranks among the top ten in the world in terms of orders held. In addition to the first domestic large-scale cruise to be delivered soon, there are also domestic large-scale cruise No. 2, the world's original "universal" FPSO, as well as batch ship types such as 9000CEU PCTC, 7000TEU medium-sized container ships, Aframax tankers, Capesize and Newcastlemax bulk carriers.
