On December 29, the world’s largest 24000teu container ship, first manufactured by China, was successfully docked at No. 1 dock of Changxing Shipbuilding Base of Hudong Zhonghua shipbuilding (Group) Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of China Cssc Holdings Limited(600150) Group Co., Ltd., laying a foundation for completion and delivery in the first half of next year, marking another major breakthrough made by China Cssc Holdings Limited(600150) industry in the field of super large container construction. This is a milestone node following the successful floating of China’s first large cruise ship in Shanghai Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone Group Co.Ltd(600648) shipyard on December 17, and the world’s largest B-type super large ethane carrier (vlec) with a cabin capacity of 99000 cubic meters with fully independent intellectual property rights was named and delivered in Jiangnan Shipbuilding in just half a month on December 28, The three major shipping enterprises in Shanghai have jointly written a new chapter of the three breakthroughs in China Cssc Holdings Limited(600150) industry, which not only injected a warm current into the cold winter, but also presented a generous gift for the relocation of China Cssc Holdings Limited(600150) group headquarters to Shanghai.
The ship is independently designed by Hudong Zhonghua and has completely independent intellectual property rights. It is the first ship of six 24000teu super large container ships ordered by EVA group. With a total length of 399.99 meters, a shape width of 61.5 meters and a shape depth of 33.2 meters, it is currently the largest container ship in the world, known as the “Big Mac” at sea. It is equipped with a hybrid scrubber desulfurization device, which adopts the latest global technical design of green environmental protection, energy conservation, efficiency and safety owned by Hudong Zhonghua, such as the exquisite bow design, large-diameter propeller and energy-saving conduit developed by Hudong Zhonghua, so that the ship has the advantages of rapidity and low energy consumption, and all performance indexes have reached the international advanced level.
In order to adapt to the new development trend of batch specialized construction of super large container ships and build a flagship enterprise of China’s construction of large container ships, Hudong Zhonghua decided to lengthen the length of dock No. 1 from 520 meters to 660 meters in 2020, so as to meet the needs of building a semi series container ship such as 24000teu container ship and the customization needs of current mainstream ship owners to receive a new ship every two months, Form an annual capacity of 5 ~ 6 super large container ships, and comprehensively improve the construction speed and efficiency. At the same time, Hudong Zhonghua attaches great importance to the construction of this series of ships, continuously optimizes and improves the hardware facilities of the shipyard, continuously improves the production planning and fine management, and strengthens the full communication, effective coordination, cooperation and mutual trust with ship owners and ship inspection. At the same time, in strict accordance with the requirements of unified and complete modeling and drawing, it realizes the efficient integration and sharing of design data, ensures the complete integration of outfitting tray data, improves the loading efficiency and docking integrity, and reflects the comprehensive strength of Hudong Zhonghua intelligent manufacturing.
As a leading enterprise in the design and construction of large container ships in China, Hudong Zhonghua has built more than 60 large container ships with more than 8000 containers for major ships around the world, including five of the world’s first 23000 TEU dual fuel LNG powered container ships, with safety, economy and high quality standards, and has accumulated rich construction experience and delivery performance, It has been highly recognized by the market and ship owners.
