New feeders to be built on dual-fuel LNG-basis


The Chinese Huangpu-Wenchong Shipbuilding Company (HPWS) has entered into a joint development project (JDP) with DNV GL on a 5,000 teu LNG dual-fuel containership. According to the agreement, the two partners will jointly develop a new dual-fuel 5,000 teu Panamax container ship for the intra-Asia trades.

 

In order to minimise energy consumption, emissions to air, and achieve a better cargo capacity with lower Opex, the vessel will use LNG as ship fuel. Enhanced ergonomic design features for greater crew comfort, as well as cutting edge intelligent ship technology are further highlights of this new green and smart ship.

 

The JDP includes drawing assessments, an AIP statement, and a workshop looking into intra-Asia container transportation. The CSSC Huangpu Wenchong Shipbuilding Company is the major building base of dredgers and feeder container vessels in China, with capacities of 1,100 teu to 3,400 teu. (fd)
