On September 24, Zhoushan Dashenzhou Shipbuilding and South Korea’s Inficess Shipping held a grand steel cutting ceremony for the 14,500 DWT stainless steel chemical tanker at the Dashanzhou Panchi facility.
This vessel is the second stainless steel chemical tanker built by Dashenzhou Shipbuilding in collaboration with South Korea’s Inficess Shipping. Incorporating internationally advanced design and manufacturing techniques, it features an intelligent environmental protection system that delivers exceptional corrosion resistance and operational efficiency. It can safely carry a wide range of high-specification chemicals and fully meets the latest international environmental and safety standards.
On September 23, the 5,500-cubic-meter liquefied gas carrier built by Dashenzhou Shipbuilding was successfully delivered to Vietnamese shipowner BME Shipping. This advanced vessel, integrating safety, environmental protection, and efficiency, will navigate the international shipping market with outstanding performance, emerging as a new force in green energy transportation.
The fully pressurized 5,500 m³ LPG carrier “LADY BME” is designed to international unlimited navigation standards and is equipped with a Yanmar 6EY33W Tier III main engine and Svanehoj liquid cargo pumps. With a design minimum temperature of -10°C and a design pressure of 17.6 bar, the vessel is capable of carrying a variety of LPG-related petrochemical products, including butadiene, butane, butenes, dimethyl ether, isoprene, mixed C4 cargoes, pentane, propane, pentene, propylene, propylene oxide, and vinyl chloride. These sophisticated equipment and high-standard design parameters provide a solid foundation for the “LADY BME” to achieve an exceptional balance of overall performance.
The LPG carrier “LADY BME” utilizes cutting-edge liquefied gas storage and transportation technology and is equipped with an intelligent control system, fully complying with high international safety standards. During construction, the project team overcame numerous challenges, delivering on their commitments to customers with professional expertise and a rigorous approach, demonstrating the strength of China’s intelligent manufacturing.
This delivery not only vividly demonstrates the deepening economic and trade cooperation between China and Vietnam but also marks a landmark step in Dazhou Shipbuilding’s global strategic expansion. Seizing this opportunity, Dashenzhou Shipbuilding has further broadened its cooperation prospects in the international high-end shipbuilding market and enhanced its brand influence in the global specialty vessel sector.
