On October 21-22, Shanhaiguan Shipbuilding Industry Co., Ltd. (SHGSIC) under Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Corporation (DSIC) achieved a major production milestone with the consecutive delivery of two vessels.
On October 21, SHGSIC formally named and delivered the 84,500 DWT multi-purpose pulp vessel, built for CITIC Financial Leasing. The new vessel was christened “CSPC JUPITER”.
This vessel is currently the world’s largest multi-purpose pulp vessel by tonnage. It boasts exceptional adaptability and loading efficiency, and is capable of transporting a wide range of cargoes, including pulp, ore, containers, new energy vehicles and grain.
Equipped with main engine high-pressure SCR and generator low-pressure SCR systems, the vessel meets Tier III NOx emissions standards. Equipped with an exhaust gas scrubbing system, it can meet international SOx emission regulations even when operating with high-sulfur fuel. Furthermore, the vessel meets the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) Phase III requirements, with carbon emissions 50% below the baseline, meeting CCS green ship standards.
On October 22, SHGSIC successfully delivered the 37,000 DWT Great Lakes cargo vessel, built for Poland’s PZM company. The vessel was named the “POLSTEAM WELTYN”.
The vessel has an overall length of 199.9 meters, a beam of 23.7 meters, and a designed speed of 13 knots. Equipped with shaft generators, variable-speed propellers, and an SCR nitrogen oxide emission purification system, the vessel meets the International Maritime Organization’s Energy EEDI Phase III standard, making it a new generation of energy-efficient and environmentally friendly bulk carrier. Its actual deadweight capacity is approximately 37,500 tons, the highest among Great Lakes bulk carriers of its type and class, demonstrating excellent cargo suitability, economy, and market competitiveness.
Additionally, this Great Lakes bulk carrier meets the navigational requirements of the St. Lawrence Seaway, enabling it to traverse the Great Lakes region bordering the United States and Canada via the St. Lawrence Seaway.
