Recently, Hengli Heavy Industries signed contracts with Greek shipping giants MINERVA and LASKARIDIS for the construction of multiple LRII-type product tankers. Securing orders from these two Greek giants marks another significant step for Hengli Heavy Industries in the high-end liquid cargo vessel market and further solidifies its brand influence among major global shipowners.
LRII-type vessels, as the mainstay of the international refined oil transportation market, possess advantages such as large cargo capacity, strong port adaptability, and high operational efficiency, and are widely used on major routes in the Middle East, Europe and Asia Pacific.
The LRII-type vessels signed by Hengli Heavy Industries this time adopt the latest green and environmentally friendly design concept, meet IMO Tier I emission standards and combine low energy consumption, high safety as well as excellent operational performance, aligning with the global trend of green transformation in shipping.
In recent years, Hengli Heavy Industries has continuously deepened its presence in the international shipbuilding market, establishing stable cooperative relationships with several leading European shipowners. Greece, as a global shipping powerhouse, is a crucial foothold in Hengli Heavy Industries’ internationalization strategy. Greek shipowners have long provided substantial capacity for global oil transportation and are extremely discerning regarding the economic efficiency, delivery reliability and full lifecycle service of tankers.
The signing of agreements by both MINERVA and LASKARIDIS demonstrates a high level of recognition of Hengli Heavy Industries’ technology and shipbuilding capabilities, and lays a solid foundation for future in-depth cooperation between the two parties.
Looking to the future, Hengli Heavy Industries will continue to increase its investment in the research and development of high value-added vessel types, and help China’s shipbuilding industry to leap towards high-end, intelligent and green development with higher standards, better quality and stronger delivery.
