On February 3, Zhoushan Tsuneishi Shipbuilding successfully delivered a 5,900 TEU methanol dual-fuel container ship to its owner, setting a new record for the largest container capacity vessel delivered by the company.
The delivery of this vessel marks Zhoushan Tsuneishi Shipbuilding’s formal integration as a key component within Tsuneishi Shipbuilding global multi-vessel, multi-facility new fuel shipbuilding system. It also signifies the successful expansion of Tsuneishi Shipbuilding’s strategy for large-scale construction of eco-friendly vessels to overseas core bases, including Zhoushan Tsuneishi Shipbuilding. This achievement not only embodies the company’s technological prowess and construction capabilities but also represents a significant stride forward in the development of green shipping.
