Recently, Shanxi Diesel Heavy Industry successfully secured a contract with a prominent domestic shipowner for a 9,500 m³ liquefied ethylene gas (LEG) carrier generator set project. This marks the first entry of Shanxi Diesel Heavy Industry’s products into the auxiliary equipment market for this vessel type.
The 9,500m³ LPG carrier contracted this time represents a mainstream vessel type currently attracting significant attention in the international shipping market. Leveraging decades of technical expertise in medium- and high-speed, high-power diesel engines, along with a precise understanding of the shipowner’s customized requirements, Shanxi Diesel Heavy Industry ultimately won the client’s trust through outstanding product performance and comprehensive solutions.
The electrical system utilizes SXD-DK20 series diesel generator sets manufactured by Shanxi Diesel Heavy Industry. As a mature power platform in the marine power generation sector, this product offers significant advantages including operational reliability, superior economy, and strong resistance to load shocks. Its design fully addresses the demanding requirements for round-the-clock, uninterrupted power supply during the transport of hazardous chemicals like liquefied ethylene by LEG vessels. It ensures stable vessel operation under various complex sea conditions, providing a solid foundation for the safe navigation of LEG ships.
From traditional bulk carriers and container ships to today’s high-end LPG carriers, the market footprint of Shanxi Diesel Heavy Industry is continuously expanding, laying a solid foundation for deeper penetration into the high-end gas carrier market.
