On June 26, the 9,000 DWT specialized liquid cargo vessel, built by Mawei Shipbuilding, a subsidiary of Fujian Shipbuilding Industry Group, successfully completed its sea trials.
The sea trials were completed over a period of three days and two nights, covering all planned test items. Key performance data—including speed and fuel consumption, communication and navigation systems, unmanned engine room operations, vibration and noise levels in compartments, and underwater radiated noise—met or exceeded design specifications. The vessel demonstrated exceptional maneuverability, stability, and environmental performance, fully validating its reliability and advanced capabilities in complex sea conditions.
Next, Mawei Shipbuilding will proceed with the final wrap-up work prior to delivery, ensuring the vessel is delivered to a high standard of quality.
Mawei Shipbuilding reports that the 9,000 DWT specialized liquid cargo vessel has an overall length of 119.8 meters, a design speed of 13 knots, and an operating range of 12,000 nautical miles. Featuring a state-of-the-art low-resistance hull design and multiple energy-saving devices, the vessel leads the industry in energy efficiency and emissions reduction, fully complying with IMO Tier III nitrogen oxide (NOx) emission standards.
Its specially designed cargo tanks enable the safe transport of various liquid cargoes—including asphalt, refined petroleum products with a flash point above 60°C, and Type II chemicals—thereby meeting the diverse needs of clients. Furthermore, the vessel is equipped with advanced navigation and intelligent monitoring systems that significantly enhance safety management and operational efficiency, making it a modern, high-tech, and environmentally friendly specialized vessel.
