On September 29, Huangpu Wenchong Shipbuilding, a subsidiary of China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC), achieved four major milestones in a single day: delivery of one vessel, kick-off of construction on another, and keel-laying for two additional vessels.
Huangpu Wenchong Shipbuilding held a delivery ceremony in Guangzhou for the “André M,” China’s first 25,000 m³ dual-fuel (ammonia) LPG/liquid ammonia carrier, built for Tianjin Southwest Maritime. With the delivery of this vessel, Huangpu Wenchong Shipbuilding has met—and even exceeded—the annual delivery target of 27 vessels set by China State Shipbuilding Corporation.
Huangpu Wenchong Shipbuilding held a steel cutting ceremony at its Longxue yard for the second 9,200 TEU container ship being built for Greece’s Danaos Shipping Co., Ltd.
Designed by the Shanghai Ship Research and Design Institute (SDARI), the vessel is 274 meters long and 45.6 meters wide. Equipped with energy-saving devices, it offers significant advantages such as cost-effectiveness and environmental friendliness.
Huangpu Wenchong Shipbuilding laid the keel for the first vessel (H2663) in the “Honghu” series of 1,900 TEU container ships, built for the Schoeller Holdings Group, at the Longxue yard.
Independently developed by Huangpu Wenchong Shipbuilding, this vessel has become a benchmark product in the global feeder container ship market thanks to its superior cargo-carrying capacity, flexible port adaptability, and outstanding environmental performance.
Huangpu Wenchong Shipbuilding laid the keel for the second 120-person wind turbine operation and maintenance vessel, built for the Schoeller Holdings Group, at the Longxue yard.
This vessel is a high-end offshore support vessel that meets the DNV COMF (C2, V2) high-comfort requirements. It is equipped with a 1,000 kWh power battery system and a DP-2 dynamic positioning system. Its primary operational equipment includes a 50-ton active wave-compensating offshore crane and a 30-meter-high, elevatable 3D wave-compensating gangway.
