Recently, Jiangmen Nanyang Ship Engineering successfully delivered its first 64,500 DWT eco-friendly Supramax bulk carrier, marking the company’s entry into a new era of simultaneously developing 40.5K and 64.5K-class vessels.
The vessel has an overall length of 199.9 meters, a beam of 32.26 meters, a depth of 18.9 meters, and a design draft of 13.5 meters. With a deadweight of 64,500 tonnes, it is a “green” Supramax bulk carrier that balances cargo capacity, economic efficiency, and environmental performance.
Jiangmen Nanyang Ship Engineering stated that, compared to the previous generation of mainstream 63,500 DWT vessel designs, the new design achieves a 1,500-cubic-meter increase in cargo capacity, a 1,000-ton increase in deadweight, and a reduction of nearly 450 tons in light ship weight—all while reducing power consumption and fuel consumption—thereby delivering dual improvements in loading capacity and vessel lightweighting.
As the first 64,500 DWT vessel built by Jiangmen Nanyang Shipbuilding, this ship not only represents a significant step in expanding the shipyard’s portfolio of large, eco-friendly bulk carriers, but also serves as a clear demonstration of the shipbuilder’s comprehensive capabilities in areas such as R&D and design, production organization, quality control, and construction coordination.
