This type of ship is currently the world's largest VLGC ship type, the standard domestic and foreign products of the same type, in terms of ship performance has a strong competitive advantage:
The first application of independent research and development of innovative design of the rudder ball energy-saving device technology, making the ship's speed leading the international advanced water;
For the first time to achieve a low-temperature steel of the national production, a significant compression of the procurement cycle;
Ship cargo tank capacity upgrade, the structure of the net weight of only 250 tons, to ensure that the tank of the overall lifting;
Fuel endurance up to 23000 nautical miles, fuel consumption and gas consumption level ahead of the international level;
Meet the International Maritime Organization (IMO) latest NOx TierIII and SOx emission requirements, while meeting EEDI stage 3 emission requirements.
