In just over a month, it has won a total of 18 new ships from three overseas shipowners, with orders of more than 2.6 billion yuan. Today, Xinjiangzhou Shipbuilding Heavy Industry, which has just ushered in its first anniversary, has won the first order for methanol dual-fuel ships and officially entered the new energy ship market.
For the first time, shipowners placed orders in China, and Xinjiangzhou Shipbuilding Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. received orders for 8 methanol dual-fuel carriers
On April 23, Jiangxi Xinjiang Shipbuilding Industry Co., Ltd. reached a long-term strategic cooperation with Danish shipowner M.H. SIMONSEN APS in Xiachao Lake, Ruichang City, and successfully undertook the construction project of 8 6,800-ton duplex stainless steel electric propulsion methanol dual-fuel chemical tankers, with a total order value of 1.5 billion yuan.
The signing of the shipbuilding project has created five firsts in the shipbuilding industry in Jiangxi Province: the largest single ship construction export order, the first methanol dual-fuel ship order, the largest duplex stainless steel shipbuilding base, the first electric propulsion international cargo ship, and the first international mainstream classification society DNV/BV/ABS/LR/CCS grand slam shipyard.

The type of ship built in this cooperation is an IMO II chemical tanker, equipped with 14 duplex stainless steel cargo holds, which has wide cargo loading, strong navigation, green environmental protection, less manning, intelligent operation, Vibration and noise reduction: three synchronous generator sets with DC power distribution system, an electric propulsion unit equipped with two DC low-speed permanent magnet (PM) motors to drive a fixed-pitch propeller, a pair of methanol fuel tanks to provide methanol fuel for the generator, and a new independent full-ship energy storage unit to ensure safe navigation in the event of a power loss of the whole ship. The design concept of this ship applies the propulsion mode of DC power distribution and low-speed permanent magnet motor directly driven high-efficiency fixed-pitch propeller to small and medium-sized stainless steel chemical tankers, which has achieved a new breakthrough for the application scenarios of new energy on ships. The cooperative design company of the ship type is Shanghai Hanshun.

This project is the first time that SIMONSEN has placed an order for a ship in China since its establishment nearly 100 years ago. Founded in 1931 by founder Martin Hjorth Simonsen, SIMONSEN is a family-owned shipping company with all ships under its own management. The shipowner said that it will continue to optimize the fleet strategy and increase the number of self-managed ships to meet the transportation needs of the industry. After the first visit to Xinjiangzhou Shipbuilding Heavy Industry Co., Ltd., the on-site inspection of the equipment and facilities of the shipyard, the discussion and exchange of construction technology and design concepts, the whole indoor production process of Xinjiang Shipbuilding Heavy Industry, the cognitive ability of the management of shipbuilding, and the influence of shareholders in the industry are not available to other shipyards of the same type, and it is the best choice for cooperative ship construction projects. Thirteen days after the first visit, the construction contract was successfully signed with Xinjiangzhou Shipbuilding Heavy Industry.
