On April 19, China Shipbuilding Dalian Shipbuilding signed a contract for the construction of two liquid ammonia dual-fuel powered Aframax tankers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, with AET, a tanker company under MISC Group, a Malaysian international shipping company. He Xu, Deputy General Manager of Dalian Shipbuilding, Rajalingam Subramaniam, General Manager and CEO of MISC Group, Zahid Osman, General Manager and CEO of AET, and other leaders attended the signing ceremony. Representatives of both parties sign the construction contract.
This newly signed project is the world's first order for liquid ammonia fuel-powered tankers, and it is also another pilot product of Dalian Shipbuilding after the world's first LNG dual-fuel powered VLCC and the world's first methanol dual-fuel powered VLCC. The project has completely independent intellectual property rights, which is a concentrated embodiment of Dalian Shipbuilding's profound strength in green, environmentally friendly and efficient ship design and construction, and demonstrates its comprehensive strength in the whole process from R&D, design to construction. The achievement of this achievement also marks that the innovation ability and competitiveness of CSSC in the field of shipbuilding industry have once again reached a new level. It is not only an important milestone in the development of China's shipbuilding industry, but also a strong proof of China's status and influence in the global shipbuilding field. Looking forward to the future, CSSC will continue to be driven by innovation and lead the green development trend of the global shipbuilding industry.
The signing of this contract is a breakthrough for both the shipbuilding and shipping industries. In terms of the shipping industry, it profoundly demonstrates the firm determination and extraordinary courage of shipowners to deepen the development of zero-carbon shipping. In the context of the increasing global demand for environmental protection, shipowners' choice of liquid ammonia-fueled oil tankers is undoubtedly a positive response and strong promotion to the green and low-carbon development trend of the shipping industry in the future. In terms of shipbuilding, it marks an important breakthrough in the field of green shipbuilding in mainland China, and sets a new benchmark for the green development of the global shipbuilding industry.
This cooperation is the first time that MISC Group has cooperated with China Shipbuilding Group, and the successful signing of the project has also opened a new journey of mutual trust and cooperation between the two sides. In the future, Dalian Shipbuilding will work together with MISC and AET to meet the challenges, plan for development together, and continue to expand cooperation in follow-up projects. Dalian Shipbuilding will adhere to the pursuit of first-class product quality, adhere to careful design, fine optimization, delivery of the world's first project on time and quality, and write an answer sheet that satisfies customers.
