On April 23, Jiangxi Xinjiang Shipbuilding Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Xinjiang Shipbuilding Heavy Industry") cooperated with Danish shipowner M.H. in Xiachao Lake, Ruichang City. SIMONSEN APS Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "SIMONSEN Company") has reached a long-term strategic cooperation and successfully undertook the construction project of 8 6,800-ton duplex stainless steel electric propulsion methanol dual-fuel chemical tankers. This project is SIMONSEN's first order for a ship in China in nearly 100 years since its founding.
The shipbuilding project was signed
It has created five firsts in the shipbuilding industry in Jiangxi Province
The largest single export order for ship construction
The first order for methanol dual-fuel ships
The largest duplex stainless steel shipbuilding base
The first electric propulsion international cargo ship
The first international mainstream classification society
DNV/BV/ABS/LR/CCS Grand Slam Shipyard
WU QIUPING, GENERAL MANAGER OF XINJIANGZHOU SHIPBUILDING INDUSTRY, SIGNED THE CONTRACT WITH LARS EJVIND HJORTH SIMONSEN, GENERAL MANAGER OF SIMONSEN, HUANG FANGWU, ASSISTANT GENERAL MANAGER OF XINJIANGZHOU SHIPBUILDING INDUSTRY, HANS HJORTH SIMONSEN, QUALITY MANAGER OF SIMONSEN, AND OTHER PERSONNEL ATTENDED THE SIGNING CEREMONY.
Xinjiang Shipbuilding Industry Co., Ltd. adheres to the business policy of "based on liquid cargo, deep cultivation of multi-purpose, expansion of new energy and small offshore engineering", adheres to the long-term goal of "building specialized and refined ships, and doing special and excellent shipyards", relying on the strength background of the two major shareholders, it has won the favor of mainstream shipowners in Europe, returned to the European stage with a strong return trend, made three breakthroughs in orders within two months, and signed bulk orders for new energy duplex stainless steel chemical tankers. The ship meets the low carbon emission requirements of the International Maritime Organization, and is equipped with a methanol dual-fuel system, DC busbar, energy consumption control, energy storage battery and energy efficiency management system, etc., achieving new breakthroughs in the application of many green technologies in real ships.
According to the data, Xinjiang Shipbuilding Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. currently holds orders for more than 20 international high-end ship construction projects, with a total order value of more than 2.6 billion, including different ship types such as chemical tankers, multi-purpose heavy crane ships, and new energy ships.
(Renderings of the ship type of the cooperation project)
The type of ship built in this cooperation is an IMO II chemical tanker, equipped with 14 duplex stainless steel cargo holds, with 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.
The shipowner, SIMONSEN, was founded in 1931 by founder Martin Hjorth Simonsen as a family-owned shipping company that manages all its vessels. 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 Xinjiangzhou Shipbuilding Heavy Industry, the cognitive ability of the management of shipbuilding, and the influence of shareholders in the industry are the conditions that other shipyards of the same type do not have, 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.
