Our country has the independent research and development capability to build large LNG transport ships.
In recent days, at Shanghai Hudong Zhonghua shipyard, a LNG tanker equipped with the latest generation dual-fuel low-speed propulsion system is being constructed and will be officially delivered by the end of the month. This type of ship is closely related to our lives, as China, being a major natural gas importer, relies heavily on these "marine super refrigerated trucks" for transporting large quantities of natural gas, in addition to pipeline transportation. These ships can efficiently transport large quantities of natural gas through low-temperature liquefaction, with a single shipment able to meet the gas needs of 3.3 million households for a month. China has the independent research and development capability for this type of ship, and large LNG tankers are considered as one of the "three pearls on the crown" of the shipbuilding industry, alongside large cruise ships and aircraft carriers. Yang Chunhua, director of the Hudong Zhonghua Development Institute of China Shipbuilding Group, explained that during long-distance ocean voyages, LNG inevitably evaporates like water, leading to loss. Therefore, this ship is equipped with a world-leading liquid cargo containment system that can safely transport liquefied natural gas at temperatures as low as -163 . Additionally, it utilizes a dual-fuel propulsion system, reducing daily carbon emissions by more than 10 tons compared to traditional fuel-driven ships.
