Signing ceremony for 6 x 16000TEU container ships
Signing ceremony for 4 x 37000 DWT Great Lakes bulk carriers
At the beginning of 2022, Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Co. (DSIC), a subsidiary of China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC), seized market opportunities and secured two new shipbuilding orders. This includes signing a construction contract for 6 dual-fuel 16000TEU container ships with a well-known European shipowner, and opening new cooperation with Polish shipowner PZM, signing a construction contract for 4 x 37000 DWT Great Lakes bulk carriers, achieving a strong start for business intake in 2022.
Amid increasing global pressure for environmental protection and emission reduction, DSIC actively practices its mission and responsibility for global green development by combining the adoption of dual-fuel technology and optimizing conventional powered ship types to meet EEDI phase III indicators. Together with shipowners, DSIC contributes to the green and sustainable development of global shipping. The dual-fuel 16000TEU container ships will be built at DSIC's headquarters and Tianjin base, while the 37000 DWT Great Lakes bulk carriers will be built by the Shanhaiguan base. The acquisition of these two projects provides concrete ship order guarantees for the development of DSIC's three shipbuilding product bases and lays a good foundation for future expansion into the dual-fuel container ship market, forming bulk orders for container ships and bulk carriers, and improving operational efficiency.
Dual-fuel 16000TEU Container Ship
The dual-fuel 16000TEU container ship has an overall length of 366 meters, a moulded breadth of 51 meters, and a moulded depth of 30.2 meters. It adopts WinGD dual-fuel main engines and is equipped with the latest iCER-Diesel system, which can significantly reduce greenhouse gas and nitrogen oxide emissions from the vessel and improve main engine combustion efficiency. At the same time, this type of ship is also equipped with a shaft generator and uses an air lubrication drag reduction system, which can significantly improve the ship's overall economic performance, effectively reduce ship greenhouse gas emissions, and meet the latest IMO environmental regulations, making it a globally leading new-generation container ship. DSIC actively leads the global green development direction of carbon reduction and, together with shipowners, jointly determined the "ammonia fuel ready" solution, making this series of vessels the world's first batch of "ammonia fuel ready" ultra-large dual-fuel container ships. This achieves the transformation and upgrading to future "zero-carbon ship types" and sets a new industry benchmark for new-generation green and environmentally friendly ship types, embodying the group's high-quality development strategy through practical actions.
37000 DWT Great Lakes Bulk Carrier
The 37000 DWT Great Lakes bulk carrier is a specialized vessel engaged in bulk cargo transportation in the Great Lakes region bordering the United States and Canada. This project's ship type has an overall length of 199.99 meters, a moulded breadth of 23.70 meters, a moulded depth of 15.60 meters, and a design draft of 10.70 meters. It is equipped with a shaft generator, controllable pitch propeller, and an SCR nitrogen oxide emission purification system. Its Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) also meets the International Maritime Organization's standards effective in 2025 (EEDI phase III). Its operational performance, economic performance, and environmental performance are all superior to similar products. The shipowner PZM (Polska Żegluga Morska P.P) is one of Europe's largest dry bulk shipowners and operators. The Shanhaiguan base has historically delivered over 50 Great Lakes bulk carriers. The acquisition of this project marks the return of DSIC's Shanhaiguan base to the Great Lakes bulk carrier market, allowing for fuller utilization of Shanhaiguan base's past experience and production resources.
