On March 21, the 2nd 85000DWT bulk carrier (H3092) built by Huangpu Wenchong Shipbuilding Company of China Shipbuilding Group for Zhejiang Xinyihai successfully completed its sea trial.

The vessel has an overall length of 228.9m, a width of 36.0m, a depth of 20.15m, a design draft of 11.8m, a structural draft of 14.0m, and a deadweight of approximately 85000 tons.

The ship's undocking and sea trial cycle took only 25 days. Faced with this challenge, the General Assembly Department planned and deployed early, unswervingly promoting "four integrities." The overall outfitting integrity and undocking outfitting integrity reached new highs, achieving a sea trial 25 days after undocking for the first time.

Overall outfitting integrity reached a new high

Piping outfitting integrity: 122%, an 8% increase compared to the 1st vessel

Steel outfitting integrity: 103%, an 11% increase compared to the 1st vessel

Electrical outfitting integrity: 101%, a 9% increase compared to the 1st vessel

25 compartments of the total sections achieved 100% integrity inspection, an increase of 8 compared to the 1st vessel

Undocking outfitting integrity achieved a historic breakthrough Breakthrough

Piping: For the first time, the external and internal piping of the main engine lubricating oil and the anchor windlass hydraulic piping were completed and inspected in the dock;

Steel outfitting: For the first time, the pressure bonding of all ship hatches was completed and inspected in the dock, and the anchor chain stopper positioning was completed;

Electrical outfitting: 96KM of cables were laid throughout the ship 26 days before undocking;

Interior fitting: For the first time, all interior fitting work was completed in the dock, reaching the sea trial state;

Debugging: 50 systems were inspected before undocking, including the generator load and switchboard completed in the dock, achieving a breakthrough of "zero" static alarm inspections of the main engine in the dock.

During the sea trial, the sea trial personnel worked closely together, planning the inspection items for each day in advance to ensure that each test could be completed efficiently. With everyone's concerted efforts, all test items passed inspection on the first try, and various issues raised by the crew were promptly resolved. The number of follow-up items was reduced by half compared to the 1st vessel, receiving unanimous praise from the ship owner. Subsequently, all participants in the General Assembly Department will continue to work together to follow up on the subsequent follow-up work and ensure on-time delivery.
