The "Ubuntu Unity" (H1544) started sea trials during the Spring Festival period. Various departments proactively worked overtime to ensure uninterrupted production and delivery during the holiday. During the sea trials, the project team planned scientifically, integrating LNG gas testing projects with conventional sea trial projects to ensure that all inspection items were successfully passed, and all technical indicators were excellent.
