B[The construction of the world's first 325,000-ton methanol dual-fuel ore ship was completed] September 1st, the world's first 325,000-ton methanol dual-fuel ore ship was completed in Yangzhou, Jiangsu this morning and named the "Ocean Silk Road" ship. The ship is equipped with the world's first digital ship delivery system, marking a new breakthrough for China's shipbuilding industry in the two frontier fields of green power and digital delivery. This giant ship was jointly designed by COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry and Shanghai Ship Research and Design Institute. It has a length of 339.9 meters, a width of 62 meters, and a load capacity of 325,000 tons. During the construction process, the ship made breakthroughs in a number of key technologies for the application of methanol fuel, and its cargo hold capacity is increased by more than 40% compared with traditional ore ships of the same size. According to reports, the ship is scheduled to be put into operation in October this year. It will provide a "Chinese solution" for the green and intelligent transformation of global shipping and provide more reliable transport capacity support for the stable and smooth flow of the bulk commodity supply chain.
