On April 18 at 10:38 AM, Changhong International held a grand naming and delivery ceremony for the 8th 2500 TEU container ship CHB2022, built for the shipowner Shangjing Logistics, at the company's Phase II terminal.

Senior leaders from the shipowner company, ship management company, Jiangsu Financial Leasing, Jihui Ship Brokerage, Tiantai Container, Lloyd's Register, MAN Engines, SMT Supervision, China International Marine Containers Group, and Changhong International gathered together to discuss friendship and seek development. With the successful delivery of this ship, Changhong has perfectly concluded the construction of 8 ships in the 2500 TEU series for the shipowner Shangjing Logistics.

The 2500 TEU container ship, as the first project of cooperation between Changhong International and Shangjing Logistics, has received great attention from the company since the contract was signed on March 31, 2021. Over the past three years, with the help of the two major shareholders, New Changjiang Group and China International Marine Containers Group, and the strong support of the shipowner and ship inspection, the Changhong shipbuilding team has worked hard and pursued excellence, delivering each ship ahead of schedule with zero defects, creating value for the shipowner, earning a good reputation for itself, and laying a solid foundation for further cooperation between both parties.

This ship type is a new generation of 'Bangkok's largest' container ship, which can stack 2 more rows of containers compared to traditional Bangkok-type container ships, featuring large carrying capacity, more container slots, low fuel consumption, and energy-saving and environmentally friendly characteristics. Based on the operational characteristics of the shipowner's routes, the ship's hull form underwent multiple rounds of CFD optimization and was tested in the HSVA tank in Germany, demonstrating excellent hydrodynamic performance, with EEDI meeting Phase III requirements, approximately 36% below the reference line.

This type of ship was developed and designed by the CIMC Design Research Institute (CIMC ORIC), with a total length of 171.95 meters, a beam of 32.2 meters, a depth of 16.7 meters, a design speed of 18 knots, and classified by LR classification society.
