2023-09-11
On the afternoon of September 8, the domestic first-built 16,000m³ methanol refueling transport ship "Haigang Zhiyuan" (originally named Jiuli 668) modification project was successfully signed at Zhoushan Putuo Changhong Shipbuilding Co., Ltd.
"Haigang Zhiyuan" is 135 meters long, 20 meters wide, and has a deadweight of 11,000 tons. It is a foreign trade oil chemical ship. After the project is signed, it will be transformed into a methanol refueling transport ship at Putuo Changhong, used for refueling methanol dual-fuel cargo ships, with the shipowner being Shanghai Port Group.
At the 2015 Paris Climate Conference, heads of state proposed carbon emissions and carbon neutrality. Methanol dual-fuel ship main engines immediately became an emerging technology adopted by major shipping companies worldwide to reduce carbon emissions from ships during navigation. In the coming years, a large number of ship main engines will be converted to methanol dual-fuel systems, and methanol refueling ships like "Haigang Zhiyuan" being modified at Putuo Changhong will provide methanol fuel replenishment for these ships with methanol dual-fuel systems.
"Haigang Zhiyuan" is scheduled to dock at Putuo Changhong on September 20, with a modification period of 100 days. The main repair projects include:
1.Marine Line special coating for 12 cargo oil tanks and 2 slop tanks.
2.The original refueling pipe on the deck will be modified to a 316L stainless steel pipe exceeding 10 tons.
3.Installation of nitrogen generation facilities at the stern.
4.Installation of 6 refueling stations on both sides of the ship, using the STS refueling system.
5.Installation of monitoring facilities, remote control, internal communication, and other auxiliary equipment.
All modification projects and equipment commissioning must be completed by December 31, 2023.
The successful signing of the project symbolizes that Changhong International Ship Repair's technical strength and brand charm have reached a new level, and this move will also accumulate important practical experience for the company's subsequent entry into the ship dual-fuel modification field.
