On November 28 at 9:46 AM, Zhoushan Changhong International launched the fourth 5300TEU container ship CHB2024, built for the Greek shipowner NAVIOS MARITIME PARTNERS L. P., at the floating dock, marking the successful completion of the launching phase. After launching, the ship will be docked for overall lifting of the superstructure and subsequent outfitting work at the terminal.

The ceremony was attended by Mr. Christoforos Konstantinidis, the manager of the shipowner's on-site office, the supervising representative Mr. Wang Jiangpeng from DNV GL, and Mr. Fu Dafei, the assistant general manager of the shipbuilding company, among other leaders.
The ship has a total length of approximately 237.8 meters, a beam of 38.8 meters, and a depth of 21.8 meters, and is classified by DNV GL. The design concept of this ship type overturns the traditional long and narrow design of container ships, optimizing the hull shape with a wide-body concept. Its main dimensions are significantly smaller than current ships with the same container capacity, while its stability is greatly superior to traditional container ships, and the ballast water requirement is significantly reduced compared to similar ships on the market, saving costs. There are a total of 10 ships in this series, with the first ship delivered and put into operation on November 9.
