At 15:58 on August 15, the first 115,000-ton product oil and crude oil tanker CHB3001 of Changhong International was successfully launched on the shipbuilding platform.
Mr. Veza, the manager of the EPS shipowner supervision team, along with his team, Mr. Pang Maocan and Mr. Mustapha Baltaji from ABS classification society, Mr. Wang Jiazhen, Deputy General Manager of Changhong International Shipbuilding, and assistants Liu Ming and Fu Dafei attended the launching ceremony.
This 115,000-ton product oil and crude oil tanker project is another important achievement of deepening cooperation between Changhong International and the shipowner company X-Press Feeders, following the signing of contracts for 2 vessels of 2700 TEU and 6 vessels of 3100 TEU in 2018.
This ship type is a new generation LR2/Aframax oil tanker developed by Changhong International in collaboration with CIMC Shanghai Institute (CIMC ORIC) based on the latest specifications and rules, with a total length of 249.9 meters, a length between perpendiculars of 245.5 meters, a width of 44 meters, a depth of 21.5 meters, a structural draft of 15.2 meters, and a maximum deadweight tonnage of 115,000 tons.
The 115,000-ton tanker is the latest generation product of this type of vessel on the market, featuring significant energy-saving and environmental protection characteristics. It adopts a bulbous bow, which balances design draft and structural draft for improved performance, reducing overall fuel consumption and carbon emissions, achieving excellent carbon emission ratings. This vessel uses the latest generation 6G60ME main engine, equipped with larger diameter propellers compared to similar vessel types, as well as energy-saving devices such as vortex suppressors and energy-saving ducts, significantly improving propulsion efficiency. At the same design speed, the continuous power (NCR) of the vessel's main engine is reduced by 10% compared to similar vessels, achieving the highest energy efficiency index requirements in three stages. The project underwent multiple rounds of optimization in compartment division, total longitudinal bending moment, and center of buoyancy position, enhancing buoyancy and stability. It ensures maximum cargo hold volume and optimizes total longitudinal bending moment, achieving excellent lightweight indicators. After loading, the cargo hold volume can reach approximately 132,000 cubic meters, capable of carrying about 830,000 barrels of product oil or crude oil.
As the main vessel type of Changhong International in recent years, the company holds orders for 22 vessels of 115,000-ton tankers.
