China's LNG ship with a cabin capacity of 271000 cubic meters has broken the world record

Release time:Apr 16, 2024 12:42 PM

On September 5th, at the Gastech 2023 conference held in Singapore, the design of a 271000 cubic meter ultra large liquefied natural gas transport vessel developed by Hudong China Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of China Shipbuilding Corporation, was awarded a principle recognition certificate by the four major international classification societies of the United States, Lloyd's Register of Shipping, Norway, and France.

According to industry insiders, this is the largest LNG transport ship developed and designed globally so far, which means that China's LNG ship research and development, design, and construction have entered the super large field in one fell swoop, and it also marks a big step forward for China's high-end ship research and design capabilities towards the world's leading goal.

This "Big Mac" has a total length of 344 meters, a width of 53.6 meters, a depth of 27.2 meters, and a designed draft of 12.0 meters. It adopts a dual fuel low-speed engine propulsion and NO96 Super+enclosure system.

The ship adopts a 5-compartment scheme, with a compact scale and a 57% increase in carrying capacity compared to the conventional 174000 cubic meter large LNG ship.

At the same time, the ship is equipped with the latest generation of cargo enclosure system, which has a lower evaporation rate and a 9.9% reduction in energy consumption per ton of sea freight transportation compared to 174000 cubic meters of LNG ships.

In addition, although it is the largest LNG ship, due to its diversified optimized draft and loading design, the ship can reach more than 70 shore stations on all continents around the world, covering major mainstream routes, and has excellent ship shore compatibility.

At present, global LNG trade is booming, with significant growth in LNG exports from the Middle East and North America. China's LNG imports are also showing a high-speed growth trend year by year. In this context, Hudong Zhonghua has developed a 271000 cubic meter ultra large LNG transport ship with the title of "world champion", which fills the demand gap with a single ship's large capacity and meets market expectations.

According to calculations, a 270000 cubic meter LNG ship can transport 155 million cubic meters of natural gas at once, providing a monthly gas supply for 4.7 million households in Shanghai. Without expanding the berths at the receiving terminal, the receiving capacity of the terminal will be significantly improved, effectively ensuring the continuous growth of China's LNG import demand.

LNG transport ships are widely recognized as one of the most difficult ship types to build in the world. They are "super refrigerated trucks" that carry LNG at minus 163 degrees Celsius, and are known as the "jewels on the crown" of the world's shipbuilding industry.

This new ship type has been certified by the classification society, which means there are no problems in the design and construction field. As long as the customer places an order, this "giant" will soon move from a "blueprint" to a blue ocean.

Shanghai's annual plum blossom season falls on June 19th. As the plum rain approaches, will the high school entrance examination be affected? Based on the latest climate monitoring, domestic and foreign dynamic climate models, and objective methods, the National Climate Center predicts that the Jiangnan and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River will both enter the rainy season around June 18th, with the rainy season occurring later than usual. The rainy season will be shorter, and the amount of rainy season will be close to or less than usual. It is expected that after the onset of the plum blossom season, strong convective weather will be active in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, with frequent occurrences of short-term heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, strong winds, tornadoes, hail, and other strong convective weather. According to the prediction of Shanghai center Meteorological Observatory, affected by the vortex shear line, there will be a relatively obvious precipitation process in Shanghai during the 2023 mid-term exam, in which the precipitation will be more concentrated from 18th to 19th, with uneven rainfall distribution, and may be accompanied by lightning, short-term heavy precipitation and thunder

Repairing old buildings is a meticulous task that requires experienced craftsmen to pass it on hand. But now, there are 1058 excellent historical buildings in Shanghai, totaling five batches, with a large quantity and a wide area. Relying solely on manpower to repair and maintain them is far from enough. How to solve this pain point? Today is the 18th Cultural and Natural Heritage Day. The reporter learned from the joint main event organized by the Municipal Housing and Urban Rural Development Commission, the Municipal Housing Management Bureau, and the Hongkou District People's Government on "Continuing the Historical Context and Improving Urban Quality" that Shanghai is promoting the digital transformation pilot of excellent historical building management to solve the problem of insufficient repair manpower. More and more excellent historical buildings will be equipped with intelligent sensors. The reporter learned from the Shanghai Housing Management Bureau that old buildings that use intelligent sensors will collaborate with the Shanghai Fine Management Platform and Urban Management Department to monitor

On June 7th, the Shanghai Municipal Planning and Resources Bureau announced that the design plans for 15 public buildings and landscape projects in five new cities in 2023 have come to an end, and will accelerate the gathering of high-quality public resources in the new cities. 15 public building and landscape projects have attracted 45 design units from 9 countries to participate. A batch of excellent design proposals stood out in the layers of evaluation. The proposals presented this time have basically demonstrated the planning and design trends of the new city. For example, highlighting "people's cities" and caring for the needs of the people. In March of this year, relevant departments in Shanghai held an event to solicit opinions from citizens on the construction of the new city. As of March 31, a total of 3786 proposals have been received. These suggestions revolve around transportation facilities, ecological environment, public services, outdoor public spaces, etc., and are provided to the design team in the early stage of the design, as the focus of the scheme design
