As previously reported, China Merchants Jinling Shipyard (CMJL Nanjing) would construct the 9,000 CEU warships.
Constructing warships
They will be 228 metres long, 15.4 metres deep, and 37.8 metres wide when moulded.
Additionally, the ships will be fitted with a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system, which uses catalyst elements and a reducing agent to lower the level of nitrogen oxide in the engine exhaust gas. The exhaust gas stream is treated by adding a reducing agent made of a urea water solution. As the urea solution is pumped into the hot exhaust gas, the water in the solution evaporates.
Decreasing GHG
The car carriers will have scrubbers installed to further decrease greenhouse gas emissions. The company plans to use methanol in the ships’ engines, making them future-proof. The use of eco-friendly technology and green fuel is expected to help the car carriers meet the International Maritime Organisation’s Tier III targets. The classification societies DNV and China Classification Society (CCS) will classify the vessels. In January, SIAC Anji ordered the construction of seven methanol-ready car carriers in two separate orders for Pure Car and Truck Carrier (PCTC) vessels with a capacity of 8,900 CEU. China Merchants Jinling Shipyard (CMJL Nanjing) will build four of the vessels, while China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC) will construct the remaining three, according to Clarksons.
