On November 20, the world’s largest 24,000 TEU liquefied natural gas (LNG)-powered and dual-fuel ultra-large container ship built by Hudong-Zhonghua, a subsidiary of China State Shipbuilding Corporation, was successfully undocked 10 days ahead of schedule, according to China Shipbuilding Group’s release, reports en.portnews.ru.
First in series
The ship is the first in a series of four 24,000 TEU dual-fuel container ships ordered by CMA CGM Group, designed by China Shipbuilding Group 708, and is an upgraded and optimized Hudong-Zhonghua container ship following the completion and delivery of the world’s first 23,000 TEU dual-fuel container ship in September 2020.
Compared with the same type of tanker ship, the ship’s carbon dioxide emissions are reduced by about 20%, nitrogen oxide emissions are reduced by up to 85%, and particulate matter and sulfur oxide emissions are reduced by 99%, which greatly reduces environmental pollution.
