On December 16, the first phase of the intelligent green ship manufacturing base of Hubei Changze Shipbuilding Industry Co., Ltd. was completed, and the first batch of LNG-powered new energy ships in the Han River basin began construction simultaneously, marking the entry of Han River shipping into the new energy era. The 3 new energy vessels built on the same day, including 1 69-meter dump ship and 2 88-meter 3,000-ton dual-use distribution ships, are all LNG single-fuel-powered ships, and have characteristics such as green, intelligent, and standardized. “We use a new segmented construction process to build a ship as modular and intelligent as a car, doubling efficiency.” Xu Yuantao, general manager of Changze Heavy Industries, said that the company cooperated with Wuhan Shipbuilding Vocational and Technical College to develop new energy small and medium-sized ships and standardized Han River models, shortening the construction period of a single ship from 6 months to 75 days.
