China State Shipbuilding Corp delivered the Hailong, or Sea Dragon, the most advanced diving support vessel China has ever built, to Jumeirah Offshore, a Singapore-based marine engineering company, in Guangzhou on Monday.

CSSC, a State-owned conglomerate and the world's largest shipbuilder, said in a statement on Monday that the ship was designed and constructed by Huangpu Wenchong Shipbuilding Co in Guangzhou, one of its subsidiaries, and Shanghai Bestway Marine Engineering Design Co.

It said the ship is the most advanced and capable of its kind built by China and its delivery symbolizes the nation's breakthrough in the research and development of diving and deep-sea equipment.

According to the statement, the Hailong is 124 meters long and 24 meters wide. It is able to accommodate 120 crew members and diving operation personnel and can sail 45 days in a single voyage without the need to resupply.

The vessel is capable of supporting a total of 24 divers conducting operations 300 meters under the water.

In addition, the ship can carry two remotely operated underwater vehicles capable of diving to a depth of 3,000 meters.

China is one of a small group of countries in the world that can design and make advanced diving support vessels, which are very useful for scientific exploration, resource survey and development, and maritime rescue and salvage, according to the statement.

A new and luxury ro-ro passenger vessel built by Guangzhou Shipyard International Company Ltd for Swedish company Rederi AB Gotland was named VISBORG in a naming ceremony in Guangdong provincial capital on Saturday.

"We Rederi AB Gotland are very proud of the 'VISBORG' which is among the most sophisticated RoPax with LNG ual-fuel propulsion in the world and which is a further confirmation of the high quality and innovation of Chinese shipbuilding," said Ann-Marie Ami Astrom, chairwoman of Gotland.

"We hope to be able to order many more ships at GSI and China State Shipbuilding Company," she said.

Chen Zhongqian, chairman of GSI, said the vessel is a landmark product for GSI's revitalization after the company moved to Longxue island, located at the mouth of the Pearl River, from the city's Liwan district in July last year.

Construction of the vessel has cost more than 1 billion yuan ($149 million), a record high in building a single ocean and engineering ship in GSI's history, Chen said.

"The successful construction of this vessel has laid a good foundation for GSI to proceed in the luxury Ropax market as our highly-quality development direction. And to date GSI has in hand the largest Ropax orders in China," Chen added.

The high standard and environment friendly Ropax vessel is driven by dual-fuel engines and its navigational speed can reach 28.5 knots to become one of the fastest ro-ro passenger vessels in the world.

At 200 meters long and 25.2 meters wide, the vessel is designed to have a capacity of 1,730 passengers.

The vessel will operate between Wisky island and Oskarshamn Port. It also comes with entertainment facilities.

UECC to Exceed IMO 2030 Climate Goal With LNG Hybrid Vessels

United European Car Carriers (UECC) has signed a contract to build two new hybrid-powered, LNG-fueled PCTCs with China Ship Building Trading and Jiangnan Shipyard. The new ships will be equipped with a battery hybrid LNG propulsion system which will place UECC beyond IMO’s target for a 40 percent reduction in carbon intensity by 2030. The contract has options for two additional vessels, and the first vessel is planned for delivery in 2021.

“This is a giant leap towards decarbonization, and unlike anything else that has been done previously in our industry, I believe, and something that we are extremely proud of,” said UECC’s CEO, Glenn Edvardsen.

The vessels will have a car-carrying capacity of 3,600 units on 10 cargo decks, of which two decks are movable. This will enable the vessels to accommodate high & heavy and break-bulk mafi cargoes - important business segments for UECC.

Thanks to their propulsion design, the vessels will also meet the Tier 3 IMO NOx emission limitations coming into force the Baltic and the North Sea in 2021.

“UECC's experience with LNG PCTCs has been very good and there was really no other alternative for us,” said UECC’s Head of Ship Management, Jan Thore Foss. “The LNG solution will reduce the CO2 emission by about 25 percent."

Looking to the future, UECC wants to use carbon neutral and synthetic fuels as they become available. "In our strategy we take a long-term view," said Edvardsen, “and that's why we go for a battery hybrid LNG fuel solution on our newbuildings."
