On October 30, at the 16th International Shipbuilding, Marine Equipment, and Offshore Engineering Exhibition, Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Corporation(DSIC), a subsidiary of China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC) released two new products: an innovative rigid wing sail and an LNG carrier installation platform.
The innovative hard wing sail adopts a unique hard wing structure, which is made of high-strength and lightweight new composite materials, with excellent rigidity and durability. The wing shape of the sail has been carefully optimized to efficiently capture wind energy and convert it into propulsion for the ship under different wind speed and direction conditions.
Compared with traditional sails, it can provide ships with more powerful and stable power. Under suitable wind conditions, it can effectively increase the ship’s sailing speed, reduce fuel consumption, and bring significant economic benefits to ship operations.
Equipped with an advanced intelligent control system, the crew can accurately adjust the angle and posture of the hard-wing sail according to real-time sea conditions and navigation needs. After rigorous testing and verification, the innovative hard-wing sail has extremely high reliability and durability. Its structural design can withstand the challenges of harsh sea conditions, reduce maintenance costs and downtime, and provide solid protection for the long-term stable operation of the ship. In addition, it is equipped with an advanced intelligent control system, which allows the crew to accurately adjust the angle and posture of the hard-wing sail according to the real-time sea conditions and navigation requirements.
Through rigorous testing and verification, this innovative rigid wing sail has extremely high reliability and durability. Its structural design can withstand the challenges of severe sea conditions, reduce maintenance costs and downtime, and provide solid protection for the long-term stable operation of the ship.
The LNG carrier installation platform was specially developed by Dalian Shipbuilding for the installation of cargo containment systems on LNG carriers.
The platform adopts a modular design and features high-precision construction and intelligent management, which can greatly improve the installation efficiency and construction quality of LNG carriers. In addition, the platform also introduced a digital twin management system to achieve rapid identification and accurate installation of component information, further improving construction efficiency. This platform has been successfully used in the construction of LNG carriers in many domestic shipyards, and has achieved remarkable results.
