On December 23rd, China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC) Beihai Shipbuilding held the steel cutting ceremony for Belgian CMB’s two 210,000 DWT bulk carriers.
It is understood that the two bulk carriers have a total design length of 300 meters, a depth of 25.2 meters, a structural draft of 18.4 meters with a service speed of 14.5 knots and a deadweight of 209,800 tons. They are the continued ships in the CMB “Ammonia Fuel” series.
Based on the BC210K-47 series ammonia reserved bulk carrier, this vessel is adjusted and optimized in terms of structure, system and equipment, etc.
The design intends to adopt the Win GD 6X72DF-A-1.0 dual-fuel model, which highlights the Beihai Shipbuilding’s environmental protection concept of green shipbuilding, broadens the development space for “zero-carbon” operation of vessels, and demonstrates the company’s foresight and creativity in promoting the green development of the shipping industry.
