In order to further enhance the transportation capacity of new energy vehicles in the Qiongzhou Strait, “Lvyuan Yihao”, the first new energy vehicle transportation special ship of Hainan Strait Shipping, successfully made its maiden voyage in Xiuying Port of Haikou on December 29th.
“Lvyuan Yihao” has passed the safety inspection by Haikou Maritime Safety Bureau on December 28th, and was authorized to put into operation. With gross tonnage of 6,731, net tonnage of 3,769, the ship has a length of 125.8 meters, a breadth of 28 meters, and adopts a single-deck design.
As a special ship for transporting new energy vehicles, the ship has the spatial structure advantage of an open deck and can transport about 160 new energy vehicles in a single voyage. However, due to the structural characteristics of the ship type, its speed is slightly slower than that of existing passenger and vehicle ships, and it is only used to transport vehicles and does not have the function of carrying passengers.
In addition, “Lvyuan Erhao”, the sister ship of “Lvyuan Yihao”, will also be completed reconstruction and put into operation in the near future. The commissioning of the two special flatbed transportation ships will effectively provide positive guarantee for the spring transportation work in the Qiongzhou Strait in 2025.
