On December 30, it was announced by the Three Gorges Group that the world’s largest 10,000 DWT pure electric transport ship had officially entered the construction stage in Yichang, Hubei Province.
This 10,000-ton pure electric transport ship has an overall length of 129.9 meters, a width of 22 meters, a depth of 7.7 meters, a design draft of 6.5 meters, and a maximum deadweight of 13,740 tons.
It is equipped with 12 lithium battery box power supplies with a total power supply of 24,000 kWh. Each power supply looks like a container, which not only provides power for the ship, but also meets the daily power needs on board. The box power supply can be quickly replaced, greatly shortening the charging time, and the cruising range can reach 500 kilometers, providing stable and reliable guarantee for long-distance cargo transportation.
The ship is equipped with intelligent driving control system for the first time among large ships in inland waterway transportation, which greatly improves the safety and efficiency of navigation. After completed, the ship can replace about 617.5 tons of fuel oil and reduce about 2,052 tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually.
