On March 28th, Wuchang Shipbuilding Industry Group Co., Ltd (“WS”) successfully delivered the second 9,200 DWT stainless steel chemical tanker named “Shui Rong” that it had built for Shanghai SC-Stolt Shipping, marking the successful closing of the 9,200 DWT stainless steel chemical tanker project.
During the construction of the 9200DWT stainless steel chemical tanker series, Wuchang Shipyard deeply integrated production and construction from the design end, continuously promoted lean management, optimized construction methods and production processes, actively carried out process forwarding and process innovation, and strictly controlled the product quality and construction progress throughout the entire process.
The vessel has an overall length of 118 meters, a beam of 19.5 meters, a speed of 13 knots and meets Tier III emission requirements. Its performance parameters are lower fuel consumption, higher loading capacity and larger cabin capacity compared with the same type of vessel. “Shui Rong” meets the requirements of intelligent vessel, and can realize all-round monitoring of the vessel from shore base, which is a new generation of stainless steel chemical vessel with high efficiency, economy and green environment protection.
The 9200DWT stainless steel chemical tanker series is another deep cooperation between WS and Shanghai SC-Stolt Shipping on chemical tanker orders after four 7200DWT stainless steel chemical tankers.
After the full delivery of the 9200DWT stainless steel chemical tanker series, WS and Shanghai SC-Stolt Shipping continue to work closely together and are pushing forward the construction of the 25900DWT stainless steel chemical tanker series to ensure that the series will be delivered as scheduled.
