On March 16, the 80-meter LNG refueling and bunkering barge built by Shan Dong New Energy Shipbuilding, a joint venture of Jining Energy Port and Maritime Development Group Co., Ltd, Shandong Energy Group Co., Ltd and Shandong Zhengfang Holding Group Co., Ltd., was successfully launched.
It is the first refueling barge built by Shan Dong New Energy Shipbuilding. With an overall length of 80 meters, a beam of 16 meters, a depth of 2.5 meters, and a structural draft of 1.5 meters, the barge can provide 200 m3 of natural gas (LNG) refueling storage capacity and nearly 500 tons of fuel oil refueling storage capacity under full load.
Classified by China Classification Society (CCS), it is a new generation refueling barge that meets the green standardization requirements for inland waterways.
After delivery, it will be positioned along the waterways of Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, providing LNG fuel and diesel fueling services, as well as life supporting services, which will become an important “water service area” on the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal.
The first 80-meter oil and gas refueling barge undertakes the important mission of providing oil and gas refueling service for the new energy shipbuilding base and the Baima River waterway. It means that the Jining new energy shipbuilding base project has been formally completed and put into operation, injecting a brand-new impetus into the development of Jining’s energy, harbor and navigation logistics and high-end manufacturing industries, which is of great significance to the greening of Jining’s inland waterway transportation.
Jining New Energy Shipbuilding Base plans 1125 acres of land in Taiping Town, Zoucheng City, and invests 2.963 billion yuan to build a new energy shipbuilding demonstration base. The project adheres to the development concept of “green and intelligent shipbuilding, building green and intelligent ships”, benchmarks the production process of sea vessels, adopts the production process widely used by shipbuilders at home and abroad, and uses technically mature equipment. After production, the project will play a leading and demonstration role in the region’s inland shipbuilding industry, help promote the standardization of ship types, promote the unification of standards for transport vessels in water systems or regions, guide existing non-standard vessels of various types to gradually withdraw from the shipping market, and help promote green, efficient and high-quality development of inland shipbuilding and the shipping industry.
