May 12, Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding (SWS) successfully completed the sea trial of the first 7,000 TEU container ship (Hull No.H1534) built off-site.
During the one-week sea trial voyage, with the participation of shipowner and ship inspectors, the trial team carried out various test contents one by one in accordance with the requirements of the navigation test outline.
Finally, the test results met the expectation, and created the record of the shortest cycle in the construction history of SWS’s Branch, which laid a good foundation for the subsequent delivery of the container ship.
