Hudong-Zhonghua realized the world's first ＂two-in-one＂ sea trial

The 23000TEU dual-fuel powered ship is the world's first ultra-large container ship with membrane fuel tanks and dual fuel propulsion. It uses LNG as the main fuel, uses WinGD dual fuel main engine, and is equipped with the world's first GTT MARKⅢ membrane fuel tank.
 
Based on the dual-fuel power characteristics of this type of ship, it used to have to go through two trials of conventional sea trials and gas sea trials. This "two-in-one" sea trial has greatly shortened the cycle and improved production efficiency.

With the joint efforts of the sea trial team, Hudong Zhonghua created an engineering miracle, and the world's first "two-in-one" sea trial was a complete success.
 
Compared with the previous two trials, the trial period has been shortened by 142 hours, saving 400 tons of diesel and 220 tons of fuel, and saving a lot of tugboat pilotage and trial costs, which has truly improved quality and efficiency.
