On September 19, 2024, Fujian Shipping Group successfully signed a contract with Jiangsu Haitong Offshore Engineering Equipment Co., Ltd. for the construction of "2+2" 82,000-ton dual-fuel bulk carriers.
Mr. Wu Liangqi, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Fujian Shipping Group, emphasized the significance of this contract, which signals a new chapter in the company’s fleet development. These vessels, equipped with advanced methanol dual-fuel technology, optimized hull design, and upgraded main engines, offer superior cargo capacity, enhanced transport efficiency, and versatility, all while contributing to energy savings and emissions reduction, aligning with the "dual-carbon" goals.
As Fujian Shipping Group continues to phase out aging tonnage and expand its fleet with larger, smarter, and greener vessels, this new project demonstrates the company’s determination to pursue fleet modernization and sustainable growth. The contract for the "2+2" bulk carriers comes after Fujian Shipping Group’s recent investment in two 64,000-ton vessels, further cementing its leadership in driving fleet transformation.
Under the strategic framework of Fujian's port-shipping integration, Fujian Shipping Group will continue to innovate and take the lead as a provincial state-owned shipping enterprise, contributing to the development of the maritime sector and the broader social and economic growth of Fujian Province.
