On March 9, the world's largest delivered container ship, the 24,116 TEU ULCC "MSC TESSA" built by Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding and China Shipbuilding Trading for Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) was named and delivered.
 
With a total length of 399.99 meters, it is 60 meters longer than the world's largest aircraft carrier. The width is 61.5 meters, and the deck area is similar to 4 football fields. The depth is 33.2 meters, and the maximum stack of container layers can reach 25 floors, which can reach the height of a 22-story house. It is classified into DNV.

The bubble drag reduction system is adopted for the first time, which not only effectively reduces the total energy consumption of ships, but also reduces the corresponding total carbon emissions by 3%-4%, which can reduce more than 6000 tons in the whole year.
