China’s first low-noise, eco-friendly product tanker, "Special No.," was officially delivered in Shanghai on the 8th. Built by Qingshan Shipyard, part of China Changhang Group, this vessel was constructed for the British shipping company Evrad. As the first high-tech special transport ship from Asia to Europe, it marks a significant milestone in Chinese shipbuilding.
The successful delivery of "Special No." reflects growing international recognition of China's capabilities in building advanced and environmentally responsible ships. This 3,750-ton product tanker is equipped with the world’s most advanced variable-frequency electric propulsion system. It features two independent engine compartments, each with a backup power system, ensuring high reliability. The ship’s generator automatically adjusts power output based on load and operational conditions, enhancing efficiency and reducing fuel consumption.
The automation level of its navigation, communication, cabin monitoring, and cargo control systems is among the best in the industry. According to Liu Xihan, general manager of China Yangtze River Shipping Group, this vessel represents a major step forward in innovation and technological development for Qingshan Shipyard. It combines environmental protection, energy efficiency, and cutting-edge design, making it highly relevant in today’s global shipping market.
The "Special" tanker has passed inspection by Lloyd’s Register and is set to begin oil transportation in the North Sea soon. Its delivery fulfills the shipowner’s vision for modern, sustainable shipbuilding. The British owners expressed strong satisfaction with the project, praising the technical expertise and smooth execution throughout the construction process.
Ein Lyon, President of Technology at Evrad, said: “Qingshan Shipyard successfully translated our design concepts into reality. Their technical strength is impressive, and the support during the entire construction process was excellent. We are very pleased with the final result.†This achievement not only highlights China’s growing influence in the global maritime industry but also sets a new standard for future shipbuilding projects.
