Beihai Shipbuilding names five ammonia-ready vessels for CMB.TECH
In China, Dazhong Daily reports CSSC Qingdao Beihai Shipbuilding and China Shipbuilding Trading held a joint naming ceremony for five ammonia-ready vessels for Belgium’s CMB.TECH at a ceremony on May 7.
The Morini, a 319,000 deadweight ton very large crude carrier and the fourth in a series built for CMB.TECH, will be delivered 10 months ahead of schedule, with construction quality scores the yard says rank among the global shipbuilding elite.
Also named were four 210,000 deadweight ton bulk carriers: Mineral Latvija, Mineral Eesti, Mineral Magyar and Mineral Lietuva. Designed in-house by Beihai Shipbuilding, the vessels meet Tier III nitrogen oxide and Energy Efficiency Design Index Phase III standards.
Beihai Shipbuilding and CMB.TECH hold the top global position in ammonia-ready vessel deliveries and are advancing a first ammonia dual-fuel 210,000 deadweight ton bulk carrier, extending the partnership from ammonia-ready to full ammonia dual-fuel propulsion.
