Wuhu Shipyard Craftsmanship

European quality high-end tanker

Ice strengthening

Reinforced 1A ice zone, single propeller-driven product oil and chemical tankers, serving unlimited navigation areas

Hybrid Power

Adopt LNG + duel fuel driven by electric

energy saving

It is not necessary to start the diesel generator during normal sailing. Only the main engine drives the shaft generator to ensure the continuous power supply of the navigation equipment to achieve the energy saving and environmental protection. The inner bottom of the engine room is equipped with a seawater central cooling system, using Rack cooler cooling, a variable frequency seawater pump, and an economical cooling mode for the central air conditioner, which is more energy efficient.

The 22,000DWT hybrid chemical tankers PROSPERO and PACIFICO are another representative ships after the company completed the special coating chemical tanker series and duplex stainless steel chemical tanker series and successfully entered the global high-end tanker market.
