It is equipped with intelligent cruise mode of one click selection of low-speed economic speed, medium speed economic speed and high-speed economic speed. With obvious advantages in ship reliability and ship energy saving, it realizes low-carbon navigation.


Second, it is the first in the world to greatly develop intelligent elements for the vessel type. The vessel is equipped with intelligent engine room, intelligent energy efficiency, intelligent navigation, intelligent cargo and intelligent information integration platform. Combined with shore based technical support, it can greatly reduce the crew allocation and fully implement the forward-looking development of intelligent crew reduction.


It is worth mentioning that 99% of the high-end performance equipment of the vessel are domestic products. This is a strong breakthrough in the "domestication of products" with both sides adhering to the domestic cycle as the main body. Explain to the world the products made in China with excellent and perfect technical level.
