Delivered! Another 18,500 DWT Chemical Tanker Joins the Fleet

The company recently held the formal signing and delivery ceremony for the second 18,500 DWT chemical tanker in the series, built for Donghai Anhe Bulk Shipping Co., Ltd.

As the second vessel of this series, the ship is positioned as green and intelligent, featuring a methanol-ready design. Its main engine can be retrofitted at any time to a methanol dual-fuel type, and both the main and auxiliary engines are equipped with SCR systems to meet Tier III emission standards, providing sufficient leeway for the shipowner to lock in a low-carbon pathway. Addressing the core pain point of multi-cargo transportation, the vessel is equipped with 14 independent submerged cargo oil pumps and 6 independent piping systems, enabling the simultaneous loading and unloading of up to six different grades of cargo, with flexible adaptability to a variety of products such as crude oil, chemicals, and vegetable oils. The engine room meets the AUT-UMS (unattended machinery space) class notation, and a safety shelter compliant with ISPS regulations has been installed, upholding a "people-oriented" philosophy to strengthen safety standards. This range of environmentally friendly designs closely aligns with the green transformation trend of the global shipping industry, injecting new momentum into future maritime transport.

After the successful completion of sea trials, the Wuhu Shipyard project team entered the final delivery sprint with sustained high efficiency. Workshop managers, construction engineers, and vessel-based operations staff worked in close coordination, quickly addressing optimization feedback from the trials, and scientifically managing materials, technical support, and labor to ensure the ship was delivered at its best. The entire Wuhu team carried forward their proven spirit of "daring, able, and skilled in tough battles," applying the five-day saving from the sea trial phase to the entire delivery process, culminating in a high-quality handover.

Following the successful delivery of the first vessel in this series, the smooth handover of the second vessel once again proves Wuhu Shipyard's operating principle of "fast delivery, robust systems, and emphasized coordination." The seamless interfacing of processes, strict quality and schedule control via a proven technical system, and collaborative efforts across the entire industry chain to meet delivery goals all reflect the yard's solid expertise and powerful unity.
