High-tech liquefied gas shipbuilding
On the morning of September 26, Taizhou Wuzhou Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. successfully launched a liquefied gas carrier with a capacity of 3,200 cubic meters. This marks a significant milestone as it is the first such vessel built by a private Chinese company. The launch represents not only a technical achievement but also a step forward for China's private shipbuilding industry in entering high-value maritime markets.
Earlier, on February 7 of last year, "Wuzhou" signed a major agreement with Scogan Shipping Group, a renowned Norwegian shipbuilding company. The initial deal involved constructing two liquefied gas carriers worth $15 million, which later expanded into a large order for 15 ships valued at $500 million. This partnership highlights the growing international confidence in China's private shipbuilding capabilities.
Liquefied gas carriers are among the most complex vessels to build due to the stringent requirements for materials, equipment, and technology. These ships must operate under extreme conditions—low temperatures, high pressure, and handling flammable and corrosive gases. As a result, their construction demands advanced engineering and strict safety protocols, making them a key segment in the global shipping industry.
This successful launch demonstrates that Chinese private enterprises are now capable of meeting these high standards, opening new opportunities for future projects and international collaboration.
The system is designed with the best of the best and rigorously tested, thus guaranteeing a long service life and trouble-free operation, even in the most demanding operating environments.
