        近期，瑞士航运巨头地中海航运公司（MSC）从中国迎来了其第13艘液化天然气（LNG）双燃料集装箱船。

 

        中国船舶工业集团公司（CSSC）表示，这艘由子公司大连船舶重工（DSIC）建造的16000TEU集装箱船——“MSC Josefina ”号，已“提前 ”完成命名仪式和交付环节。

 

        这艘新造船舶悬挂利比里亚国旗，可装载约16196个标准集装箱，其中1800个是冷藏集装箱。船舶全长366米，宽51米，载重量为16.8万吨。

 

        据悉，“MSC Josefina ”号的设计从“安全、经济和环保 ”的理念出发，以船舶能效为实践导向，使船东在管理船舶时能够在保障船舶运营性能的同时达到“最佳”节能效果。

 

        在这艘苏伊士型船舶正式交接前，地中海航运公司在过去几个月就已经完成了一系列类似的船舶交接工作。

 

        例如，今年四月末，地中海航运公司新添了3艘由中国新时代造船（NTS）建造的液化天然气双燃料集装箱船：全长260米的MSC Namibia和Cameroon号以及全长335米的MSC Flora号。

 

        去年10月，由大连船舶重工建造的“Maria Cristina ”号完成交付，标志着地中海航运公司打造环保型船队的又一里程碑。“Maria Cristina ”号配备了13,000立方米B型LNG燃料舱，被称为“史上最大同类型燃料舱”。

 

        尽管中美关系仍需调和，美国也表示会向停靠在美国港口的中国建造（持有）的船舶征收关税，但目前中国的造船业依旧占据优势。

 

        现存的这种不确定性并未影响地中海航运公司继续委托中国船厂建造船舶的决定。例如，今年2月下旬，地中海航运公司在中国舟山长宏国际预订了一批4+2+2环保型液化天然气双燃料船舶。

Another LNG dual-fuel unit joins the ranks as MSC’s green fleet grows

 

Switzerland-based shipping colossal Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) recently welcomed its thirteenth liquefied natural gas (LNG)-powered dual-fuel container vessel from China.

 

According to the China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC), the 16,000 TEU containership MSC Josefina, constructed by CSSC’s subsidiary Dalian Shipbuilding Industry (DSIC), was christened and delivered “ahead of schedule.”

 

The Liberia-flagged newbuilding can carry around 16,196 standard containers, including 1,800 refrigerated containers. It has an overall length of 366 meters and a beam of 51 meters, with a deadweight capacity of 168,000 tonnes.

 

As informed, MSC Josefina was designed based on a “safety, economy and environmental protection” concept, having been outfitted with energy efficiency-oriented solutions that would enable the newbuild’s owner to achieve ‘optimal’ energy saving levels as well as operational performance during vessel management.

 

The Suezmax newbuilding’s delivery comes on the heels of a string of vessel handovers that Mediterranean Shipping Company marked in the past couple of months.

 

In the last stretch of April this year, for instance, MSC added three more dual-fuel container vessels that run on liquefied natural gas to its roster: the 260-meter-long MSC Namibia and Cameroon and the 335-meter-long MSC Flora. The trio was constructed by Chinese shipbuilder New Times Shipbuilding (NTS).

 

In October 2024, the company passed another milestone on its agenda to build an eco-friendly fleet when it took delivery of the DSIC-built Maria Cristina, which was equipped with a 13,000 cbm type B LNG fuel tank, described as the ‘largest of its type’ in the world.

 

Despite an ongoing tug-of-war between the United States and China, with tariffs envisioned to be charged for each Chinese-built (or -owned) vessel calling at American ports, the East Asian nation’s shipbuilding industry has held onto its dominant position.

 

Despite the uncertainty, the Swiss maritime transportation major has not been deterred from commissioning Chinese yards for the construction of its units. In late February this year, for example, MSC booked 4+2+2 eco-friendly LNG dual-fuel units at Zhoushan Changhong International Shipbuilding.
