COSCO Shipping Unveils World’s Largest Electric Containerships In China
COSCO Shipping Development acquired the 700TEU electric container ships N997 and N998, which were launched on December 28 by COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. For River-Sea Direct Service, “Zhongyuan Haiyun Lvshui 01” and “Zhongyuan Haiyun Lvshui 02” are the first electric container vessels in the world.
Per reports, COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry independently researched, designed, and manufactured this kind of ship, maintaining its own intellectual property rights. In addition, it’s the initial batch of green, zero-carbon pilot ships and the largest electric ship project now under development in China.
The vessel, measuring 119.8 meters in length and 23.6 meters in beam, is powered by 36 interchangeable marine containerized batteries, which can hold over 800 new energy vehicles. The ship has the greatest battery capacity in the entire world, which is refilled via a movable power exchange system that resembles a box.
In terms of the number of loaded boxes, deadweight tonnage, and battery capacity of 100% electric container vessels, this ship leads the globe. Its preset battery capacity is significantly higher than that of the current international and domestic ship types.
It is anticipated that “Zhongyuan Haiyun Lvshui01” will sail on the “Nanjing-Yangshan” route during its inaugural voyage, which is scheduled to begin in mid-to late-January 2024.
