On the eve of National Day, the H1909A ship, built by Hudong-Zhonghua for the third phase of the CNPC State Affairs LNG Project, successfully completed its “two-in-one” sea trial mission and returned smoothly after only 6 days. The cadres and employees dedicated their hard work as a gift for the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival.
During the wharf construction phase of this vessel, the team faced continuous high-temperature challenges. Guided by lean management principles and through meticulous planning and rational allocation of production resources, the construction team completed the insulation system finishing work 7 days ahead of the original schedule. The low-temperature system was completed on time, successfully achieving the liquid nitrogen test milestone on September 14th. During the liquid nitrogen test, the team leveraged the role of the Party Member Shock Team, adopting a method of consecutive operations for the liquid nitrogen test and wharf natural gas bunkering. This reduced the liquid nitrogen usage to 260 tons, and they overcame the impact of severe convective weather, efficiently completing all wharf natural gas trials while reducing costs.
During the sea trials, the leadership team actively utilized the temporary Party branch as a fighting fortress, ensuring key test positions were led by Party members. With the strong support and close cooperation of the shipowner and classification society, all gas trial items, including bunkering within the gas station, pump activation, transfer, and liquid return, were successfully completed. The cargo tank heating began on the very night of leaving the gas station, and important projects such as the endurance test and speed measurement were all completed successfully on the first attempt.
Currently, the No. 2 Assembly Department is intensively carrying out work related to cargo tank opening inspections, striving to promptly address the sea trial comments and achieve the delivery state.
