Recently, two new vessels designed by Hangzhou Modern Ship Design and Research Institute, “Yaoguang 1” and “Boda 85”, have completed their sea trials.
“Yaoguang 1” has an overall length of 32.60 meters, a molded breadth of 5.50 meters, and a molded depth of 2.30 meters. It is an all-aluminum alloy displacement monohull high-speed cargo vessel, capable of being upgraded for autonomous unmanned navigation. It features a single deck with single side shell, a raked stem with spray rails, and a transom stern with an A-frame and trim flap. The area aft of the main deck is the container loading zone, while the forward part is equipped with a wheelhouse and simple living facilities. Designed for coastal navigation with a endurance not exceeding 8 hours, it is powered by twin diesel engines driving twin straight-wing paddle rudder propellers, offering high speed and flexible maneuverability.
“Boda 85” has an overall length of 129.90 meters, a molded breadth of 22.80 meters, and a molded depth of 8.30 meters. This vessel is a container carrier primarily operating between coastal ports south of the Pearl River Estuary in China. It is equipped with 4 cargo holds, capable of loading 20-foot and 40-foot ISO standard containers (including high-cube containers) in the holds, on hatch covers, and on the engine room deck. The vessel is designed in accordance with the Maritime Safety Administration of the People’s Republic of China’s “Statutory Technical Rules for Domestic Sailing Sea-going Ships” and the China Classification Society’s “Rules for the Construction of Domestic Sailing Sea-going Ships” for Class I navigation areas, with the hull structure not reinforced for ice navigation.
