On June 29, the 15000TEU methanol dual-fuel container ship C16K-19, built by CSSC Dalian Shipbuilding’s Tianjin base for the French CMA CGM Group, successfully completed an eight-day sea trial and returned to dock.
This sea trial was the second “two-in-one” trial for this series of ships, covering a wide range of subjects with stringent test standards. Facing the impact of complex sea conditions, the personnel of Dalian Shipbuilding Tianjin, the shipowner, and the classification society worked collaboratively to efficiently carry out cross-testing, successively completing the continuous operation acceptance of the main engine in methanol mode under different loads, fully verifying the smoothness of switching between the two fuel modes.
This sea trial comprehensively verified the shipbuilding quality and the stability of the clean energy power system, marking that Dalian Shipbuilding Tianjin has accumulated mature experience in “two-in-one” sea trials for methanol dual-fuel container ships. After the ship docked, Dalian Shipbuilding Tianjin will focus on the core goal of timely delivery, coordinate the closure of remaining items before delivery, and celebrate the 105th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China with the successful delivery of a high-quality green ship.
