China is set to carry its legacy in shipbuilding forth by delivering first liquefied natural gas (LNG) ship in the month of November, which is ine of the most advanced ships in the world. The technology to build such ocean liners is for now in the hands of China, Korea, and a few European nations.
LNG ships are also dubbed as “maritime super freezer” because natural gas can only be altered into the liquefied by reducing the temperature below minus 163-degrees Celsius. World’s third largest shipping group Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding is taking care of the construction of the very boat that offers a capacity of 47,200 cubic meters.
China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC) further said that four more LNG vessels would be rolled out by the end of this year while a LNG ship with a capacity of 200,000 cubic meters in the R&D phase.
CSSC is currently a parent company of 60 subsidiaries dedicated to ship building, ship repair, research and development and offshore engineering.
