On November 23, 2023, the 1550 cubic meters LNG fuel tank built by Nantong CIMC Sinopacific Offshore & Engineering Co.,LTD (hereinafter referred to as “CIMC SOE”) was successfully loaded on the ship at CIMC SOE eastern terminal and shipped and delivered on the same day.

The liquid tank was constructed by CIMC SOE, adopts independent C-type binaural tank with a closed stainless steel cabin installed on the top and is classified as CCS. It will be attached to the 15000 cubic meters LNG clean energy power rake suction dredger built by Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industry Qidong Offshore & Engineering Co.,LTD for CCCC Shanghai Waterway Bureau for port channel dredging engineering. It is reported that the ship will become the first domestic and the world’s largest large-scale rake suction dredger using LNG clean energy power system.

The interior design of the project is tight, the fuel handling system is highly integrated, the installation space is small ,and the difficulty is large. The project team planned in advance and formulated a rush plan for the actual production problems.
