CIMC Group Highlights That The New Fleet Of Container Ships Will Feature Cutting-Edge Technology To Enhance Natural Gas Operations

According to information from MSC’s project, the new ships will have an Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) 40% lower than the baseline for emissions set by the IMO.

As a result, they will operate within a healthy carbon emission range by 2040, ahead of current vessels in the market.

Yin Xunbin, general manager of CIMC ORIC, further emphasized that the container ship design will include cutting-edge technologies to enhance operations.

The main feature of the ships is dual-fuel propulsion, which allows them to operate with both LNG and conventional fuel.

According to the executive, MSC insisted on faster speeds and lower fuel consumption in the operational transport of natural gas.

Thus, it was necessary to develop an even more modern design while remaining committed to reducing pollutant emissions.

They have also been equipped with a range of energy-saving and safety features.

Now, MSC will continue working with CIMC Group on developing its new natural gas container ships.
