The “Yuan” Container Ship and the Intelligent “Sea Wisdom” Cargo Ship are set to revolutionize electric vehicle transportation with the launch of the “Yuan Port” on May 15, 2025. This new vessel is part of China’s ambition to develop a significant energy resource that utilizes both hydrogen and LNG for efficient transportation.
The “Yuan Port” ship, measuring 199.9 meters in length, is designed primarily to transport electric vehicles. It is built by China’s Jiangnan Shipyard and includes advanced technology for sustainable energy. The vessel will carry vehicles destined for various countries along the coastal routes.
This ship features a total installed power capacity of 41 megawatts and is equipped with a solar energy system comprising 512 square meters of solar panels. This setup can provide sufficient energy for the ship’s operations, significantly reducing reliance on traditional fuel sources.
The “Yuan Port” operates using a combination of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and renewable energy, which allows it to save up to 20% in energy consumption compared to conventional fuel ships. This green energy initiative is a step towards reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable practices in maritime transportation.
Commencing operations on May 15, the vessel will travel routes between China, Southeast Asia, and Europe, showcasing its efficiency and advanced capabilities. It is designed to carry a variety of cargo, including smaller vehicles, industrial machinery, and various products, making it a versatile player in the shipping industry.
With a focus on innovation, the “Yuan Port” also incorporates smart technology that allows for real-time monitoring of its operations. This includes systems for tracking cargo and optimizing routes for maximum efficiency, ensuring timely deliveries.
Overall, the launch of the “Yuan Port” is a significant milestone in China’s efforts to enhance its shipping capabilities while adhering to environmental standards. The initiative not only aims to improve transportation efficiency but also sets a precedent for future developments in sustainable maritime technologies.
