        世界最大浅吃水液化天然气（LNG）运输船“Dapeng Princess”号已经完成试航和气体试验。

        据悉，该船试航已于2022年12月28日完成。“Dapeng Princess ”号（前船体建于1837年）由中国沪东中华造船厂为深圳燃气集团有限公司（Shenzhen Gas）建造。这艘船归属于中国船级社（CCS）。

        这艘液化天然气运输船总长239.4米，模压宽度为36.6米，模压深度为21米，设计吃水为8.5米。

        法国液化天然气货舱建造行家GTT公司签约，为这艘中国中型液化天然气船进行储罐设计工作。

        据该公司称，这艘船配备了高效的“LNG+MGO”双燃料发动机，符合国际海事组织（IMO）在气体模式运行下的“Tier III”排放标准，并且具有良好的环保性能。该船的液化天然气货运容量将达79,960立方米。

        受到新冠疫情（COVID19）大流行的影响，该船的建造工作于上半年暂停动工。

        随着作业与生产的恢复，中国船级社上海分社与船厂积极合作，确保所有的检查都能按高标准高效完成。

        中国船级社验船师为船东和船厂提供帮助，以识别并解决船舶试航期间出现的问题。 

        在气体试验过程中，验船师详细检查了该船的综合自动化系统（IAS），并与船东和船厂一起优化其逻辑操作，从而确保这艘液化天然气船能够以高稳定性和可靠性的水平航行。这艘船计划交付时间为2023年1月。

World’s largest shallow draft LNG carrier wraps up sea trials

Dapeng Princess, the world’s largest shallow draft liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier, has completed its sea trial and gas trial.

As informed, the trials were completed on 28 December 2022. The vessel Dapeng Princess (ex hull 1837) was built by Chinese shipbuilder Hudong Zhonghua Shipbuilding for Shenzhen Gas Group Co., Ltd. (Shenzhen Gas). It is classed by China Classification Society (CCS).

This LNG carrier has an overall length of 239.4 metres, a moulded width of 36.6 metres, a moulded depth of 21 metres and designed draft of 8.5 metres.

French liquefied natural gas containment specialist GTT has been contracted to design the tank for the Chinese mid-scale LNG carrier.

According to the company, the ship is equipped with a high-efficient LNG+MGO dual-fuel engine which meets the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) Tier III emission requirements under gas mode operation and shows a positive environmental performance. The vessel will have a cargo capacity of 79,960 cubic meters of LNG.

The construction of the ship was on hold for the first half of the year under the impact of the pandemic. of COVID 19.

As the work and production resumed, CCS Shanghai branch actively cooperated with the shipyard to ensure all inspections could be efficiently completed with high standards.

During the sea trial, CCS surveyors supported the shipowner and shipyard to identify and resolve issues arisen. 

In the process of the gas trial, surveyors conducted a detailed inspection of the Integrated Automation System (IAS) for the ship and optimized its logical operation together with the shipowner and shipyard to ensure this LNG carrier runs at a high stable and reliable level. Delivery of the ship is scheduled for January 2023.
