        日本造船商常石造船已交付其第一艘液化石油气 (LPG) 运输船。

        这艘新造船于 2024 年 1 月 31 日交付给一位未透露姓名的船东。

        液化石油气罐完全由公司内部制造，将罐头与压力罐边缘成型是一项重大挑战。不过，常石表示，这项任务已利用现有设备成功完成。

        安装了这些罐体的液化石油气运输船将保留标准 5000 立方米级液化石油气运输船的主要尺寸。该船的货舱容量为 5000 立方米，长 99 米，宽 17.6 米，深 8 米。

        常石集团的三井 E&S 造船公司提供了储气罐制造和气体舾装的专业技术，如基本设计、储气罐和气体系统的详细设计、组装程序和精密管理方法。

        据介绍，这艘液化石油气运输船采用了减少推进阻力的船体形式和最新的主机技术，以符合 EEDI 第 3 阶段的二氧化碳排放规定。这艘液化石油气运输船配备了选择性催化还原装置（SCR），具有先进的推进和环保性能，符合氮氧化物 Tier III 法规的要求。

Tsuneishi Shipbuilding hands over its first LPG carrier

Japanese shipbuilder Tsuneishi Shipbuilding has completed the delivery of its first liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) carrier.

The newbuilding was delivered to an undisclosed owner on January 31, 2024.

The LPG tanks were entirely manufactured in-house, and molding the tank head to the edge of the pressure tank was a significant challenge. Nevertheless, this task was successfully carried out using existing equipment, according to Tsuneishi.

The LPG carrier installed with these tanks will retain the main dimensions of the standard 5,000 cbm LPG carrier class. The vessel has a cargo tank capacity of 5,000 cbm, a length of 99 meters, a breadth of 17.6 meters, and a depth of 8 meters.

Mitsui E&S Shipbuilding of the Tsuneishi Group provided the expertise of tank manufacturing and gas outfitting, such as the basic design, the detailed design for the gas tank and gas system, the assembly procedure, and the precision management method.

As explained, the LPG carrier features a hull form that reduces propulsion resistance and the newest main engine technology to comply with the CO2 emission regulations of EEDI Phase 3. Equipped with selective catalytic reduction (SCR), this LPG carrier qualifies as an eco-ship with advanced propulsion and environmental performance that satisfies the requirements of the NOx Tier III regulations.
