FT.com: How China Rules The Waves (Shipbuilding Tech, Port Tech, Shipping & Maritime Network)

As far as making stuff goes....do soldiers make or even purchase the stuff they use? NOPE. They are given money (= goods and wealth) to USE the stuff others make. Soldiers, as part of gov't, do not care about creation. That is a good part of why Rome and Sparta fell. Land controlled by takers and users.

“If that was to happen again,” says a Chinese official who declines to be identified. “We would be much better prepared. We could use the Chinese navy and take the evacuees to our own port at Piraeus.”

Can you own something that was purchased with the wealth of another? Chinese and everyone else is going to wake up to suddenly discover that EVERYTHING IS legally owned by somebody else.

Design sketches of the world's largest container ship. PROVIDED TO CHINA DAILY
Massive vessels, the biggest in world, will be able to carry 23,000 containers

China is building the world's largest container ships, each of which will be able to carry more than 23,000 standard containers, which together can hold, for example, more than 1 billion units of the Apple iPhone X.

The construction of the first two megaships started in late July. They're being built by Jiangnan Shipyard Group and Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding Group, both of Shanghai, according to China State Shipbuilding Corp, a State-owned giant that owns the two companies.

The ships are expected to be delivered to the customer, CMA CGM, a French container transportation and shipping company, in 2020.

The Marine Design and Research Institute of China, a CSSC research arm that designed the ships, said they will be the latest and biggest in its Heracles class-named after the hero of Greek mythology.

Each of the vessels will be 400 meters long and 61.3 m wide, and will be capable of moving 220,000 metric tons of cargo.

They will be propelled by liquefied natural gas, making these the first large container ships to be driven by the eco-friendly fuel, as opposed to diesel, the traditional propellant for large vessels, the institute said. Polluting emissions will be exponentially reduced, it added.

CSSC beat five world-class competitors-including Japan's Imabari Shipbuilding Co and South Korea's Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering Co and Hyundai Heavy Industries-before signing a contract for nine 23,000 container-capable vessels with the French carrier.

Yu Lai, chief designer of the new ships at the Shanghai institute, said on Thursday that the design and construction of the gigantic vessels makes China a leader in the field of container shipping.

"In the past, we followed others; now we are running ahead of them," he said. "Compared with its predecessors, this new class of container ship is larger, has a high level of automation and features better safety and environmental performance. Its construction requires state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques."

Yu said the ships will require only about 30 crew members to operate. The maximum design speed will be 22 knots, or about 41 kilometers per hour.

Currently, the largest container ships are the six vessels built by South Korea's Samsung Heavy Industries for the Hong Kong-based container shipping and logistics service company Orient Overseas Container Line. They can hold 21,413 containers.

The second-largest is the COSCO Shipping Universe, which was designed and built by China State Shipbuilding Corp and which can hold 21,237 containers.

[The world's first, largest and most advanced dual-fuel-powered 23000TEU container ship construction project ended perfectly]

On June 29, the world’s first largest and most advanced 23000TEU dual-fuel-powered container ship "CMA CGM Sorbonne" built by Hudong Zhonghua, a subsidiary of China State Shipbuilding Corporation, was named. All 9 ships of the project have now been completed and delivered on time.

The ship has a total length of 399.9 meters, a width of 61.3 meters, a cargo depth of 33.5 meters, and a deck area of 23,978 square meters, equivalent to 3.5 standard football fields, which is more than 60 meters longer than the world's largest aircraft carrier. This type of ship can carry 220,000 tons of cargo, can load 23112 TEU containers at one time, and can carry 2,200 40-foot refrigerated containers. The maximum stacking layer is 24, which is equivalent to the height of 22 floors building.

China’s first 15,000 DWT shuttle oil tanker delivered to CNOOC

First domestic made 15,000-ton shuttle oil tanker was delivered to China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) in Nantong, east China's Jiangsu Province, CNOOC announced on Wednesday.

The tanker will be used for the condensate transportation of the Shenhai Yihao (DeepSea No. 1) gas field as early as August.

Dynamic positioning shuttle tanker is designed for use in the transportation of crude oil from offshore production platforms to the land, known as "floating tubing".

The tanker marks the first dynamic positioning shuttle tanker independently built by China with a tonnage of 15,000-ton.

Compared with standard tonnage tankers of 100,000 tons it is smaller just like "integrating the functions of an aircraft carrier into a submarine", according to CNOOC.

The tanker will not only fulfill the demand for transportation of crude oil but also quickly respond to the scheduling arrangement of production operations in the complex sea conditions and weather environment, said Li Jun, manager of the project.

After entering into a construction contract in November 2019, it only took 11 month to complete the construction of the ship despite the COVID-19, using only half the time compared with the same type of ship in the world.

The delivery of the tanker is expected to provide valuable experience and reference for the construction of domestic dynamic positioning tankers and the development and utilization of deep-water oil and gas projects in the future, according to CNOOC.
