A World First! Our Company Supports the Successful Delivery of the World’s First Methanol Dual-Fuel Powered Intelligent VLCC!

2026-01-21

Recently, the world’s first methanol dual-fuel powered intelligent VLCC (Very Large Crude Carrier) Kaituo, built by Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Co., Ltd. in conjunction with China Shipbuilding Trading Co., Ltd. for China Merchants Energy Shipping Co., Ltd., was officially delivered and put into operation. In this landmark construction project, our company undertook the electrical installation work for the ship’s accommodation area. With our professional technical strength and efficient team collaboration, we made a pivotal contribution to the smooth maiden voyage of this "Vessel of the Future".

Since the project kicked off at the end of July 2025, our project team has faced the challenges of a tight construction schedule, innovative technologies and high industry standards. We carried out meticulous organization and scientific construction, and after more than four months of continuous hard work, we not only completed all electrical installation tasks with high quality, but also excellently delivered on all construction milestones required by the client, winning high recognition from all cooperation partners.

As the eighth-generation premium VLCC independently developed by Dalian Shipbuilding, the Kaituo integrates a host of innovative technologies and outstanding performance features:

Green Power: Equipped with a domestically developed methanol dual-fuel main engine and fuel supply system, it significantly reduces carbon emissions and aligns with the global low-carbon trend in the shipping industry.
Intelligent Empowerment: Fitted with China’s independently developed intelligent ship-based platform, intelligent liquid cargo control system and intelligent engine room operation and maintenance system, enabling intelligent operation and digital management.
Superior Performance: Boasting excellent seaworthiness and broad port adaptability, its comprehensive operational economy, safety and environmental protection indicators have reached the world’s leading level.

Our participation in the construction of the Kaituo has not only reaffirmed our professional capabilities in the field of marine electrical engineering, but also accumulated valuable experience for our company in the supporting sector of new energy and intelligent ships.

Looking ahead, our company will further deepen strategic cooperation with high-quality shipbuilding enterprises such as Dalian Shipbuilding, continuously optimize our construction teams and enhance service efficiency. We will provide more stable technical support and more efficient engineering services to escort subsequent shipbuilding projects, and jointly drive the development of China’s shipbuilding industry to new heights of green and intelligent manufacturing.
