Yangzijiang Shipbuilding Wins Orders for Two 325,000 dwt Bulkers
Singapore-listed Yangzijiang Shipbuilding has secured new shipbuilding orders for two 325,000 dwt bulk carriers.
The Chinese shipbuilder noted that the new orders were received from an Asia-based shipowner, without revealing further details.
The new bulk carriers will be built by the group s Xinfu shipyard. The new units are scheduled to be handed over to their owners by June 2021.
"The shipbuilding industry globally remains challenging with trade war concerns, declining orders, and fierce competition. In midst of this, it is very encouraging to see order flow for Yangzijiang as we secured the two new bulk carrier orders," Ren Letian, Chief Executive Officer of the group, commented.
Additionally, Letian said that the group, together with its partner Mitsui, achieved "a significant milestone" on August 19 with its first semi-submerged ship launching for an 82,000 dwt vessel from the Taicang yard.
"This unique way of launching a vessel uses a floating dock rather than the traditional way of launching a vessel through a slipway or dry dock and with this technology the vessels don t require to be built only in docks.
"With the first vessel built and launched by us without using a dock, we are scaling up in our capability for building of LNG vessels at our Taicang yard."

CMA CGM Pledges Not to Use the Northern Sea Route
French shipping major CMA CGM has decided that none of its 500 vessels will use the Northern Sea Route along Siberia, which is now open due to climate change.
Additionally, the company said it would give priority to liquefied natural gas (LNG) to power its future ships in order to further protect the environment.
"With this decision, CMA CGM makes the resolute choice to protect the environment and the planet s biodiversity despite the major competitive advantage this route represents for shipping companies," Rodolphe Saade, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the CMA CGM Group, said.
The decisions were to be presented at the G7 meeting taking place at Biarritz, France, from August 24-26.
The Northern Sea Route, which runs the length of the Siberian Coast, connects Asia to Europe today. The route has been made navigable due to the effects of global warming.
"The use of the Northern Sea Route will represent a significant danger to the unique natural ecosystems of this part of the world, mainly due to the numerous threats posed by accidents, oil pollution or collisions with marine wildlife," according to CMA CGM.
Furthermore, the company explained that today LNG offers the best proven solution available to significantly reduce the environmental footprint of maritime transport. The use of LNG reduces emissions of sulphur and fine particles by 99%, nitrogen oxides emissions by 85% and carbon dioxide emissions by up to 20%.
CMA CGM would use LNG to power its ultra-large ships that are designed to carry up to 23,000 containers. The first ship in this fleet of nine container vessels are scheduled for delivery as early as 2020. By 2022, the company will have 20 LNG-powered vessels in its fleet.
The shipowner added that it continues research into other energy sources after a successful test of biofuel oil at port of Rotterdam aboard the 5,095 TEU containership CMA CGM White Shark in March 2019. CMA CGM is also establishing research partnerships to develop hydrogen as a potential long-term energy solution.
During the meeting, Saade is to deliver to the President of France, Emmanuel Macron, on behalf of the maritime industry, the SAILS (Sustainable Actions for Innovative and Low-impact Shipping) Charter, formalized on the initiative of the Ministry for the Ecological and Inclusive Transition.
Through this charter, ten French signatory shipping companies, including Brittany Ferries, CMA CGM, Corsica ferries, Corsica Linea, Express des iles, Jifmar, La Meridionale, LDA, Orange Marine, PONANT, all members of Armateurs de France, commit to implementing specific actions in the reduction of emissions of air pollutants and greenhouse gases, whale protection, vessel energy optimization and performance, and strengthening of relations with the scientific community.
Between 2005 and 2015, the group reduced its CO2 emissions per container transported by 50% and has a target to further reduce these emissions by a further 30% by 2025.
"We make these decisions for the future, to leave our children a cleaner planet," Saade said, inviting the entire industry, competitors, partners and customers, "to join us."

PIL Gets Environmental Ship Index Certification for Its 500K TEU Fleet
Singapore s container shipping company Pacific International Lines (PIL) has obtained the Environmental Ship Index (ESI) certification for its fleet comprised of about half a million TEUs.
As explained, this is a major milestone for the ship owner and operator ahead of the transition towards the International Maritime Organization (IMO) sulphur cap 2020 from January 1 next year.
ESI certification is an ongoing initiative by the World Ports Sustainability Program (WPSP) and is a voluntary program for ship owners to enroll their vessels - attesting that their vessels exceed the basic standard set by the IMO.
To qualify for the certification, vessels have to demonstrate that their emission level of nitrogen oxide (NOx), sulphur oxide (SOx) and carbon oxide (CO2) is well below what is allowed by the IMO. This is an indicator of the environmental performance of the ocean-going vessels and is aimed at encouraging the adoption of green ships.
Back in 2017, the International Association for Ports and Harbours (IAPH) set up WPSP with the aim of enhancing and coordinating future sustainability efforts of ports worldwide as well as fostering international cooperation with partners in the supply chain.
"Sustainability will remain a key part of how we conduct our business and we take protecting our maritime and port environment very seriously. We are doing this not just for ourselves but for the next generation who will be inheriting this earth from us," Teo Siong Seng, Executive Chairman and MD of PIL, commented.
"PIL is proud to be part of the program and we will continue to engage with business, governmental and societal stakeholders to make sustainable value-add to the local communities and beyond," he added.
PIL owns and operates with a fleet of around 150 container and multipurpose vessels, serving over 500 locations in 100 countries.
