The LNG storage tank meets the requirements of the IMO TIER III emission standard; at the same time, it adopts dual-fuel hybrid power and a number of environmental protection technologies, which will reduce about 99% of sulfur oxides, 80% of nitrogen oxides, and 90% of nitrogen oxides during operation. of particulate matter and 30% of carbon dioxide emissions, it is a new generation of environmentally friendly ships.

The successful signing of two 7,000-vehicle dual-fuel vehicle carriers has opened a good start for Weihai Jinling to receive orders this year. Two of the series of ships will start construction this year. Weihai Jinling will ensure that each project is delivered to the shipowner on schedule with its excellent technical capabilities, high-quality on-site service, strict quality control, and efficient construction speed.
