On January 9, 2019, the world's first 2000-ton new energy electric self-unloading ship built by Guangzhou Shipyard International for Guangzhou Development Ruihua New Energy Electric Ship Co., Ltd. held a signing and delivery ceremony.

The ship was completed at the end of 2017 and delivered at the end of 2018. This time, a signing ceremony was held for it.

It is reported that the ship has a total length of 70.5 meters, a width of 13.9 meters, a depth of 4.5 meters, a design draft of 3.3 meters, and a crew of 6 people. As its control and propulsion system, the inland new energy electric self-unloading steel cargo ship with a deadweight tonnage of 2,000 tons has a bucket-type cargo hold and loads electric coal, mainly sailing in the inland waters of the Pearl River.

The ship is equipped with a 26-ton supercapacitor and a super-powerful lithium battery. The battery capacity of the whole ship is about 2,400 kWh, which is equivalent to the battery capacity of 40 BYD new E6 "Forerunner" cars.

The ship is designed to have a maximum speed of 12.8 km/h (about 7 knots) and an endurance of up to 80 kilometers. The ship adopts a fully enclosed cargo hold structure, which can effectively prevent the carried cargo from scattering and polluting the environment.

In addition, the ship is also equipped with a domestic sewage and domestic garbage collection system. During the voyage, no fuel is consumed throughout the journey, and carbon, sulfur and other exhaust gas pollutants and PM2.5 particles are zero emissions, reaching the highest level required by the "Inland River Green Ship Specifications". .
