Twin dragons emerge from the sea! Guangzhou Shipbuilding International completes the launching of two new vessels.

On May 17, the No. 2 dock of Guangzhou Shipyard International, a subsidiary of China Shipbuilding Group, completed its second batch of dockings this year. The MSC/GNV dual-fuel luxury ro-ro passenger ship No. 4 (1800 passengers/2800 meters of vehicle lanes) and the BYD (Hong Kong) 7000-car LNG dual-fuel car carrier No. 2 were undocked, and two other half-ships were floated.

The MSC/GNV dual-fuel luxury ro-ro passenger ship No. 4 has an overall length of 218 meters, a width of 29.6 meters, a depth of 10 meters, a design draft of 6.45 meters, a gross tonnage of approximately 52,900 tons, a deadweight of approximately 8,000 tons, and a design speed of 25 knots. The ship has a total of 12 decks, equipped with facilities such as self-service restaurants, cafes, viewing halls, pizzerias, duty-free shops, airline seating areas, children's play areas, and open-air bars, and is equipped with 7 elevators for efficient passage throughout the ship. During the dock construction phase, the ship achieved a score of 90.5 in the undocking transition phase review through continuous optimization of construction processes and the promotion of lean management.

The BYD 7000-car LNG dual-fuel car carrier is a "green and low-carbon upgraded version 2.0" of the series of car carriers built by Guangzhou Shipyard International. The ship has an overall length of 199.9 meters, a width of 38 meters, a design draft of 9 meters, and a design speed of 18.5 knots. It uses an LNG dual-fuel propulsion system, is equipped with a permanent magnet shaft-mounted generator, and adopts various energy-saving measures such as energy-saving devices and drag-reducing antifouling paint, making it more environmentally friendly and energy-efficient among similar ships. Through the efforts of the construction team, this ship achieved a score of 98.6 in the undocking transition phase review, further improving the integrity of the undocking.

This ship also achieved, for the first time, a negative angle test of the side door and stern door during undocking and berthing, reducing one berthing operation and creating conditions for further shortening the berthing cycle.
