CHINA unveils two giant ships to deliver clean‑energy technologies worldwide
CHINA has introduced two sister vessels, each with a 38,000‑ton capacity, designed to transport its “three new” exports — electric vehicles, energy‑storage batteries, and wind‑turbine equipment — to Europe, Australia, and South America.
Built by Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industries (ZPMC), the ships feature an open deck equal to the area of 11 basketball courts, along with long cargo holds capable of carrying about 1.5× the wind‑turbine blade volume of conventional cargo ships.
Each vessel is equipped with three integrated cranes.
Shanghai’s ports recorded 386.4 billion yuan (USD 57.5 billion) in green‑energy technology exports during the first seven months of the year — a 48.5% year‑on‑year increase.
