The deal includes the design, construction, and delivery of a 20,000 cu metres LNG bunkering and supply vessel, with a length of 160 metres and a beam of 25 metres.

Power of the vessel will be provided by WinGD dual-fuel main engine fitted with an intelligent control by exhaust recycling (ICER) system.

The vessel can meet IMO Tier III emission standards, significantly reducing pollution emissions, methane escape and greenhouse gas release during operation, making it an ideal choice for green shipping. The optimisation of the cargo containment system of this series of vessel achieves a lower evaporation rate than that of vessels of the same size in the market and reduces operating costs. 

As the end of 2024, CIMC Enric newly inked over RMB10bn of new vessel construction and related contracts, an increase of 33.69% year-on-year.
