Get ready, maritime and energy buffs! The Chinese mainland is about to launch its next-generation liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier, Tianshan, later this month. Built at the Hudong-Zhonghua Shipyard in Shanghai, the 295-meter behemoth is a symbol of advanced shipbuilding prowess. 🚢
Boasting a 174,000 cubic meter capacity, Tianshan measures 295 meters long and 45 meters wide—think of three football fields side by side! ❄️ Designed for ultra-low temperature transport, one voyage can supply enough gas to heat and power about 3.3 million households for a month.
As nations seek reliable energy sources and cutting-edge technology, the arrival of Tianshan underscores the Chinese mainland's growing role in global maritime trade and energy supply. Stay tuned as we track this giant's maiden journey! 🌊
