Warm congratulations on the successful launch of the Min Fan vessel, a 130-type LNG dual-fuel combined transport ship on the Yangtze River main line, on April 27, 2025

On April 27, 2025, under a warm spring breeze and sparkling river, the Yangtze River main line witnessed an exciting event—the successful launch of the "Min Fan," a 130-type LNG single-fuel combined transport ship. This milestone achievement marks a significant step forward for our company's inland waterway transportation in its pursuit of green, intelligent, and efficient development. In the early morning, on the banks of the Yangtze River, a majestic vessel lay quietly on the slipway, awaiting its historic moment. The atmosphere was bustling with people from government departments, shipping companies, research institutions, and various sectors of society, all gathered to witness this glorious occasion. With the sound of celebratory firecrackers, the atmosphere reached a fever pitch, and everyone's attention focused on the "Min Fan," about to be launched. As a new generation of green and environmentally friendly vessel on the Yangtze River main line, the "Min Fan" was designed with advanced environmental protection concepts and technological innovation. Using LNG (liquefied natural gas) as its primary fuel, it significantly reduces emissions of sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter compared to traditional fuel-powered ships. This is of great significance for improving the water quality of the Yangtze River and protecting the ecological environment along its banks. This initiative actively responds to the national strategic goals of "carbon peaking" and "carbon neutrality," demonstrating the shipping industry's responsibility and commitment to addressing global climate change. In terms of technological innovation, the "Min Fan" is not only equipped with an intelligent navigation system, enabling remote monitoring, automatic collision avoidance, and route optimization, but also features an advanced cargo management system, making cargo loading, unloading, and transportation more efficient and safe. The application of these technologies not only improves the ship's operational efficiency but also provides a more comfortable and safer working environment for the crew, stepping into the intelligent era with national shipping. The successful launch of the "Min Fan" is the result of the wisdom and hard work of countless researchers and engineering technicians. From design to construction, every stage has undergone rigorous scientific verification and meticulous construction, ensuring that the ship's performance indicators meet international advanced standards. In particular, in the integration and application of the LNG fuel system, the R&D team overcame a series of technical challenges, setting a new benchmark for the green development of inland waterway transportation.

As the "Min Fan" slowly slid into the Yangtze River, the splashing waves seemed to herald the arrival of a new era. Let us look forward to the "Min Fan" setting sail on the blue waters of the Yangtze River, embarking on an even more glorious chapter!
