Hope Great has signed a supply contract for FSB (Flexible Secondary Barrier Material) of three 175,000-cubic-meter LNG carriers with Dalian Shipbuilding Factory.

      On February 5, 2025, the eighth day of the Year of the Snake in the Chinese Lunar Calendar, after the signing of the preliminary technical agreement, bidding evaluation and approval of the shipowner COSCO Offshore Energy, Hope Great formally signed the supply contract of FSB for the three large-scale LNG carriers of Mark III Flex under the patented system of GTT of 3 bows of 175,000 m3 with Dalian Shipbuilding Institute (DSIC).

      The three-bowed Mark III Flex 175,000 cbm LNG carrier is independently developed by Dalian Shipbuilding, with a total cargo hold capacity of 175,000 cubic meters, adopting GTT's patented Mark III Flex cargo enclosure system, with four cargo holds, the liquid cargo system is only used for the transportation of LNG cargo, and is also equipped with a re-liquefaction system; it will be fitted with two sets of WinGD LNG dual fuel Two WinGD LNG dual-fuel low-speed main engines with integrated iCER system will be installed, which can meet the most stringent IMO emission standards in both fuel oil and gas modes while reducing oil and gas consumption; the newly optimized double transom configuration with high-efficiency propellers and high-efficiency twisted rudders with rudder balls further improves the hydrodynamic performance and enhances the safety and redundancy of the propulsion system; the vessel can berth at the majority of the world's large-scale LNG terminals, which provides excellent portability and shore-to-shore compatibility. It can dock at most of the large LNG shore stations in the world, providing excellent portability and ship-to-shore compatibility; equipped with four dual-fuel generators, the optimized design can cover the ship's power load demand under different working conditions. The vessel is classed by DNV and CCS, and the ship numbers are G175K-9, G175K-10 and G175K-11 respectively.

 

      The FSB for the LNG carrier that is the subject of the contractual delivery, is produced by Total Energy's HUTCHINSON plant in France:

Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Profile:

      The vast ocean condenses the deep blue dream, and the profound history reveals the broad future.DSIC founded in 1898, has gone through the development stages of Russian and Japanese colonial rule, Soviet takeover, independent operation, enterprise division, integration and reorganization, and new large ships, creating more than 80 “firsts” in China's shipbuilding history and witnessing the development of China's shipbuilding industry from small to large. It has witnessed the development of China's shipbuilding industry from small to large, accomplished the historical leap of the Republic's navy from weak to strong, and demonstrated the strong strength of the century-old shipyard with the outstanding merits of building two aircraft carriers.

      Innovation, coordination, green, openness and sharing, the five development concepts guide China's giant ship to move forward, and also lead DMSG to break the waves. In the new era,DSIC has formed an overall layout with Dalian as its headquarters and integrated development in Dalian, Huludao, Shanhaiguan and Tianjin. The Dalian base focuses on the core capacity of military industry and high-tech, high value-added products, the Huludao base focuses on military security, the Shanhaiguan base repairs and builds, and the Tianjin base specializes in the construction of civilian ships. There are 21 shipyards, 10 ship platforms, 21 kilometers of outfitting wharves, covering a total area of 12.3 million square meters in the “one headquarters, four bases”.

      Taking digitalization, informatization, intelligence and refinement as the direction of development, DSIC strongly promotes scientific and technological innovation. With a state-level enterprise technology center and a ship design institute of more than 1,000 people led by academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and Chinese ship design masters, it has independently developed and designed a series of products with international advanced level. New China's first 10,000-ton ship, the first export ship, the first VLCC, the first 400-foot jack-up drilling rig, the first 3,000-meter deep-water semi-submersible drilling rig, and the first intelligent VLCC were all born here.

      DSIC is the main base of China's ship assembly, construction and maintenance, and has built more than 40 models and 800 ships since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and is known as the “cradle of naval vessels” in China. China's first to fourth generation of guided missile destroyers, as well as the first aircraft carrier “Liaoning”, the first domestically produced aircraft carrier “Shandong” have sailed to the sea from here. The mighty warships have cut through the waves, raised the national prestige, strengthened the military soul, and erected the impregnable Great Wall of the sea.

      With strong strength in civil ship and offshore engineering construction, DSIC can undertake the design and construction of 300,000-ton super-large tankers, container ships of 10,000 containers or above, large LNG vessels, FPSOs, shuttle tankers, super-large bulk carriers and ore carriers, as well as various types of drilling platforms. The most advantageous 300,000-ton-class super-large tanker batch accounts for about 15% of the world's operating VLCC fleet; jack-up drilling platform design and construction level of domestic leading, world-class, is China's first launch of independent intellectual property rights of the series products and market breakthroughs in the assembly enterprise; can be engaged in all kinds of ship and offshore platform repair and refitting, is the domestic design and construction of FPSO hulls and the upper part of the module of the largest number of shipyards. It is the shipyard that designs and builds the largest number of FPSO hulls and upper modules in China.

      In accordance with the principle of high-quality development, DSIC actively expands the science and technology application industry. While actively participating in wind power and nuclear power equipment, and steadily developing traditional industries such as tools and new materials, it has entered the medical device manufacturing industry with the new crown epidemic prevention and control; advanced into the environmental protection industry with VOCs treatment as a breakthrough; and developed the drinking water industry in combination with industrial poverty alleviation. The future development prospect is broad and promising.

      DSIC Group actively practices the concept of “Green Shipbuilding”, continuously develops energy-saving and environment-friendly green ships, and provides shipowners with low-emission, low-energy and high-tech products. It has developed and built China's first sail VLCC and the first dual-fuel VLCC, contributing to the early realization of the goal of “carbon neutrality” for the country.

      DSIC is the earliest shipbuilding enterprise in China to go abroad, and the delivery of China's first export ship “Great Wall” in 1981 opened a new era for China's shipbuilding industry to participate in international competition. Starting from the “Great Wall”, the influence of Dasun Group in the international market has been expanding, and orders from various countries and regions have been pouring in. “Build good ships, go to DSIC” Nowadays, DSIC brand has become famous all over the world.

      DSIC vigorously advocates the sharing concept of “creating value for users, creating the future for employees, creating wealth for shareholders, and creating benefits for the society”, always bearing in mind the initial mission of the central enterprise surnamed “Party”, and actively fulfilling the social responsibility of the central military enterprise.
