Chapter 2071

In the port of Yangshan, a world-class port just built this year, many media from all over the world are gathered today. It's just a port, of course, it won't be so eye-catching, but a new ship naming and handover ceremony will be held here today.

If it's an aircraft carrier, it's normal to attract global attention. After all, it's a maritime hegemonic weapon, but it will never allow so much media coverage. But what is handed over today is just a cargo ship, but this cargo ship is the largest cargo ship in the world!

Once the largest cargo ship in the world was Nanyang's nock Nevis, a super large crude oil transport ship, once named the sea giant, which was designed and manufactured by Sumitomo Heavy Machinery Co., Ltd. of the island country.

But the nock Nevis, which was just announced to be scrapped last month, in fact, the transportation cost of the ship has been rising in the past two years, the fuel consumption is too high, and the maintenance and operation costs are still high, so it can't make any money.

So when we were fighting for the title of the world's first freighter, Huaxia issued an announcement. A super large freighter with a length of more than 400 meters, a width of 60 meters and a height of more than 73 meters has been produced. The number of full containers has reached 19530, which is the most in history.

Moreover, this cargo ship is equipped with the largest two oar engine. Although the horsepower is not the largest, it is just suitable for this cargo ship.

This ship belongs to Taihua holding group. Today, it's not only the representative of Huaxia Shipbuilding Industry Co., Ltd., a design and manufacturer, and the representative of Taihua holding group, but also the leader of Huaxia, Zhang Ruiqiang.

Zhang Ruiqiang was invited to make an opening speech, and he declined a bit and went to the stage. Looking at so many enterprise representatives and media representatives, Zhang Ruiqiang was very excited.

How backward was the shipbuilding industry in China? It is more than 20 years away from the developed countries. Now, Huaxia has been able to design and manufacture the largest cargo ship in the world.

And the design and manufacture by himself is completely completed by the Chinese themselves. He did not cooperate with foreign shipbuilding enterprises and did not invite foreign designers, which made him feel extremely proud.

Although the state has given a lot of money to Huaxia shipbuilding industry, in fact, it is mainly for the service of marine military equipment, and civil use is only as an auxiliary.

Later, I learned from the foreign shipyards and developed with both hands. The military and civil industries were carried out simultaneously, using the income of civil industry to subsidize the investment of military industry.

When the company reported that it would build the world's largest cargo ship, Zhang Ruiqiang did not believe it.

One is that China's technology is not as powerful as that of other countries, especially the island countries and South Korea. As for Europe and the United States, it can be compared.

In addition, I think it's a big ship. Who can I sell it to? They all want to see which shipping group placed the order and why they didn't know before?

When they saw the name of the company that placed the order, they were stunned. It's not the big state-owned enterprises they think, but the enterprises of Taihua holding group and Fengyu.

They are all curious. Isn't there no logistics trade in Taihua holding group? It's normal to build a ship to transport minerals. After all, Feng Yu controls the world's largest mining group.

The transportation of minerals must be mainly by freighters, but the freighters transporting minerals are different from the freighters transporting minerals by containers. They are bulk freighters.

Someone asked if Feng Yu ordered it for others? But it was immediately rejected by other people. It was written clearly for self use.

If it's really ordering for others, why in the name of Taihua holding? It's not that they are not allowed to sell ships, let alone for civilian use. It's normal trade.

Zhang Ruiqiang called Feng Yu and asked if there was any mistake in it. Feng Yu is right. The ship was made to order according to his requirements. And one is not enough. He needs at least five.

Due to the high price he gave, the contract of Huaxia Shipbuilding Heavy Industry indicates that their order has priority and will be completed in the first time. After the delivery of this ship, the remaining four ships will be completed within three years.

Although it is said that Taihua holding group has no logistics business of its own, who said that it must not be carried out?

They and wind and rain logistics, downwind logistics in the United States opened a logistics company, this is not already open. This ship is a merchant ship to and from the United States and China.

Only the goods of the subsidiaries of Taihua holding group and Fengyun holding group can ensure that this cargo ship does not lack transportation orders. If the international logistics business is launched, a ship is far from enough.

Compared with the previous two ships, the operation cost of their ship is only 70% of the total cost of the previous two ships. How much cost can be saved and how much profit can be increased by this part alone.

If it was before, it would not be possible for the ship to dock in the United States. The draft should be close to 16 meters, and those ports in the United States could not reach it at all.

Now there is no need to worry about it. There is already a wharf berth that can be rebuilt to accommodate such a huge cargo ship. This is the first time to sail, that is, all the Chinese devils will go to Los Angeles, the United States, and stop by the island countries to load and unload some goods.After Zhang Ruiqiang delivered the opening speech, the handover ceremony began, and the chairman of Huaxia shipbuilding industry group and Zong Qingxian signed the handover. The customized world's largest cargo ship is named Taihua.

Standing next to the Taihua, anyone will feel his own insignificance. Everyone's eyes are fixed on the giant.

Some shipping experts have studied that 18000 to 20000 standard containers of cargo ships will be the mainstream of the sea in the future. With large capacity and low operating cost, it will be the choice of all shipping companies.

In theory, a larger number of freighters, such as 22 to 23000 standard containers, should be able to be manufactured with the existing technology.

But why didn't the company order it? Is the price too expensive? No, because there is no port to call.

Let alone the United States. Before Feng Yu and Li Chao Ren invested, they could not stop at the port of 12000 freighters on the west coast. It's difficult to dock such a large ship in a better developed port in Asia and Europe. The cost of rebuilding the wharf is too high, which may not be cost-effective.

In the future, wind and rain logistics and downwind logistics need two cargo ships of this size. With the docking of these cargo ships around the world, the names of these two logistics enterprises will become more and more loud, and their business will be better and better.

The media kept taking photos and interviewing. Some managers of enterprises have begun to communicate with the chairman of Huaxia Shipbuilding Industry Co., Ltd. about the cost and operation cost of the ship. If appropriate, they will also order it.

Seeing these situations, Zhang Ruiqiang is very excited. The shipbuilding industry in China has risen!
