CNOOC(SH:600938) Zhong Guo Xin Wen Wang·2025-10-31 09:24Core Viewpoint - The successful completion of the cross-regional gas testing operation for the "Green Energy Chuan" LNG carrier marks a significant achievement in China's LNG shipping capabilities and energy infrastructure development [1][5]. Group 1: Company Achievements - The "Green Energy Chuan" is China's fifth self-built fifth-generation "Changheng series" LNG carrier, with a capacity of 174,000 cubic meters, making it one of the mainstream large transport vessels globally [3]. - The gas testing operation is a critical quality inspection procedure for newly constructed LNG vessels, ensuring that the cargo system can meet low-temperature loading conditions [3][5]. - The successful gas testing operation is the first of its kind in China, demonstrating the country's advanced capabilities in energy infrastructure and high-end equipment manufacturing [5][6]. Group 2: Operational Challenges - The gas testing faced multiple challenges, including coordination among numerous participants and agencies, as well as a long navigation distance, crossing maritime jurisdictions from Shanghai to Lianyungang [6]. - Comprehensive safety measures were implemented to ensure the safe entry and operation of the vessel in port, including detailed risk assessments and emergency response plans [6]. Group 3: Industry Impact - The successful gas testing operation establishes a complete maritime debugging route for newly constructed LNG vessels from Shanghai to Binhai, enhancing the operational efficiency of domestic LNG shipping [6]. - The operation's success is expected to diversify trade business at the China National Offshore Oil Corporation's (CNOOC) Yancheng "Green Energy Port," providing a replicable model for future vessels and strengthening the resilience of China's clean energy supply chain [6].
