China’s 174,000-cubic-meter LNG carrier Ocean Oasis was delivered in Shanghai 3.5 months early on Friday, setting a world record 16-month build time for its class. Built by Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding, the ship is a fifth-generation, China-designed LNG carrier, equipped with top-tier containment systems, dual-fuel engines, and ultra-low boil-off technology, covering over 90% of global LNG routes.

It uses domestically produced Invar steel, which barely changes size at -163°C, stays tough in extreme cold and can be made ultra-thin to boost cargo space. Once foreign-dominated, it’s now being localized in China, alongside high-manganese steel that could cut costs by up to 30%.

The delivery is the 11th LNG carrier the country's top LNG shipbuilder has handed over this year, helping push China’s share of the global LNG ship market from under 5% in 2008 to over 30% today.

CSSC 708th Institute designed and 上海振华重工集团 built 35,000 CBM ultra-large trailing suction hopper dredgers have been delivered (called 通浚 and 浚广).

These are the largest in Asia. They have maximum dredging depth of 120 meters, a full-load draft of 13.5 meters, and a full-load weight of nearly 60,000 tons, comparable in size to an aircraft carrier.

Equipped with 50-ton heavy-duty draglines and a 24-bar high-pressure water jetting system, they can easily excavate hard soil, weathered rock (No. 3), and other difficult-to-excavate soil types. For the first time in the Asian trailing suction hopper dredger industry, the two vessels have achieved an ultra-long dredging distance of over 10 kilometers, allowing sediment to be transported efficiently via pipelines to locations 10 kilometers away, much like a "long-distance express delivery."


Well, if they ever need to get started with island expansion again, this is it.
