Academic paper on the ACP100S floating nuclear reactor platform from 2020. Posted by SOYO on Weibo.
From the paper
"China National Nuclear Corporation has developed two types of floating nuclear power plants (ACP100S and ACP25S). Through single-port or dual-reactor arrangements, the power range can cover 25-250 MW. Among them, ACP100S has started a demonstration project and is scheduled to be put into operation in 2023: China General Nuclear Power Group has independently developed the ACPR50S floating nuclear power plant, with a single reactor thermal power of 200 MW and an electric power of about 60MW. The construction of the experimental reactor is currently underway: The 719th Institute of China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation has proposed the HHP25 plan for the marine nuclear power platform, with a single reactor thermal power of 100 MW and a single reactor electric power of about 25MW. The preliminary design has been completed"
new large electric ship been built here. Actually unclear to me if this is battery electric since the range/endurance on this seems so implausibly long
COSCO Shipping just saw the steel cutting of the largest ever methanol dual fuel VLOC.
It is invested in lower carbon shipping.

Seeing all those ships either being build, tested or ready to be commissioned in one single picture shows the immense ship building prowess that China nowadays has:
When was this photo taken?
China's shipbuilding industry here described by COSCO shipping, really quite incredible.
Video of a nighttime flyover of Jiangnan and Hudong-Zhonghua shipyards on Changxin Island, taken early this morning.
The smaller drydock at Hudong-Zhonghua is already in use (building a smaller cargo vessel at present). The larger drydock at the same shipyard is also building a larger cargo vessel right now, with no other ships visible inside the same drydock.
