There is also a smaller mast at the front close to the bow of the ship. I wonder if all three masts belong to the same vessel planned.

With all those struts and supports sticking out of that thing, it almost looks... gothic. Reminds me of Soviet-style mast design. Too bad PLAN hasn't gotten around to designing enclosed masts yet.

In addition, this ship looks quite large. Does anyone knows how big this ship is in terms of lenght, displacement, etc?

This is the third hull utilizing the Type 636A AGI platform, length 129.28m, beam 17m, draft 8.1m, full displacement 5883t, speed 17.5 kt, complement 134, endurance 60 days, range 15000nm/15kt. The figures for this particular ship may vary slightly but the difference should be minimum, because the general structure (other than the larger main mast) is exactly the same as the other two ships, AGI872 and 873.

HONG KONG | Sun Jul 17, 2011 9:05pm EDT

(Reuters) - Shanghai's Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding has signed orders to build four liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers worth about $1 billion from joint ventures of Japan's Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL), its first major LNG export orders, a newspaper reported on Monday.

Ship brokers said the ships, which can carry 172,000 cubic metres of LNG each, were expected to cost about $200-250 million apiece, the South China Morning Post reported.

Hudong-Zhonghua is controlled by China State Shipbuilding Corp, one of the two largest shipbuilding conglomerates in the country.

Two of the ships will be operated by MOL and East China LNG Shipping Investment, while the other two will be operated by MOL and North China LNG Shipping Investment, it said.

North China LNG Shipping and East China LNG Shipping are joint ventures established by China Shipping Group with China National Petroleum Corp (CNPC) and Sinopec Group respectively.

Can anyone give me a quick over view of China's ship building industry, specially ship building yards. What and where are most of their military vessel primarily being build?

And is there any secondary shipyard, so that in case of war that primary shipyard are being bombed, other shipyard located in safer places can take over the production.

I was surprised to read that Wuhan can build a 5000T displacement patrol ship, I mean that is located like deep inside the interior of China.

Despite – or because of – its location far up the Jiangzi River, Wuhan is China’s principal diesel submarine shipyard, seconded by Jiangnan as a supplementary source of newcon submarines.

You will find up soon enough where warships are being built by reading the threads. But being a kind soul, here is a list of shipyards (dates are those of the latest GE updates):

The "Bohai emerald bead" passenger and roll-on/roll-off ship, which is the largest in scale and the longest in travelling distance in China to date, started its maiden voyage on the morning of August 8, 2012 at the Yantai Port of east China's Shandong Province. Different from ordinary ships, the 36,000-ton-water-displacement civilian passenger and roll-on/roll-off ship was in accordance with the national defense requirements in its design and construction so that it can project organic troop units and heavy equipment.

According to the briefing, the 178-meter-long and 28-meter-wide ship can carry 2,000-plus persons and be loaded with over 300 vehicles of various sizes one time.

The "Bohai emerald bead" is the first ship of its kind, and the three additional passenger and roll-on/roll-off ships with the same water displacement are now under construction, which all follow the national defense requirements.

According to Rong Xianwen, director of the Military Transportation Department under the Jinan Military Area Command (MAC) of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA), the passenger and roll-on/roll-off ship is the most optimal ship type in maritime transportation of military troops as it possesses the advantages including large transportation quantity and high loading efficiency.

It is not only the means of transportation, but also a temporary barrack. Such type of ship is often recruited in the military operations in western developed countries.

"This is a new leap-forward in enhancing PLA's strategic projection capability by civilian ships," said Zhang Wei, director of the Military Transportation Department under the PLA General Logistics Department, "It boasts an important significance in ensuring troop units to fulfill diversified missions."
