Recently, China Classification Society (CCS) has completed the construction survey and certification of “Ningyuan Diankun”, the world’s largest and China’s first built pure electric high-end intelligent seagoing vessel.
Invested by Ningbo Ocean Shipping Co., Ltd. (NOCS) and constructed by Jiangxi Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., the 740TEU open-top container ship is 127.8 meters in length, featuring a twin-engine and twin-propeller system with a maximum speed of 11.5 knots. Equipped with 10 containerized batteries as its core power source innovatively , it supports both high-voltage shore power charging and rapid battery swapping.
Additionally, a photovoltaic system is installed to achieve zero emissions throughout its operations, reducing approximately 1,462 tons of carbon dioxide annually compared with regular vessels.
The vessel also boasts advanced intelligent capabilities, holding the CCS i-ship (M, No, I) intelligent ship notations. Its integrated intelligent system enables precise situation awareness, real-time route optimization and comprehensive equipment monitoring, thereby enhancing operational efficiency and refined management.
Throughout the project, CCS provided professional technical support and survey services, including design review and in-depth discussions on key technical issues, laying a solid foundation for the ship’s smooth delivery.
Moving forward, CCS will continue to promote the integration of green and intelligent technologies in shipbuilding, supporting the green and digital upgrading of China’s shipping industry.
