A Chinese shipyard has delivered an ultra-large ore carrier for transporting iron ore between Brazil and China.
中国一家船厂已交付一艘超大型矿砂船用于在巴西和中国间运送铁矿石。
The 400,000-tonne carrier produced by Wuchang Shipbuilding Industry Group Co. Ltd. has a carrying capacity equivalent to 6,666 freight train carriages.
The ocean-going vessel1, named "Ore Tianjin," is 362 meters long and 65 meters wide. It can sail 25,500 nautical2 miles without refueling.
Chen Qing, general manager of the company, said the carrier can be powered by liquefied petroleum3 gas (LPG), which could save transport cost by 30 percent and greatly reduce pollution.
The ship also boasts an advanced ship-loading mechanism4 that can load 400,000 tonnes of ore in 16.7 hours.
The vessel passed a sea test before being delivered in Qingdao City in east China's Shandong Province on Thursday.
