Chapter 2071: World's first freighter

At the Moduyangshan Port, this world-class port, which was just completed this year, has gathered many media around the world today. It’s just a port, of course it’s not so eye-catching, but today we’re going to hold a new ship named handover ceremony.
If it is an aircraft carrier, it is normal to attract global attention. After all, this is a maritime hegemonic weapon, but it will never allow so many media reports. But today's handover is just a cargo ship, but this freighter is the world's largest freighter!
Once the world's largest freighter, Nankook's Knock Navis, a super-large crude oil carrier, was once named the Sea Giant, designed and manufactured by Sumitomo Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. of the island nation.
However, this Nok Nevis, which was just announced last month, was actually scrapped. In fact, the transportation cost of this ship has been rising in the past two years. The fuel consumption is too high, the maintenance and operating costs are high, and the profit has been earned. Not enough money.
So the title of the world's first freighter, when everyone was still fighting for it, Huaxia issued an announcement. A super-large cargo ship with a length of more than 400 meters, a width of 60 meters and a height of more than 73 meters has been produced. Completed, the number of fully loaded containers reached 19,530, the highest in history.
Another point is that this cargo ship carries the largest scull engine. Although the horsepower is not the largest, it is just right for this cargo ship.
This ship is part of the Taihua Holding Group. Today, it is not only the representative of the design and manufacturer of Huaxia Shipbuilding Heavy Industry, but also the representative of the Taihua Holding Group. Even the Chinese leader Zhang Ruiqiang has come.
Zhang Ruiqiang was invited to give an opening speech. He made a lot of remarks and went to the stage. Looking at so many corporate representatives and media representatives, Zhang Ruiqiang is very excited.
How backward is the shipbuilding industry in China, and the gap between developed countries and developed countries is more than 20 years. Today, Huaxia has been able to design and manufacture the world's largest freighter.
And this self-designed and manufactured, completely completed by the Huaxia people themselves, did not cooperate with foreign shipbuilding companies, did not invite foreign designers, which made him feel extraordinarily proud.
Although China’s shipbuilding heavy industry has given a lot of capital investment, in fact, more of it is for the naval military equipment, and civilian use is only an aid.
Later, I learned from those shipyards in foreign countries, and developed them in two hands. Military and civilian use were carried out simultaneously, and civilian income was used to subsidize military investment.
When the company reported that it wanted to build the world's largest freighter, Zhang Ruiqiang did not believe it.
One is that Huaxia's technology is not as strong as that of foreign countries, especially not comparable to the island countries and South Korea. As for Europe and the United States, it can be compared.
In addition, I feel that I have built such a big ship and who is it sold to? They all want to see, which shipping group is placing orders, why didn't they know before?
When they saw the name of the company that placed the order, they both stopped. It is not a large state-owned enterprise that they think, but a company of Taihua Holding Group and Feng Yu.
They are very curious, Taihua Holding Group, is not without logistics trade? If it is to build a ship that transports minerals, it is still relatively normal. After all, Feng Yu controls the world's largest mining group.
Mineral transportation is definitely the use of freighters, but the freighters that transport minerals are not the same as the freighters transported by containers. The bulk of the minerals is bulk carriers.
Someone asked, is Feng Yu helping someone else order? But it was immediately rejected by others. The above is clearly written and used for personal use.
If you really order someone else, why use the name of Taihua Holdings? They are not allowed to sell ships, let alone civilian use. This is normal trade.
Zhang Ruiqiang called Feng Yu and asked if it was wrong. Feng Yu bluntly said that the ship was customized according to his requirements. And one is not enough, he needs at least five.
Due to the high price he gave, the contract of Huaxia Shipbuilding Heavy Industry stated that their orders had priority and will be completed in the first time. After the delivery, the remaining four ships will be delivered within three years.
Although the Taihua Holding Group itself does not have a logistics business, who said it must not be carried out?
They have opened logistics companies with wind and rain logistics and smooth logistics in the country. Is this not already open? This ship is used to travel to and from the country of China and China.
It is the goods of the subsidiaries of Taihua Holding Group and the Wind and Rain Holding Group that can guarantee that this freighter does not lack transportation orders. If the international logistics business is launched, a ship is not enough.
Their ship is comparable to the previous two ships. The operating cost is only 70% of the total of the previous two ships. This part of the ship can save much cost and increase the profit.
If it was before, then the ship would not be able to stop at the country, the draught should be close to 16 meters deep, and those ports in the country could not reach it.
And now there is no need to worry, there is already a dock berth remodeling completed, you can dock this giant freighter. This first voyage, that is, Huaxia Modu to the Los Angeles of the United States, to stop by the island country, loading and unloading some goods.
After Zhang Ruiqiang delivered the opening speech, the handover ceremony began, and the chairman of Huaxia Shipbuilding Industry Group and Zong Qingxian signed and handed over. This customized current world's largest freighter was named Taihua.
Standing on the edge of the Taihua, anyone will feel that they are small. Everyone’s eyes are watching this behemoth.
Some shipping experts have studied that the freighter of 1.8 to 20,000 standard containers will be the mainstream of the sea in the future. Large carrying capacity and low operating costs will be the choice of all shipping companies.
In theory, the freighter, which reaches 2.2 to 23,000 standard containers, can also be manufactured with existing technology.
But why is there no company ordering? Is the price too expensive? No, it is because there is no port to stop.
The country will not say it, Feng Yu and Li Chaoren before they invested, the port of the West Coast with a fleet of 12 thousand cargo ships could not stop. Where the port of Asia and Europe is developing better, it is difficult to stop such a large ship. The cost of rebuilding the terminal is too high and may not be cost-effective.
In the future, both wind and rain logistics and downwind logistics will require two such large freighters. With the docking of these freighters around the world, the names of these two logistics companies will become more and more loud, and the business will also develop. The better.
The media continued to take photos and interviews. The CEOs of some companies have begun to communicate with the chairman of China Shipbuilding Heavy Industry. The cost of the ship is about how much the operating cost is. If it is appropriate, they will also order it.
Seeing these situations, Zhang Ruiqiang is very excited, and China's shipbuilding industry has risen!
