00:00And China has taken another step in developing low-emission shipping technologies with the unveiling of a new methanol-powered
00:06vessel.
00:07Our correspondent, Bruno Fossey, with the details.
00:11Greetings, comrades. From here, Beijing, in this Friday, marks a significant development in the international maritime sector
00:21with the commissioning of the first large-scale container ship powered by a dual-full methanol.
00:30The project was completed in the port city of Nantong, in the Jinsu province, with the delivery of the ship
00:38Winsdom,
00:40a high-capacity vessel designed for global shipping.
00:45The ship has a capacity of over 24,000 standard containers, placing it among the largest vessels in the international
00:56trade.
00:57Its dual-full system allows it to operate on both methanol and conventional fuel, enabling it to cover intercontinental routes
01:08without frequent refueling.
01:11According to developers, the use of methanol significantly reduced pollutant emissions, especially carbon dioxide.
01:21This type of innovation strengthens international competitiveness in the maritime sector,
01:29where China seeks to position itself as a player in the development of this carbonization technology to large-scale freight
01:40transport.
01:40Following its completions and handover ceremony, the vessel will enter in sea trials with its official delivery schedule for the
01:52next month,
01:53making another step in the evolution of maritime transport toward a more sustainable propulsion system.
02:03From here, Beijing, we go back with you in the studios.
