River-Sea-Going Cargo Vessel

Power and propulsion system
Propulsion method: The mainstream adopts a single engine single propeller configuration, and some ship types also use dual engine double propellers.
Main engine power: The main engine power range is wide, for example, the total power of a 14000 ton bulk carrier can reach 3220 kW (2 × 1610 kW), while another 10000 ton ship uses a single 2427 kW main engine.
New energy power: LNG single fuel power is an important development direction. For example, some ship types use LNG as a single fuel for propulsion.
Design speed: The design speed is usually between 11 and 12.5 knots.
🏗️ Cargo hold and loading/unloading system
Cargo hold optimization: The new generation of river sea direct ships tend to optimize the cargo hold from 3 cabins to 2 cabins. This design can improve the speed of unloading and clearance, and shorten the loading and unloading time by 4-6 hours.
Capacity and cargo: With a 2-cell design, the capacity of a 14000 ton bulk carrier can reach approximately 16886 cubic meters. The cabin capacity of some ship types has increased by 10% compared to ships of the same type.
🌱 Environmental protection and intelligent configuration
Green ship type: Actively adopting clean energy such as LNG single fuel, in line with the development trend of green and low-carbon.
Shore power system: Many modern river sea direct ships are equipped with ship shore power systems, which can be connected to shore power during port calls to achieve zero emission operations.
Technological innovation: Applying wide and flat hull technology and structural lightweight design technology to achieve greater cargo capacity, lower fuel consumption, and better economy.
