CHINA BUILD POLAR BOX SHIPS

摘要

The Royal Arctic Line, owned by the Government of Greenland, has contracted China's Guangzhou Wenchong Shipyard Co and the China Shipbuilding Trading Co to build a 2.150TEU container vessel for employment along the coast of Greenland. The 180m by 31m ship will be similar to two vessels to be built by the same two Chinese firms for Iceland's Eimskip and will be ice classed and completed in accordance with the Polar Code. Propulsion will be provided by Tier Ⅲ diesel engines making use of scrubber technology to meet environmental regulations.
