On December 10, the Zigui 4E class multi-purpose battery swap and drifting transfer ship demonstration project officially started construction at Huaxing Shipyard in Zigui County. This is another bright business card of Yichang City to promote the strategy of "electrifying the Yangtze River" after the "Three Gorges of the Yangtze River No. 1" and the "Three Gorges Hydrogen Boat No. 1".
According to reports, the construction of the 4E-class multi-purpose battery swapping drifting transfer ship is a scientific research project of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of Zigui County to undertake and apply the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's "2030 Hubei Branch Line and Closed Water Green Intelligent Ship Key Technology Research and Demonstration Ship Development", is the country's first pure electric multi-functional transport ship with both drifting and freight, is Yichang's first "ship power separation" investment cooperation successful ship type, and is also the Three Gorges Electric Energy and Zigui County in building the "electrified Yangtze River" The demonstration projects of central and local cooperation in the demonstration zone have exemplary and leading significance in the Three Gorges region and even the whole country.
Zigui 4E class multi-purpose battery swap drifting transfer ship is jointly funded by Zigui County Chuyuan Holding Group and Three Gorges Electric Energy, China Shipbuilding 712 Research Institute provides the "three electricity" system, built in Zigui Huaxing Shipyard, with a total investment of 29.9 million yuan (including 12.9 million yuan for the hull and 17 million yuan for the "three electricity" system), with a planned construction period of 6 months. The total length of the ship is 82m, and the width is 1376m, shape depth 40 meters, the maximum design draft is 325m, the main engine power is 450kw 2. It is a steel monohull type, the propulsion mode is double engine and double propeller, electric motor coupled shaft propulsion drive propeller propulsion, and the main deck is equipped with lifting devices with functions such as salvage, lifting, transfer and loading.
Zigui is located at the head of the Three Gorges Dam, with complete shipping infrastructure such as anchorage, transportation, and port, rich application scenarios for official ships, port ships, passenger ferries, tourist ships, and ro-ro ships, and clean energy guarantee pilots such as LNG filling stations and shore power systems, and has inherent endowments and first-mover advantages in the development of green and intelligent ship industry.
In recent years, the county has adhered to the demonstration of ship application scenarios as a breakthrough point, promoted the level of shipbuilding to modernize, accelerated the promotion and application of green and intelligent ships such as drifting ships, passenger ferries, bulk carriers, and Chuanjiang ro-ro ships, strengthened the attraction of ship power supporting enterprises, and made every effort to introduce head enterprises such as China Shipbuilding 712 Institute and Changzhou Zhiyi New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. to settle in the industrial park, and started the construction of new energy ship power battery pack production line, new energy ship power system, Green intelligent ship industry exhibition hall and other projects, actively undertake the construction of municipal innovation platform, promote the substantive operation of Yichang green intelligent ship industry technology research institute, and effectively transform the resource advantages of Zigui into the development advantages of green and intelligent ship industry. Through more than a year of hard work, Zigui has become an important pillar of "four beams and eight pillars" to support the development of Hubei green intelligent ship industry, an important base of "two parks and two bases" for the pilot demonstration of Yichang's green intelligent ship industry, and has taken a solid step on the road of building a standard output place for new energy ships in the reservoir area, a place for technological innovation and a market leader, and a window for Yichang to show the comprehensive application of new energy ships to the world.
Gu Pengfei, secretary of the Zigui County Party Committee and county magistrate, said that he would take this event as a starting point to seize the major development opportunities of the green intelligent ship industry and accelerate the blue ocean of 100 billion yuan in the green and intelligent ship industry.
