HaiChuan celebrates the 73rd anniversary of the motherland; witness the great development in chemical engineering equipment. Replies will be rewarded – discussions are welcome. On July 18, 2022, two sets of 3,750-cubic-meter LNG fuel tanks built by Jiangsu Huazi Energy Engineering Co., Ltd. for South Korean Samsung Heavy Industries were loaded onto barges and, carrying the efforts and hopes of the Huazi team, set sail from the port toward South Korea. The successful shipment of this project marks a smooth start to the excellent cooperation between Huazi Energy and Samsung Heavy Industries, and it initiates a wave of deliveries for Samsung Heavy Industries’ 2*3750 cubic meter LNG fuel tank projects. This project will be used for the 320,000-ton dual-fuel VLCC constructed by Samsung Heavy Industries. The tank has a diameter of 12 meters, a total length of 34.2 meters, a design pressure of 4.0 barg, and a design temperature of -163°C. It is classified by the ABS classification society, and it represents a key component in enabling this series of VLCCs to use LNG as a clean fuel source. Since the signing of the contract last July, Huazi and Samsung have maintained close communication and cooperation regarding the project’s design and construction. During the project construction phase, Huazi’s team attached great importance to the management requirements and suggestions put forward by Samsung’s on-site supervision staff. By maintaining efficient communication on site and resolving issues promptly, they also looked for solutions at the technical level, striving to further improve construction efficiency within Samsung’s high-standard supervision framework.
