近日，潤邦海洋為德國ESSBERGER集團建造的第三艘13000DWT雙相不銹鋼化學品船完成鋼板切割，正式開工建造。這是該系列船批量化建造的又一進展，也表明潤邦海洋與ESSBERGER集團的合作正穩步向國際高端化學品船市場延伸。

該船在設計階段就為綠色升級留出空間，預留甲醇燃料動力系統和風帆輔助推進系統安裝條件。未來采用甲醇動力后，有望降低碳排放、改善運營經濟性；加裝風帆輔助推進裝置后，則可利用風能降低燃油消耗，更好滿足航運市場低碳、節能要求。

船舶設有18個獨立貨艙，可同時裝載多類不同特性的化學品，滿足“一站式”運輸需求。貨艙采用雙相不銹鋼材料，兼具耐腐蝕性、低溫韌性和高強度，適合承運苯類、醇類等高附加值化學品，也能適應低溫海域航行環境。在保障運輸安全的同時，船舶兼顧裝載效率和長期運營經濟性。

目前，該系列前兩艘船已先后完成開工、上船臺等關鍵節點，項目推進平穩有序。第三艘船開工后，系列船進入連續建造階段，有利于提高建造效率、穩定質量管控，也為后續批量交付打下基礎。

接下來，潤邦海洋將繼續做好節點管控和工藝執行，穩步推進后續建造任務，確保該系列雙相不銹鋼化學品船按期交付并投入全球航線運營，為國際高端化學品航運市場提供更多綠色低碳新運力。

Recently, ROC completed Steel Cutting for the third 13,000 DWT duplex stainless steel chemical tanker built for Germany's ESSBERGER Group, officially marking the start of construction. This is another milestone in the batch construction of the series and shows that cooperation between ROC and ESSBERGER Group is steadily extending into the international high-end chemical tanker market. The vessel was designed with space reserved for green upgrades, including installation conditions for a methanol fuel power system and a wind-assisted propulsion system. In the future, adopting methanol power is expected to reduce carbon emissions and improve operating economics; installing wind-assisted propulsion devices will allow wind energy to reduce fuel consumption and better meet the shipping market's low-carbon and energy-saving requirements.

The vessel has 18 independent cargo tanks and can simultaneously carry multiple types of chemicals with different characteristics, meeting "one-stop" transport needs. The cargo tanks use duplex stainless steel, which combines corrosion resistance, low-temperature toughness and high strength. They are suitable for carrying high-value-added chemicals such as benzene and alcohols, and can also adapt to navigation in low-temperature sea areas. While ensuring transport safety, the vessel also takes into account loading efficiency and long-term operating economics.

At present, the first two vessels in the series have successively completed key milestones including Steel Cutting and Keel Laying, and the project is progressing smoothly and in an orderly manner. With the Steel Cutting of the third vessel, the series have entered the stage of continuous construction, which is conducive to improving construction efficiency and stabilizing quality control, and also lays the foundation for subsequent batch delivery.

Next, ROC will continue to carry out milestone control and process execution well, steadily advance subsequent construction tasks, and ensure that the series of duplex stainless steel chemical tankers are delivered on schedule and put into global route operation, providing more green and low-carbon new capacity for the international high-end chemical shipping market.
