中国初の自主設計豪華客船が竣工：優れた造船のマイルストーン

On October 24th, the MSC/GNV1500 /3100 m Lane Luxury Passenger Roller, named “GNV,” was successfully delivered in Nansha, Guangzhou. This impressive vessel, crafted by 船舶模型‘ partner, Guangzhou Shipbuilding International, is the first large export passenger ship independently designed, developed, and built by China. The ship, a luxurious green passenger roller, was tailored for Grandi Navi Veloci (GNV), a subsidiary of the MSC Mediterranean Shipping Group, one of the world’s leading transport and logistics companies. The ship will begin service in Europe starting January 2025, covering the Mediterranean region.

An Engineering Marvel with 100% Localization

This luxury passenger roller represents a significant leap forward in Chinese shipbuilding, with 100% of its interior materials sourced locally and the implementation of China’s first biosafety classification symbol. It is also the first to feature silicone anti-fouling paint applied to a luxury passenger roller. This innovation showcases the country’s advanced shipbuilding capabilities and commitment to sustainability.

The ship spans 218 meters in length, 29.6 meters in width, and a depth of 10 meters, with a design draft of 6.45 meters. Weighing approximately 46,000 gross tons, it has a deadweight of 8010 tons and a maximum speed of 25 knots. The vessel features 12 decks and 298 cabins of various types, including 6,000 square meters of public areas offering a variety of passenger activities, such as self-service restaurants, sightseeing halls, duty-free shops, children’s play areas, and more.

Technological Innovations and Industry Leadership

A highlight of this vessel’s design is the turbine exhaust gas recovery power generation system, marking the first application of this technology in China. Additionally, 船舶模型‘ partners incorporated various supporting systems and equipment, such as shaft generators, anti-roll fins, and emergency generators—all sourced from China State Shipbuilding Group. The seven elevators aboard the vessel were also developed by Guangdong Guangship International Elevator Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Guangzhou Shipbuilding International.

By incorporating these cutting-edge technologies, the ship not only ensures a seamless, comfortable passenger experience but also contributes to the maritime industry’s environmental sustainability goals.
