China State Shipbuilding Corporation subsidiary Guangzhou Shipbuilding International (GSI) has officially commissioned the world’s largest LNG bunker ship, the Hai Yang Shi You 301, following a conversion project, according to Offshore-Energy.

This is China’s first LNG bunkering vessel and was converted from an LNG carrier for China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC). It was built by Jiangnan Shipbuilding and delivered in May 2015. The conversion project was launched in August 2022 at GSI’s Wenchong shipyard.

Spanning a total length of 184.7 meters and a molded width of 28.1 meters, the fuel tanker can carry 30,000 cubic meters of liquefied natural gas. During the conversion process, the vessel was fitted with key equipment such as cryogenic units, gas combustion devices, ship-to-ship refueling systems, and reliquefaction systems to enable the refueling function.

As reported, the vessel has a bunkering capacity of 1,650 cubic meters of LNG per hour, enough to fuel large container ships, dual-fuel ore carriers, tankers and RORO vessels.

Following the delivery of the vessel, the ship is expected to carry out its first bunkering operation shortly. The conversion is the first project of its kind in China.
