My country's international shipping companies sign another large order (settled in RMB for the first time)

Recently, China Shipbuilding Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding, CSSC Trading and Canada's Seaspan Company, the world's largest independent container ship charter owner, signed a construction contract for six self-developed 13,600-container large container ships in Shanghai and settled them in RMB. This is my country's largest shipbuilding order settled in RMB for container ships this year.

The 13,600-container large container ship signed this time is a green and environmentally friendly container ship independently developed and designed by China Shipbuilding Hudong-Zhonghua, with a total length of about 336 meters and a width of 51 meters. It can carry 14,132 standard containers at most and provide 2,000 refrigerated container spaces. The design adopts the latest environmental protection concept and is equipped with desulfurization tower and energy-saving device, which can meet the shipowner's subsequent green fuel modification needs and ensure low energy consumption, high speed and green environmental protection performance.

It is worth noting that this batch of orders is the third batch of orders for a total of 15 large container ships undertaken by Hudong-Zhonghua this year. It is the first time that it has been settled in RMB, and it is also the largest shipbuilding order for container ships settled in RMB in my country this year. It is of great significance to promote the internationalization of the RMB.

At the same time, the use of RMB settlement will also help shipping companies reduce exchange risks, enhance profitability, and enhance market competitiveness. At the same time, it will also help shipowners reduce financing costs and improve trade efficiency.

It is understood that the series of ships signed this time are scheduled to be completed and delivered between 2026 and 2028. Currently, all civilian ship orders held by Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding are green, environmentally friendly and high value-added ship types, and plans for some production lines have been scheduled to After 2030.
