Extraordinary Genius

In the port of Mount Mortu, a world-class port just completed this year, today brings together many of the world's media outlets. It's just a port, of course, but there's going to be a new boat naming handover here today.

If it is a shipping ~ mother, then it is normal to attract global attention. After all, it is the dominant weapon at sea, but it will never allow so much media coverage. But today, it's just a freighter, but it's the biggest freighter in the world!

Formerly the world's largest freighter, the Knox Nevis in the Southern Ocean, a supermassive crude oil carrier, once named the Maritime Giant, was designed and manufactured by Sumitomo Heavy Machinery Industries, Inc., an island nation.

However, the Knox Nevis, which had just been declared obsolete last month, actually saw rising transport costs over the past two years, too much fuel consumption, high maintenance and operating costs and no more money.

So when the title of the world's first freighter was still in competition, Huaxia issued an announcement that an oversized freighter over 400 meters in length, 60 meters in width and 73 meters in height had been manufactured, and the number of full containers had reached 19,530, the highest in history.

And one more thing, this cargo ship carries the biggest double-paddle engine, and although not the biggest horsepower, it fits perfectly on this cargo ship.

This ship belongs to Taihua Holding Group. Today it is not just Huaxia Shipbuilding Heavy Industries, a representative of the manufacturer, a representative of Taihua Holding Group, even Huaxia leader Zhang Ruiqiang is here.

Zhang Ruiqiang was invited to make an opening speech. He resigned and walked to the stage. Zhang Ruiqiang was very excited to see so many business representatives and media representatives under the stage.

Once Huaxia's shipbuilding industry was lagging behind, more than two decades away from developed countries. Today, Huaxia has been able to design and manufacture the world's largest freighter.

And the design and manufacture of this is entirely done by the Huaxians themselves, without cooperating with foreign shipbuilding enterprises, without engaging foreign designers, which makes him feel extra proud.

Huaxia Ship Heavy Industries, although the state has given a good investment, in fact, more is for naval ~ military ~ military equipment, civilian use only as auxiliary.

Later, he studied with those shipyards abroad, developed with both hands, conducted simultaneously with military ~ use, civilian revenue, subsidized military ~ use investment.

And when the company reported that it was going to build the world's largest freighter, Zhang Ruiqiang did not believe it.

One is that Huaxia's technology is not as powerful as that of other countries, especially the island countries and South Korea. As for Europe and the United States, it can be compared.

And who do you think you're selling it to? They all want to see which shipping group placed the order, why didn't they know before?

When they saw the name of the company that placed the order, they were stunned. Not what they think of as a state-owned enterprise, but a Taihua holding group, Feng Yu's enterprise.

They're all curious, isn't there a logistics trade for Taihua Holdings? It would be more normal to build a ship that transports minerals, after all, Feng Yu controls the largest mineral group in the world.

Mineral transport is definitely mainly cargo ships, but mineral cargo ships are not the same as containerized cargo ships, minerals are bulk cargo ships.

Someone asked if Feng Yu ordered it for someone else. But it was immediately rejected by others, which clearly stated that it was self-use.

If you did order for someone else, why use the name of Taihua Holdings? It's not that they're not allowed to sell ships, not to mention for civilian use. It's normal trade.

Zhang Ruiqiang called Feng Yu and asked if there was a mistake. Feng Yu was absolutely right, the boat was tailored to his requirements. And one is not enough, he needs at least five.

Because of the high price he had given, Huaxia Shipbuilding's contract stated that their order had priority and that construction would be completed at the first time, and that after the delivery of the ship, the remaining four ships would be delivered within three years.

Although Taihua Holdings does not have a logistics business per se, who says it must not?

Weren't they already in business with the logistics company that runs the storm logistics and downwind logistics in the US? This is a merchant ship that goes to and from Michi and Huaxia.

The cargo of the subsidiaries of Taihua Holdings Group and Feng Yu Holdings Group alone ensures that the cargo ship is free of shipping orders, and a ship is far from sufficient when international logistics operations begin.

Their ship, comparable to the previous two ships, has operating costs, but only 70 percent of the total of the previous two ships, which alone can save how much and how much more profits.

If it had been, then it would have been impossible for the ship to dock in the United States, eating nearly 16 metres deep, and those ports in the United States would not have been reached at all.

Now there is no need to worry, there is already a dock that has been altered to accommodate this giant cargo ship. The first voyage, the Huaxia Demons, went to Los Angeles, USA, and stopped by the island country to load and unload some cargo.

After Zhang Ruiqiang's opening speech, the handover ceremony began, and Huaxia Shipbuilding Heavy Industries Group's chairman and Zongqing signed the handover first. This bespoke, currently the world's largest cargo ship, was named the Taihua.

Standing next to the Taihua, anyone will feel small. Everyone's eyes are on this huge thing.

Shipping experts have studied that between 18,000 and 20,000 standard container cargo ships will be mainstream at sea in the future. Large carrying capacity and low operating costs will be the choice for all shipping companies.

In theory, larger vessels, such as those that have reached between 2.2 and 23,000 standard containers, could also be manufactured with existing technology.

But why didn't the company order it? Is it too expensive? No, because there's no port to stop at.

The US will not say, until Feng Yu and Li Superman invest, the West Coast will not be able to stop the port of 12,000 cargo ships. Where ports on the Asia-Europe side are better developed, it is also difficult to dock such a large boat, and the cost of altering the pier is too high to necessarily be cost-effective.

In the future, both wind and rain logistics and downwind logistics will require two cargo ships of this size. As these cargo ships dock around the world, the names of these two logistics companies will become more and more loud and the business will become better and better.

Continuous photo interviews in the media, some business owners, have begun to talk to the chairman of Huaxia Shipbuilding Heavy Industries about how much this ship costs and how much it costs to operate, and if appropriate, they will order it.

Seeing these circumstances, Zhang Ruiqiang was very excited. Huaxia's shipbuilding industry has risen!
