Future bright for low-carbon vessels

At 10:46 am on Saturday, a significant milestone was reached in China's inland waterway transportation history as Minhou, a new 130-type methanol-diesel dual-fuel distribution vessel, arrived at Chongqing Guoyuan Port from Shanghai.

The ship's maiden voyage marked China's entry into methanol-diesel dual-fuel distribution vessels, paving the way for greener and more low-carbon inland waterway vessels in the country.

It is also the first inland vessel in China equipped for flexible loading between standard and wide containers, enabling seamless transfer of wide containers from railways directly onto inland vessels, thus advancing intermodal transportation.
