China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC) unveiled the world's largest container ship at SMM Hamburg, introducing the 27,500 TEU GREEN SEALION 27500.

The giant, which has received an approval in principle (AiP) certificate from classification society DNV, is an LNG-powered dual-fuel vessel that meets IMO Stage III carbon reduction standards and sets the standard for environmentally friendly shipping.

The vessel maximizes cargo capacity, but also features a highly optimized hull design to enhance fuel efficiency. The GREAN SEALION 27500 can achieve zero emissions when in port, thanks to integration with a shore power system.

In addition to the 27,500 TEU container ship, the Chinese shipbuilding group has also unveiled a series of other innovative ship designs such as:

• GREEN SEALION 20000, a 20,000 TEU ammonia dual-fuel containership that represents a step forward in green technology by using ammonia to reduce emissions.
• The GREEN SEALION 16000, a 16,000 TEU LNG dual fuel containership, is designed with enhanced energy efficiency and a wide-body structure to optimize cargo space while reducing environmental impact.
• The two advanced liquefied gas carriers include a Very Large Ethane Carrier (VLEC) with a capacity of 103,000 cubic meters and a Very Large Ammonia Carrier (VLAC) with a capacity of 93,000 cubic meters. Both vessels are built to transport LPG, ethane and ammonia with advanced propulsion and energy-saving systems.
