China’s biggest all-electric bulk carrier, named Gezhouba, was launched on Thursday in Yichang, central China’s Hubei Province, marking a key milestone in the country’s green and intelligent shipping sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vessel, with a length of nearly 130 meters and a maximum load capacity of over 13,000 tonnes, is equipped with 12 lithium battery power units providing total energy capacity of 24,000 kWh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its developer said this vessel allows for rapid battery swapping and boasts a range of 500 kilometers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of intelligence, the ship features an advanced smart control system that enables remote navigation and automatic berthing, integrated with multi-link communication networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chinese Academy of Engineering academician Yan Xinping highlighted that this project goes beyond single-product innovation — as it successfully validates core technologies like large-capacity batteries and distributed DC power systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The carrier is expected to save approximately 617 tonnes of fuel annually and reduce annual carbon dioxide emissions by 2,052 tonnes. \u25a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
