On 26th May 2014, the first two vessels from the3300AV lot were successfully launched in Zhenjiang Shipyard.
Invested by AVIC ZHENJIANG SHIPYARD MARINE PTE. LTD. (AZM), a Singapore joint venture between Zhenjiang Shipyard and CATICO INVESTMENTS PTE.LTD, this kind of vessel is the standard one for sales to the international market by AZM. Designed by the world-renowned company ROBERT ALLAN LTD, the vessel boasts a strong hull structure, big-powered main engines and towing gears, a high-efficient operation and quick order response. The astern and sailing performance are equal to each other, which ensure an excellent astern performance so as to reduce the sound and vibration. The vessel is also environment-friendly, with 33.75m in length, 12.2m in width(MLD), 5.40m in depth(MLD), 4.23m in draft(design) and 4000kw of its main engine. With a positive drag force of ≥67t and wave-resistant design, the vessel’s sailing speed reaches to 13.00knots and is also available in non-restricted areas.
At present, this kind of vessel has been put into mass building, which represents a new breaking-through in sales-model creation and enterprise upgrade in Zhenjiang Shipyard.
