Low Emission, High Capacity

73m Multipurpose Cargo Vessel

The 73 m Electric Cargo Vessel combines quiet, zero-emission propulsion with high payload capacity for extended inland routes. Built by Shandong Xinneng Shipbuilding (Jining), it leverages twin electric drives and a high-capacity battery system to deliver dependable range, low operating costs, and simplified maintenance while meeting modern class and safety standards. Optimized for canals and rivers, it streamlines port calls, reduces noise in urban corridors, and offers a scalable platform for future energy upgrades.

Highlights

Pure-electric drivetrain: Dual 248 kW motors with ~5.9 MWh installed battery enable efficient, low-noise operation with zero tailpipe emissions.
Built for modern inland networks: Aligns with China’s push to electrify inland waterway logistics; electric cargo ships are already operating on the Grand Canal.
Proven builder (Jining): Shandong Xinneng Shipbuilding (Jining) is delivering next-gen pure-electric inland vessels, incl. recent contracts with CMA CGM (182-TEU electric boxship program).

Applications

Ideal for container and general-cargo transport on extended inland routes, connecting major industrial hubs via clean, quiet, zero-emission shipping. (China is actively electrifying inland shipping corridors, incl. sections of the Beijing–Hangzhou Grand Canal.)
