On the morning of November 3, the tenth 16,000 TEU LNG dual-fuel container vessel "MSC GRACE" built by our group's Yangzi Xinfu Shipbuilding for MSC, was delivered and departed from the shipyard wharf.

The vessel cut the first plate in early October 2024, keel laid in drydock in early April 2025, and launched at the end of July. The sea trial mission was successfully completed in mid-October, with all test results meeting design requirements. On October 8, our group and MSC jointly held a naming ceremony for the new vessel. Ms. Ling Xiaoxia named the new vessel "MSC GRACE", cut the string, tossed champagne, sounded the whistle, and signed the new vessel's commemorative plaque together with the captain as a lasting memento, wishing the crew a safe voyage and bringing honor and wealth to the shipowner and charterer.

 

On October 29, Mr. CH Giuseppe Gargiulo, Newbuilding Manager (China Region) of MSC, and Mr. Yang Xueyan, Assistant General Manager of our Group and General Manager of Yangzi Xinfu Shipbuilding, signed the delivery documents on behalf of their respective parties.
