Abstract

In December 2023, COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry Company's latest design project ‘Methanol Dual-Fuel 154,000 DWT Shuttle Tanker’ received the principle-based approval of multiple classification societies. As a special type of ship, the shuttle tankers are always equipped with the latest shipping and loading technology. This paper aims to analyse a series of shuttle tanker research projects undertaken by COSCO in recent years, studying the innovative new technologies related to these projects such as Dynamic Positioning System, which helps the ship stay steady in working position; Bow Loading System, which allow the ship to extract the oil from offshore platform much more efficiently; And Lithium-ion Battery, which enables the ship to reduce carbon emission. The paper will introduce the latest shuttle tankers of COSCO, then talk about the fundamental diagram of those new technologies. After that, the paper will assess their positive effects on offshore platform supply chains with data from its market performance, and propose constructive suggestions for shipbuilding enterprises.
