It meets Tier III emission requirements and can sail in an infinite navigation area. The cargo hold has two independent tanks that can carry petroleum asphalt (≤200 degrees Celsius) or refined oil with a flash point greater than 60 degrees Celsius. Eight cargo tanks can carry two different goods at the same time. The ship's liquid cargo system is equipped with advanced design, the transfer system is simple and convenient, easy to use and maintain. The pipeline between different goods is separated by double valve, which is safe and equipped with two inverters to control large volume liquid of 600 cubic meters per hour.

Level, the ship's actual ship finally verified that EEDI meets the requirements of IMO Phase 3. The ship's propeller is also equipped with an energy-saving hub cap. The energy-saving device similar to what we call the vortex fins can ensure that the power received by the propeller is reduced by 1 to 3%. In addition, the ship is different from other types of asphalt ships. The tank insulation and insulation uses a degradable, low-bio-sustainable fiber blanket. The single vessel can reduce the weight by about 15 tons, meeting the requirements of green environmental protection and light weight.
