Officials from the Norwegian Embassy in Beijing and the Norwegian Consulate General in Shanghai attended the signing ceremony of the shipbuilding contract for “The World First Pure LNG Propulsion Multipurpose Vessel,” as it was called by the Chinese firm.
In addition, Tsuji signed a contract with Rolls-Royce, which worked in close collaboration with Norlines to develop the project that won “The Next Generation Ship Award” at Nor-shipping 2011.
The agreement follows the Norwegian government’s maritime policy that has tried to increase sea transportation and improve environmental quality.
The undertaking of this initiative will enhance the shipbuilding capabilities of Tsuji as well as the introduction of new technologies in China.
