CCS-classed Hai Yang Shi You 302 is 132.9 meters long and 22 meters wide and has a draft of 11.8 meters.

The vessel features an electric power system and two type C tanks each with a capacity of some 6,000 cbm, and can work on rivers and seas.

It is part of the strategy for the “gasification of the Yangtze river”.

The vessel will mainly serve international ocean-going vessels and LNG-powered vessels on domestic coastal routes, and undertake LNG transfers along the giant Yangtze river, CIMC SOE previously said.
