Wuhan-based Qingshan Shipyard, part of Sinotrans Yangtze Shipping Group, has finished building the 57,000 dwt ‘Guangzhou Development 4’, the largest dry bulk carrier ever built in a Yangtze yard. The vessel, 190 metres long, 32.3 metres wide and 18 metres high, was launched on 6 October. With a single deck and single hull, the vessel is designed to sail on the sea rather than on the Yangtze.
