“The debut of the lead ship of Crown63 series indicates another milestone achievement of Sinopacific's strategic practice of focusing on niche markets and areas with high entrance level and technology barrier,” said Simon Liang, chairman and ceo of Sinopacific.
Liang also revealed that the company has recently entered into a cooperation with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to jointly design a 82,000 dwt kamsarmax bulk carrier.
Zhao Ye, chief technology officer of Sinopacific, said that despite the decline of the world shipping market, new ships with improved fuel efficiency will continue to be welcomed by shipowners regardless of market conditions.
