ZPMC has completed the keel laying for two 38,000 DWT multipurpose heavy lift vessels, Hull No. 3 and No. 4, marking an important milestone as the project enters its next phase.

Each vessel will be equipped with three 350-tonne cranes developed in-house by ZPMC, delivering a combined lifting capacity of up to 700 tonnes. Built for versatility, the ships will feature a fully open deck, two extra-long cargo holds measuring up to 76.8 m, and adjustable space between decks.

The vessels are intended for transporting heavy and oversized cargo around the world. They also incorporate green design principles and a hybrid power system designed to balance performance with environmental responsibility while reducing fuel consumption and emissions.
