COSCO Shipping vessel successfully passes through new Bohai Sea deep-water channel
As the world’s largest ultra-large dry bulk vessel, m/v Yuan Jin Hai is one of the vessels tailor-made by COSCO Shipping Bulk to transport iron ore for its customers. For years, due to the limitation of the Bohai Bay shipping route, it has been a big challenge for 400 000 TEU ultra-large vessels to realise the full-load direct call to Caofeidian Port.
To enable the vessels to enter and exit Bohai Bay safely with a full load, COSCO Shipping Bulk thoroughly investigated the hydro-meteorological conditions, navigation control and pilotage berthing in collaboration with the local maritime bureau, the port and pilot stations. By making early arrangements through onshore-offshore cooperation, the company finally managed to identify a new route with a water depth that could meet the safe navigation requirement of 400 000 TEU ships with a full load, thus making the berthing of m/v Yuan Jin Hai possible.
