On September 5th, Qingdao Beihai Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. of China Shipbuilding Group, together with China Shipbuilding Industry Trade Co., Ltd. and Singapore's Eastern Pacific Shipping (EPS), held a signing ceremony in Singapore for the 3+3 210000-ton Ammonia DF (dual fuel) / DF Ready bulk carrier construction project, marking the first cooperation between Beihai Shipbuilding and EPS. The order will be the world's first dual-fuel ammonia-powered bulk carrier. Each ship is estimated to cost nearly 80 million US dollars, and the total transaction amount will reach 480 million US dollars (about 3.5 billion yuan) after the confirmation of the optional order is effective. It is expected that the first ship will be delivered in the middle of 2026.

[SMM PV News] At an altitude of 4,700 meters! The largest PV project in the middle and lower reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River in Tibet has been completed.
Recently, the 850 MW Phase I of the Luobusha PV project in Qusum County, Tibet, constructed by PowerChina, successfully passed completion acceptance, providing important support for easing regional power supply-demand tensions and strengthening the plateau energy supply barrier. The Luobusha PV project in Qusum County, Tibet, covers an area of approximately 4,289.59 mu, with a total installed capacity of 850 MW. It is the first batch of key commercial PV projects at the Yazhong Clean Energy Base in Tibet and the largest PV clean power generation project in the middle and lower reaches of the Yajiang River. The project is developed in four phases, with Phase I at 200 MW and an average elevation of 4,700 meters. Chengdu Engineering Corporation under PowerChina undertook the construction of the 220 kV booster station, 50 MW PV area, 20.74 km transmission line, and expansion of the opposite-side substation; Sinohydro Bureau 9 undertook the construction of the 150 MW PV field area, installing a total of 348,000 PV modules, along with 64 box-type transformers and 704 inverters.
