中国于周日在江苏省南通市一家船厂交付首艘国产设计18万立方米液化天然气（LNG）运输船‘凯尔萨斯·乔治城’号，标志着其高端船舶建造能力迈出重要一步。该船已驶往新加坡。
‘凯尔萨斯·乔治城’号由中船重工海门基地建造，长298.8米，宽48米，配备双燃料低速推进系统。该船设计用于运输温度低至零下163摄氏度的LNG，是中国迄今为止完工的载货量最大的LNG运输船。
该船交付标志着中国高端清洁能源船舶建造领域取得重大突破。LNG运输船因设计和建造要求复杂，被视为船舶工业的“皇冠上的明珠”，与航母和豪华邮轮并列。
随着该船交付，中国现拥有五家能够建造和交付LNG运输船的船厂，其整体建造能力位居世界领先水平。
