On March 25, Dalian Shipbuilding, in collaboration with China Shipbuilding Trading, delivered the first vessel of a series of 307,000 dwt VLCCs, the "Jun Wang", to CIDO Shipping. The delivery was completed three months ahead of the contractual schedule, further enhancing the company's core competitiveness in the construction of very large crude carriers.

The "Jun Wang" represents a new-generation VLCC independently developed and designed by Dalian Shipbuilding. With an overall length of approximately 333 meters, a molded width of 60 meters, and a deck area exceeding 18,000 square meters, the vessel features a molded depth of 28 meters, with the distance from the bottom to the bridge equivalent to the height of a nearly 20-story building. The total coating area exceeds 540,000 square meters, equivalent to the area of 76 standard soccer fields. By adopting optimized hull lines and innovative technologies such as a six-cylinder main engine, the vessel significantly improves overall energy efficiency and environmental performance, achieving world-class performance indicators. It also offers excellent adaptability to ports and waterways, with a design draft of 20.5 meters enabling it to transit the Strait of Malacca while carrying over 2 million barrels of crude oil. In line with the design philosophy of "green, environmental protection, and energy efficiency," the vessel is equipped with an exhaust gas scrubber, which is expected to save approximately RMB 35 million in fuel costs annually.

During construction, through the implementation of scientific and efficient lean management, the vessel completed major tests such as lightweight survey, inclining test, and main engine mooring just 51 days after launching. During sea trials, all inspection items were passed on the first attempt, with excellent performance indicators such as speed, maneuverability, and cargo oil system integration. All remaining remarks were closed within just 10 days after the sea trials, enabling a high-quality delivery.
