Inland Container Ship

An inland container vessel is a standardized container transport ship designed for inland waterway conditions, adapted to navigate shallow waters and narrow channels of inland rivers. It takes containers as the core loading unit to realize efficient loading, unloading and transfer of goods. It features shallow draft, small tonnage and high flexibility, is compatible with small loading and unloading equipment at inland ports, and can seamlessly connect with highway and railway freight networks to build a "door-to-door" inland multimodal transport system.

Applications

• Inland Trunk Line Transport: Suitable for major domestic inland trunks such as the Yangtze River, Pearl River and Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, undertaking container transshipment and distribution between coastal ports and inland hinterlands.
• Regional Short-Distance Distribution: Serving urban agglomerations and industrial parks along inland rivers, completing short-distance allocation of containerized goods to meet the immediate transportation needs of manufacturing and commerce industries.
• Multimodal Transport Connection: As a supplement and extension of highway and railway freight, it realizes seamless transfer of containers between ports, logistics parks and factories, reducing comprehensive logistics costs.

Key Configurations

• Shallow Draft Hull: Adopting optimized flat bottom design, the draft depth is usually controlled at 1.5–3.5 meters, suitable for inland shoal waterways.
• Lightweight Structure: The hull is made of high-strength aluminum alloy or low-carbon steel materials, reducing dead weight and improving load efficiency on the premise of ensuring structural strength.
• Methanol Power Unit: Equipped with a dedicated methanol engine, methanol storage tank, supply system and exhaust gas treatment device to achieve clean combustion, reducing carbon emissions by more than 30% compared with traditional diesel power.
