(ECNS) --

The first ship in the series, Huahang Xinneng 1, entered service on Nov. 16, 2023. It became the first all-electric container vessel to operate across both the main channel and tributaries of the Yangtze River in Hubei.

With a top speed of 18 km/h and a range of 175 km, the vessel can carry more than 100 standard containers.

Over more than two years of operation, it has travelled nearly 100,000 km, maintaining a record of zero emissions, zero pollution, and zero carbon output.

Each vessel is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 334 metric tons annually.

She Xiuqi, deputy general manager of Hubei Port Huazhong Port Shipping Logistics Group, said that

Once the full fleet is in service, the vessels will run on high-frequency intercity routes, connecting Wuhan with nearby cities such as Ezhou and Huanggang within Hubei province.

This network aims to establish an efficient and convenient green water transport corridor linking the Han River with the Yangtze.

She added that while diesel-powered ships still dominate China's inland waterways, the growing adoption of electric ships is paving a new path toward greener, more intensive, and commercially viable river shipping.
