The first domestic large-scale cruise ship ＂Ada Modu＂ started a new voyage of completion verification.

　　Xinhua News Agency, Shanghai, September 7th (Reporter Jia Yuankun) On September 7th, the first domestic large-scale cruise ship "Aida Modu" slowly left Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding Terminal 4 under the tug, and started a new voyage of completion verification. This is the first trial successfully completed on July 24th. After a lapse of 45 days, we set sail again and fully implemented the final trial plan, which is also the last trial before delivery.

　　The completed sea trial will test and inspect more than 90 sea trial items of 31 debugging procedures, including regional vibration and noise test, waste gas washing, desulfurization, general broadcast alarm sound pressure, etc., and will focus on diesel-heavy oil conversion, testing speed and durability tests under heavy oil conditions, unmanned engine room and other projects.

　　In order to ensure the success of the trial, Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. specially set up a trial completion working group, with Chen Gang, the general manager and chief designer of the large-scale cruise project as the chief commander, and a maritime command center and a shore-based support center. The two centers have a navigation test group, a logistics support group and 13 professional groups, each of which performs its own duties to form a joint force and solidly promote the various tasks of the trial completion. More than 1,300 ship owners, ship inspectors, contractors, service providers and Waigaoqiao shipbuilding engineers and technicians participated in the completion trial.

　　Chen Gang introduced that the first trial was mainly to preliminarily verify the functions of the system, and to test the related overall performance, vibration and noise indicators, etc. The completed trial will comprehensively verify the navigation system, propulsion system, power station management system, fire alarm system and broadcasting system of the whole ship, as well as the functions of the automated smart grid, vibration and noise, and safe return to Hong Kong.

　　Large-scale cruise ships, together with large-scale LNG carriers and aircraft carriers, are called the "three pearls in the crown" of shipbuilding industry. It is extremely difficult to design and build, and it is a landmark project that reflects a country’s industrial strength and scientific and technological level. The trial verification of the first domestic large-scale cruise ship "Aida Modu" is advanced as scheduled, and it is planned to be named and delivered at the end of this year. China’s shipbuilding industry will soon officially gather these "three pearls", and the high-quality development level of shipbuilding industry will be further improved.
