On May 16, 2022, the first vessel of the world biggest LNG powered,5,800 LM series MegaRoRo built by CIMC Raffles for Swedish shipping giant Wallenius SOL left the port and was successfully accepted and delivered on May 13.

This vessel series are characterized as a length of 241.7 meters, a width of 35.2 meters, a lane of 5800 meters and a speed of 20 knots. It is equipped with two 685 cubic C-type LNG storage tanks and equipped with an efficient LNG dual fuel propulsion system, which can provide clean energy for navigation, significantly reducing carbon dioxide and other emissions. The series are more environmentally friendly and flexible. The trial voyage of fuel mode and gas mode has been completed in April, and all performance tests have reached the standard or even exceeded the expectation. After delivery, it will operate in European waters and can drive normally in harsh waters with ice thickness of more than 1m.

This project is the exploration and attempt of CIMC Raffles to enter the international RORO market. The design and construction teams have withstood various challenges from the product itself and the external environment. The whole construction process of the project has undergone the serious epidemic period, bearing relevant impacts and huge challenges, but still overcame difficulties and has achieved final successful delivery.

LNG is currently the preferred fuel for low-carbon emission reduction in the shipping industry. Under the national "double carbon" goal, CIMC Raffles actively promotes the low-carbon, clean and green development of shipping, creating more value for relevant parties, and jointly contributes to global low emission and green shipping.
