2025年9月22日，南通象屿船厂阳光明媚，彩旗猎猎，现场气氛热烈。泛洲船务有限公司新型55000吨重大件运输船——泛洲7号，在此举行了隆重的吉水仪式。作为泛洲8号的姊妹船，这艘专为运输超大型设备设计的甲板船正式下水，标志着我司在“超级运输”时代即将再添利器。

上午11时18分，吉时已到，鞭炮声响彻江岸。随着一声巨响，船头的固定钢丝绳切断，100余根气囊承托着泛洲7号缓缓滚动起来，在万众瞩目中轻松滑入长江，激起雪白的浪花。

该船拥有与泛洲8号相同的55000吨载重量，船总长256米，型宽51米，续航能力16000海里，航速超过15节，配备冗余推进和双舵系统，可以满足大型风电单桩/导管架以及大型石油天然气炼化模块的运输。两船协同运营后，年运力将大幅提升，为欧洲深海海洋石油服务及“一带一路”沿线国家的基建项目提供可靠的运输保障。

吉水仪式尾声，遥看泛洲7号崭新的船身在阳光下熠熠生辉，这艘凝聚现代造船工艺与传统祝福的巨轮，正承载着中国制造的力量，驶向更广阔的海洋。

Fanzhou 7: New Heavy-Lift Vessel Launched

On September 22, 2025, Fanzhou Shipping successfully launched the Fanzhou 7, a 55,000DWT heavy-lift transport vessel, during a ceremony held at Nantong Xiangyu Shipyard. As a sister vessel to the Fanzhou 8, this new deck carrier is specifically engineered for oversized cargo and underscores Fanzhou’s strengthened capabilities in the "super transport" segment.

The vessel shares key specifications with the Fanzhou 8, including a 55,000DWT, length of 256 meters, width of 51 meters, and a cruising range of 16,000 nautical miles. With a service speed exceeding 15 knots, along with redundant propulsion and dual-rudder systems, the Fanzhou 7 is designed to safely transport large-scale equipment such as wind turbine monopiles/jackets and oil & gas refinery modules. 

The addition of the Fanzhou 7 is expected to significantly increase annual transport capacity when operating in tandem with the Fanzhou 8. This expansion will enhance support for deep-sea oil operations in Europe and infrastructure logistics under the Belt and Road Initiative.
