Special technology of the world's largest super car carrier

The giant ship has left Shanghai port on its maiden voyage to Europe, marking a new step in the country's strategy to expand auto exports and control the global logistics chain.

At 228 meters long and nearly 38 meters wide, the Anji Ansheng super car carrier has a record capacity of up to 9,500 cars, surpassing the 9,200 cars previously set by BYD Shenzhen , the ship dubbed BYD's "sea monster" when it debuted just a few weeks earlier.

The consecutive launch of two super ships in a short period of time shows the breakthrough speed and ambition to dominate the market comprehensively of Chinese car manufacturers, not only in the manufacturing sector but also in specialized maritime transport.

The remarkable point of Anji Ansheng is not only its impressive size but also its environmentally friendly technology. The ship is equipped with a propulsion system using LNG fuel combined with marine oil, accompanied by exhaust gas recycling technology, a friction-reducing hull coating and intelligent operating controls.

This fits into the green shipping trend, which significantly reduces carbon emissions and increases energy efficiency as the global maritime industry is under pressure to cut emissions.

In terms of long-term strategy, SAIC plans to continue expanding its Ro-Ro (Roll-on/Roll-off) fleet to be more proactive in exporting cars to key markets such as Europe, South America and Southeast Asia.

Analysts say that owning your own logistics infrastructure not only helps reduce transportation costs, but also creates a significant competitive advantage in the context of global supply chains facing many fluctuations.

Earlier, in late April, BYD also put into operation the BYD Shenzhen ship, carrying more than 7,000 electric vehicles to Brazil on its maiden voyage. However, just a few weeks later, the leading position in terms of scale was ceded to Anji Ansheng , creating an interesting race in the maritime industry among China's leading car manufacturers.

The continuous launch of large-scale transport ships by Chinese car corporations is not simply an expansion of logistics capacity. It is also a statement that they are gradually controlling the entire value chain from production to global distribution, something that has previously been the strength of Western corporations.

No longer just the “ world’s factory”, China is gradually reshaping the way the global auto industry operates, where a car appearing in Europe not only bears the label “Made in China”, but is also carried by a ship built and operated by China itself.
