The "Yuanhekou" is a 199.9-meter-long vessel constructed by Guangzhou Shipyard International Co., Ltd. for Guangzhou Yuanhai Automobile Ship Transportation Co., Ltd., with newbuilding survey conducted by the CCS Nansha Office,designed and built to meet the requirements of the China Classification Society (CCS) "Safety Technical Guidelines for Roll-on/Roll-off Transportation of New Energy Vehicles," this ship serves as the crowning achievement following its sister vessels "Yuanhaikou" and "Yuanjiangkou." It has achieved significant breakthroughs in multiple certifications, including safe roll-on/roll-off transportation, green energy applications, digital survey, and digital delivery.

In terms of safe roll-on/roll-off (Ro-Ro) transportation, the vessel has been awarded two prestigious additional certifications: "New Energy Vehicle Carriage" [NEV Carriage (B, H, N)] and "Enhanced Fire Safety for Lithium Battery Electric Vehicles" [BPV-EFS (M, F, C)]. These certifications signify that the ship's configuration not only ensures safe transportation of various new energy vehicles, including lithium battery electric vehicles, hydrogen vehicles, and natural gas vehicles, but also demonstrates exceptional capabilities in fire detection, suppression, control, and containment.

In green energy applications, the vessel has been awarded two additional certifications: 'Natural Gas Fuel' and 'Solar Photovoltaic System' (SPV). These certifications signify its capability to safely utilize both natural gas and solar energy as clean power sources, establishing it as an industry benchmark for next-generation large-scale cargo carriers.

During shipbuilding, CCS leverages blockchain technology to collaborate closely with Guangzhou Yuanhai Automobile Ship Transportation Co., Ltd. and Guangzhou Shipyard International Co., Ltd. By implementing the CCS Shipbuilding Block Chain Platform (CSBC), the three parties can now complete the entire external survey process online. This initiative effectively utilizes digital survey methods, significantly boosting ship survey efficiency. The vessel complies with CCS '"Digital Ship Delivery Guidelines" and has been awarded the "Digital Delivery" (HD, ED) additional mark. This establishes a digital delivery channel between shipbuilding and operational management, thereby providing a data foundation for the vessel's full lifecycle digital management.

The successful delivery of this vessel demonstrates CCS's significant achievements in three key areas: safe utilization of clean energy on ships, secure roll-on/roll-off transportation of new energy vehicles, and digital survey systems. These accomplishments have established a comprehensive technical standard system, providing authoritative technical guidance for the industry.
