The high-pressure reactors on board are extraordinary, each measuring 44.18 meters long, with a volume exceeding 3,039 cubic meters and a weight of 1,141 metric tons. The vessel carried two units in a single shipment, with the total cargo value surpassing 185 million yuan ($25.35 million). To ensure the safe transport of such high-value and large-scale equipment, the Zhangjiagang Maritime Safety Administration developed a customized support strategy.
Boasting lower costs, higher efficiency, and eco-friendly features, the equipment is expected to drive technological innovation in Indonesia's metallurgical industry, enhance resource utilization, and promote sustainable economic development.
