The ZHONGHUA FUXING ropax has a Length overall 212 meters, Breadth moulded 28.6 meters, Depth moulded 15.3 meters, Gross tonnage 45,000 tons, Quota 2,000 passengers, Lane length 3,000 meters and maximum endurance 5,000 nautical miles. The ship has high technical, luxurious cabins and complete equipment. It is mainly used for domestic passengers, cars, trucks and container trailers to meet the latest international rules in terms of safety, noise and vibration. It has been put into operation on the Bohai Bay line between Yantai and Dalian, and has become the max passenger capacity and most luxurious ropax in Asia.

vessel was successfully sea trial in early October. This is the first time for DATUM Torsion System with Thrust Measuring applied in Chinese domestic shipowners!

Our company is the supplier of shaft power system for the intelligent energy efficiency management of this ship. This system is the first to apply the power and thrust measurement function of the shafting system in Chinese vessel, which provides powerful technical support for ship energy efficiency management.

Different from the design of other shaft power systems, the shaft power system designed by DATUM （UK） which agented by our company uses one set component for measurement, such as speed, torque and shaft power to gather data, another set is standby. The two components ensure the stability and reliability of the system in the future, and also ensure the extension of the system's service life, reducing the maintenance cost and time cost for the customer.

The ship's thrust measurement can monitor the efficiency of the propulsion system in real time. Thrust / Power = f (Prop efficiency), allowing customers to intuitively understand the propulsion power of the propeller, as well as to help customers create a performance model that combines the power/thrust recorded at different speeds and combines corresponding marine parameters such as wind speed, wind direction, sea state, etc. Based on technical basis, to evaluate propeller efficiency and hull resistance conditions.

DATUM (UK) marine shaft power meters have installed more than 500 vessels worldwide, and now this ship's shaft thrust measurement installed has opened a new chapter in the monitoring of shafting system in domestic ships, which will help the customers to escort and has been unanimously recognized and praised by the shipyards and the shipowners.
