This ship is mainly used for sightseeing on the two rivers and four shorelines of Fuzhou (Cangxia WharfJiangxin Park WharfYantai Mountain Wharf). After the ship is put into operation, tourists can experience the cultural charm of the Minjiang River for thousands of years through water and land travel and cultural tours in the three major scenic spots of Shangxiahang, Yantai Mountain, and Jiangxin Park. The “Moli” cruise ship is a demonstration project of the “Electric Fujian” series of policies in Fujian Province. In the early stage of the project, Fuzhou Branch provided professional and efficient technical services to the shipyard, shipowner, and other related parties. During the construction process, Fuzhou Branch helped the shipyard to overcome technical difficulties including welding of steel aluminum transition joints, installation of fireproof bulkhead, and demonstration of reversible mast schemes, etc., effectively guaranteeing the smooth progress of the project. Fuzhou Branch will continue to maintain close contact with relevant parties, and contribute to promoting the development of battery-powered ship industry in the region.
