On 21st of June, a piece of good news came from the Shipping Out Quay of SLO that the first built 4,200 DWT Fueling Ship -H1258 was launched successfully. At 3 o'clock in the morning, the working group for floating and launching got ready. After directly received working know-how and safety publicity by headquarters, the checking cargo team got onboard. The implementation of checking cargo included twice checking as required. The first checking was carried out when the waterline was just below the water in floating dock, and the second one was carried out while the water reached 2 meters above the waterline before dock floating. There was no any leaking after the twice checking, then the floating dock sank to the standard water level and the tug boats approached the Fueling ship for line handling. After two hours efforts, at 7:00 a.m., H1258 was eventually launched. The construction of another Fueling Ship--H1259 is in full swing, which will be launched at the end of August.
