Henan welcomes its first 1,000-ton new energy intelligent cargo ship

河南省迎来第一艘千吨级新能源智能货船

At 9:52 p.m. on March 30, a crisp whistle broke the night silence of the Shaying River. Amid eager anticipation, Henan's first 1,000-ton-class new energy intelligent cargo ship, "Yujiaotou 001" (Yujiaotou is an abbreviation for Henan Transport Investment Group), slowly sailed into the province's waters, marking a significant step toward greener and smarter inland shipping in Henan.

3月30日晚9点52分，一声清脆响亮的汽笛，骤然打破了沙颍河夜空的宁静。在众人的期待中，河南省首艘千吨级新能源智能货船“豫交投001”号，缓缓驶入河南境内，这标志着河南省内河航运向绿色化、智能化迈出关键一步。

What's the story behind "Yujiaotou 001"? It is the result of relentless efforts and innovation by Henan Transport Investment Group's Port & Shipping Co., Ltd., in collaboration with Academician Yan Xinping's team from Wuhan University of Technology, as well as leading enterprises and research institutions in the shipping industry. After years of dedicated research and hard efforts, this vessel stands as a testament to their collective expertise and commitment.

“豫交投001”号是什么来头？它是河南交投港航有限公司联合武汉理工大学严新平院士团队及多家航运头部企业和科研机构，历经艰辛的钻研与拼搏，共同孕育出的“智慧结晶”。

Being the flagship vessel of the research project Development and Demonstration of Intelligent and Green Shipping Equipment for the Shaying River Waterway in Henan Province, the successful launch of "Yujiaotou 001" in Henan marks the beginning of a new era for the province's inland shipping—one that is greener and smarter. It also brings innovative momentum to the transportation industry's transition toward sustainability and low-carbon development.

作为科研项目《河南省沙颍河航道智能绿色航运装备研发与管控模式示范应用》的核心载体，“豫交投001”号的成功入豫，标志着河南省内河航运正式踏入绿色化、智能化的崭新时代，也为探索交通运输行业的绿色低碳转型注入了“智慧基因”。

"On March 19, 'Yujiaotou 001' set sail from Hangzhou and, after an 11-day journey, successfully completed autonomous navigation tests along the Qiantang River, Yangtze River, Hongze Lake, Huaihe River, and Shaying River. It is now docked at the Shenqiu operation area of Zhoukou Port for equipment debugging," said a technician from the Port & Shipping Co., Ltd.

“3月19日，‘豫交投001’号从杭州启航，历经11天的航程，已在钱塘江、长江、洪泽湖、淮河和沙颍河上顺利完成了自主航行功能测试，现在正停靠在周口港沈丘作业区进行设备调试。”河南交投港航有限公司技术人员介绍。（中文来源/河南日报 记者/方化祎 郭北晨 编译/杨佳欣 审校/焦丹 赵汉青）
