On the morning of May 18, the 297,000 dead-weight-ton (DWT) VLCC (Very Large Crude Carrier) "Front Queen", which was built by Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding (SWS) for Norway-based shipping company Frontline Limited, was officially named and delivered. To date, SWS has built and delivered a total of 100 ships with gross DWT of nearly 16.5 million.
Today, the Capesize bulk carrier built by SWS has already become an international brand. SWS has received a total of over 110 orders for the 170,000 DWT Capesize bulk cargo carriers, the highest amount of orders in the world.
The world's sixth generation 3000-meter deep-water semi-submersible drilling platform, which is being built by SWS, is China's first independently-designed and built deep-water semi-submersible drilling platform, and the most advanced in the world. It has filled the gap in the development of super-large deep-water drilling equipment in China.
The TI Class of ships are the four largest double-hulled supertankers in the world, and as of 2004 became the largest ocean going ships since the previous largest, the single hulled supertanker Knock Nevis was converted to a permanently moored floating storage and offloading unit (FSO). The class comprises the shipsTI Africa, TI Asia, TI Europe and TI Oceania, where the "TI" refers to the VLCC Tanker Pool operator Tankers International L.L.C. The class were the first ULCCs (Ultra-large crude carrier) to be built for 25 years
