Let’s
give more certain fact about COSCO Guangzhou, because only praises

The engine room is fully equipped with indicators for the whole

offices easy way to do their daily job and produce more accurate
work of the whole engine system. This is giving pretty good power
to the hull to realize the maximum speed of the vessel, which is
24.5 knots. The hull construction and hull design is also increasing
the speed. While building the vessel, the designer had decided to
use some innovated cover of the steel, which reduces the water resistance
