On November 8, 2024, CHI(Zhoushan) launched N1162, the first project of 63,600 dwt bulk carrier for Odin, on No.1 shipyard. Qin Zhiguo, the manager of SMC, Xu Sheng, the manager of LR newbuilding, Song Hao, project manager, and representatives of the fabrication system and project team attended the ceremony.

Before the water launching, the ship completed the key projects such as shore power supply, monitoring and alarm opening, load test of main/responsive generator, automatic power station test, cabin painting construction, etc., which laid foundation for the quay mooring test.

In addition, the key process of shaft system calibration was advanced from the original quay stage to the ship platform stage, which shortened the shaft system installation cycle by 3 days and  improved the production efficiency.
