CHI(Zhoushan) formally delivered the 63,600 DWT bulk
carrier "YASA STAR" to YASA Shipping on March 14, 2025, through a
remote signing ceremony attended by key representatives from YASA Management
and CHI(Zhoushan). As the third vessel in the series, it follows the
operational success of its predecessors currently achieving 99% voyage
reliability in commercial service. The vessel completed sea trials on
March 1, demonstrating full functionality of its hydraulic hatch systems, shore
power connectivity, and automated power management. During construction, the
project team implemented lean manufacturing protocols and automated assembly
processes, achieving 15% faster block erection compared to earlier hulls. This delivery concludes the initial
three-vessel contract, with technical solutions developed during the series now
being applied to five additional bulk carriers under construction at
CHI(Zhoushan).
