A new-generation liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier named Tianshan is set to be delivered later this month, marking another milestone for China's high-end shipbuilding sector.

The vessel is being built at the Hudong-Zhonghua Shipyard in Shanghai, east China, where construction is progressing steadily ahead of the scheduled delivery by the end of the month.

With a cargo capacity of 174,000 cubic meters, the ship measures 295 meters in length and 45 meters in width, with a deck area equivalent to three standard football fields.

Designed to transport liquefied natural gas at ultra-low temperatures, a single voyage can supply enough gas to meet the monthly needs of about 3.3 million households.
