近日，大连船舶重工集团承建的8,500立方米液化天然气加注船“新奥普陀”号在集团下属海洋工程有限公司码头顺利交付。该船是国内建造的首艘满足中国船级社（CCS）《液化天然气燃料加注船舶规范》的船舶，由中船重工船舶设计研究中心（CSDC）设计，配备了1台双燃料发动机。2018年，大船集团与中国最大的液化天然气分销商新奥能源签订了该船的建造合同。交付后，该船将由天津西南海运负责管理运营，依托新奥舟山液化天然气接收及加注站，为大型远洋LNG动力船舶和LNG运输船提供燃料加注服务和气试服务。

LNG bunker vessel Xin Ao Pu Tuo Hao, built by Dalian Shipbuilding Industry, was delivered in Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Offshore Base on Friday, 16 September, which is the first domestic newbuilding LNG bunker vessel that is classed by the China Classification Society (CCS) in line with the Rules for Liquefied Natural Gas Bunkering Vessel. The ship is designed by China Ship Design & Research Center and equipped with a single propeller and a dual-fuel main engine. As early as 2018, ENN Energy Holdings, one of the largest LNG users in China, signed a contract to operate the 8500 cbm LNG bunkering vessel by Tianjin Southwest Maritime Limited. The vessel is intended to provide LNG bunkering services in the coastal region of Eastern China. It is able to bunker large ocean-going vessels including container carriers, bulkers, and LNG-powered cruise vessels. The new vessel is planned to be based at the ENN Zhoushan LNG receiving & bunkering terminal. In addition to providing bunkering supply operations, it will also carry out gas testing services for LNG carriers and other LNG fuelled vessels.

近日，苏伊士运河管理局（SCA）发表声明宣布，将上调苏伊士运河的船舶过境通行费。自明年一月起，邮轮、干散货船的通行费将上调10%，其余类型的船舶则上调15%。能源价格、运费以及日租船费等的不断上涨，是促使SCA上调通行费的主要原因。此外，SCA还表示，全球新一轮的通货膨胀导致了其运营成本和导航服务成本增加，SCA将建立透明的机制来应对航运市场的各种变化，如调整通行费等。与其他航线相比，苏伊士航线仍是最高效、成本最低的。

CAIRO -- The Suez Canal's transit tolls will increase by 15 percent for all types of vessels and 10 percent for dry bulk and cruise ships starting next year, the Suez Canal Authority (SCA) announced in a statement. Rising energy prices, freight rates, and daily charter rates for ships are the main reason. And current global inflation translates into increased operational costs and the costs of the navigational services provided in the canal. The SCA adjusted the tolls through clear mechanisms incorporating the changes in the maritime transport market. The canal remains the most efficient and least costly route compared to alternative routes.
