Wow! A big celebration just happened in Tianjin, a city on the Chinese mainland. They have leased their 1,000th ship from the Dongjiang Free Trade Port Zone (DFTP)! 🎉
Imagine 1,000 giant ships! That’s like a huge parade of ships sailing across the ocean. The DFTP is a special place where companies can lease ships. Leasing means borrowing something for a while, kind of like lending your favorite game to a friend but on a much bigger scale!
The 1,000th ship is extra special. It’s a floating liquefied natural gas facility built in Singapore. It cost nearly $1.8 billion! That’s a lot of zeros! 💰
A DFTP official named Shi Jinfeng said this is a huge milestone. It’s the biggest cross-border leasing project they’ve ever done, both in how much money is involved and how many people are part of it.
The DFTP is super important because it handles over 90% of the Chinese mainland’s cross-border leasing of ships and offshore engineering equipment. That means they help connect ships from all around the world!
Isn’t it exciting to see how places like Tianjin are making waves in the world of ships and leasing? Maybe one day, you’ll sail on a ship that’s part of this amazing achievement! ⛵️
