The largest all-electric cargo ship, Gezhouba, has been launched in China. The vessel is equipped with an intelligent control system and will become a symbol of a new generation of ecological shipping.

In China, the world's largest all-electric cargo ship called Gezhouba has been launched. The ceremony took place in Yichang, Hubei Province. The event marked an important milestone in the development of environmentally friendly and intelligent shipping, Xinhua news Agency reported.

The vessel has a length of almost 130 meters and is capable of carrying more than 13 thousand tons of cargo. The ship is powered by 12 lithium batteries with a total capacity of 24,000 kWh, which allows it to travel up to 500 kilometers on a single charge.

The main feature of the cargo ship is the built-in intelligent control system, which supports remote navigation and automatic mooring. Due to this, the vessel is able to operate in a semi-autonomous control mode, increasing the safety and efficiency of transportation.

Experts estimate that the new cargo ship will save about 617 tons of fuel per year and reduce CO₂ emissions by tens of thousands of tons, making it one of the most environmentally friendly developments in the global shipping industry.

According to Yan Xinping, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, the Gezhouba project combines the latest technologies in the field of energy storage, distributed power sources and ship design, going beyond individual innovations and creating an entire technological ecosystem.

Other BRICS countries are also showing interest in electric water transport. Passenger electric vessels are actively developing in Russia, which already run along the Moskva River - by 2026 their number will reach 39 units, and by 2030 — 60. In the UAE, as reported by Emirates News Agency, electric tugboats and hydrofoils are already being used, confirming the global transition to clean technologies.

A detailed list of product types has been published for which the marketplace can request documents during placement. The table shows where a rejection letter or a voluntary certificate is sufficient, and where a declaration, certificate of conformity, or certificate of state registration is required. For sellers and importers, this is a quick way to estimate the launch dates of the card in advance and not lose the season due to “unexpected” moderation.

China on pause: 2 calculators that will quickly show the real cost and margin in white logistics

Holidays in China are a rare moment when you can stop the race for shipments and focus on the main thing: the supply economy. Instead of "roughly calculate" — the exact figures for the white contract, payment via r/s, taxes and the actual cost of the route China → Russia. Two calculators help you make a quick decision: to take or not to take, whether there is a margin and where it is lost.

Self-purchases are often served as a universal accelerator: raise the card, block the negative, gain a foothold in the TOP and not lower the price. But in 2026, marketplace algorithms have become tougher to artificial signals, and the economy has become more sensitive to DDR, returns, and ratings. We analyze in which scenarios self-purchases can really have a short-term effect, and where they turn into an expensive illusion of growth and make it difficult to see real demand.

After the December update of Ozon tariffs, logistics began to significantly affect margins more strongly, and SVD began to turn into a factor that can “add up” costs through a coefficient and a percentage of the product price. Starting from January 20, 2026, the marketplace will also split up the Caucasus and Kazakhstan clusters, which will force sellers to recalculate inventory allocation and supply strategy.
