The newbuild also boasts intelligent operating and energy-saving systems to ensure compliance with EU Stage III emissions standards.

Power for the ship is provided by two 375kW (503hp) main diesel engines driving ABB electric motors, which in turn drive a nozzle-housed, controllable-pitch propeller. A 250kW bow thruster provides additional lateral manoeuvrability when navigating in port and berthing/unberthing.

The onboard systems draw electrical power from three 400kW generators. The ship’s total fuel capacity is 172.62 cubic metres (37,971 gallons) while a separate tank can hold up to 22 cubic metres (4,800 gallons) of freshwater.

The United States and China together generate over 42% of global GDP. This makes them anchors of global supply chains that stand disrupted by the geopolitics of protracted conflicts in Europe and the Middle East. These have unleashed volatility in global commodity markets threatening life and livelihoods around the world.

But the Trump-Xi summit is not going to aspire for any utopian end of their rivalry. At best, the two may acknowledge to each other that their rivalry has become structural and must now be managed from both the sides.
