May 12, 2026，the headquarters building of Zhangjiagang FURUI GROUP was filled with a warm atmosphere and distinguished guests. FURUI CIT (Zhangjigang Furui Cryogenic Co., Ltd ,a subsidiary of FURUI GROUP ) and RINA (RINA ITALY CLASSIFICATION SOCIETY (CHINA) CO., LTD) officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), marking the official start of in-depth cooperation between the two parties in the field of luxury cruise LNG fuel tank technology innovation and certification services, injecting new vitality into the development of the global green shipping industry.
Mr. Huang Feng, Chairman of FURUI GROUP, and Mr.Fan Dehong, Director of Maritime Operations for Greater China and Vietnam at RINA, attended the signing ceremony, signed on behalf of both parties, and jointly witnessed this important moment promoting industry upgrading.
Currently, the global luxury cruise market is continuously booming, and green and low-carbon transformation has become the core theme of industry development. Clean energy luxury cruise ships have quickly become the mainstream ship type in the market. With the continuous rise in market demand, the demand for LNG fuel tanks for luxury cruise ships has also achieved rapid growth. However, the traditional LNG fuel tank construction process is cumbersome and the certification cycle is long, which has become a key bottleneck restricting the high-quality development of the industry. Technical innovation and service upgrading are urgently needed to break the predicament.
As a leading enterprise deeply engaged in the low-temperature equipment field, FURUI CIT holds a leading position in the high-end luxury cruise LNG fuel tank market with solid technical accumulation and rich practical experience. Previously, as the exclusive manufacturer of all four sets of fuel tanks for the MSC Explora luxury cruise series, FURUI CIT successfully completed the project delivery, consolidating its leading advantage in the industry with strength. After long-term experience accumulation and technical exploration, FURUI CIT has summed up a set of new production processes. On the basis of strictly ensuring the stability of product quality, it has greatly improved production efficiency, effectively solved the pain points of the traditional construction mode, and provided a feasible path for industry technical upgrading. At the same time, as a national-level "Little Giant" enterprise specializing in precision and special fields, FURUI CIT has a complete full-industry-chain solution capability, and its products have served the clean energy application practices in more than 50 countries around the world.
Founded in 1861, RINA is a world-leading classification society and a founding member of the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS). With more than 160 years of development, it has transformed into a global technology service group covering maritime, energy and other fields, with unique advantages in green shipping and intelligent ships. It has rich experience in the luxury cruise field, having deeply participated in the certification and technical support of many high-end cruise projects such as the MSC Explora series and the Carnival Excel class. It is committed to providing one-stop technical support and certification services for end users, and has a pivotal position in industry standard formulation and technical leadership.
The signing of this MOU between the two parties is an important measure for complementary advantages and coordinated development. According to the cooperation agreement, both parties will focus on luxury cruise LNG fuel tank technology innovation and certification services, and give full play to their core advantages: combining FURUI CIT's advanced production processes and product R&D capabilities with RINA's professional certification capabilities and industry resources, it will not only provide end users with more forward-looking and efficient technical services and product solutions, but also jointly sort out industry standards, optimize construction and certification processes, set a new benchmark for the industry, and lead the standardized and efficient development of the luxury cruise LNG fuel tank field.
Representatives of both signing parties stated that in the future, taking this cooperation as an opportunity, they will deepen technical R&D and service coordination, work together to solve industry development bottlenecks, promote the continuous iteration and upgrading of luxury cruise LNG fuel tank technology, help the global shipping industry achieve green and low-carbon transformation, and jointly build a new clean energy shipping ecosystem.
The future is promising. The strong alliance will surely burst out stronger synergy. FURUI CIT and RINA will take technological innovation as the guide and high-quality services as the support to jointly write a new chapter in the field of clean energy for luxury cruise ships!
