A 12,000-cubic-meter liquefied natural gas (LNG) transport and refueling vessel was put into service in Qidong City, east China's Jiangsu Province, on Sunday.
The vessel is able to sail on both rivers and sea.
With a length of 132.9 meters and a deck bigger than the size of a standard football pitch, the huge vessel can meet the needs for natural gas of 480,000 households for a month.
The vessel boasts two tanks with a height of more than 20 meters.
The mast of the vessel can be folded when encountering bridges along the Yangtze river, enabling it to cruise in the river and at sea.
The vessel will enhance the service capacity and competitiveness of ports in China, according to the staff members on board.
They say the vessel can replenish natural gas for a large number of foreign cargo ships and merchant ships in China more conveniently and also helps the green development of the world shipping industry.

Beijing's Chaoyang District, one of China's first national-level export bases of human resources services, on Saturday rolled out a package of 20 new measures to help human resources service and trade institutions with their inbound and outbound service operations.
The institutions that have introduced high-quality foreign human resources will be awarded up to 10 million yuan (about 1.4 million U.S. dollars), according to the Beijing Human Resources and Social Security Bureau.
Focusing on six aspects, including strengthening standardization and institutionalization of the export base and guiding human resources service and trade institutions to explore overseas markets, the 20 specific measures aim to present characteristic financial products in the human resources service and trade industry, provide members of the export alliance with services covering corporate credit, small currency foreign exchange collection and cross-border foreign exchange payment, and help enterprises break through financial, foreign exchange, investment and financing bottlenecks, in efforts to promote their international operation capacity.
"The measures are mainly intended to provide services for human resources institutions to go global and meet the needs of local enterprises and enterprises that have operations in overseas markets. For example, we have integrated our lawyering resources to offer legal support. Besides, we've also launched characteristic financial products tailored to the needs of the human resources institutions, so that they can get more convenient financial support," said Bi Zhongwei, director of the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau of Chaoyang District.
