Chinese state-owned China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) unveiled a home-grown floating production storage and offloading vessel, known as an FPSO, with the deepest working depth, at 420 meters underwater, on Friday.

CNOOC said the vessel will help boost oil and gas exploration in the South China Sea.

The 256-meter-long vessel, Hai Yang Shi You 119, is a start-of-art oil and gas exploration and extraction platform and the newest to join CNOOC's FPSO fleet, now reaching 17 units and has a world-leading total tonnage.

The FPSO, delivered at the Qingdao Port in East China's Shandong Province after 22 months of construction, will serve at the Liuhua 16-2 offshore oil field in the South China Sea.

Dubbed as a seaborne oil and gas process plant, FPSO handles the extraction, storage and output of oil and gas and is self-propelled. It is considered the crown jewel of marine engineering.

The Hai Yang Shi You 119 can handle 21,000 cubic meters of crude oil and 540,000 cubic meters of natural gas per day and can withstand typhoons.

CNOOC said the specialist vessel can be deployed under rough sea conditions in the South China Sea for a long time due to its advanced single point mooring system, the company said, adding there were only four such systems globally.

Wang Dongjin, chairman of CNOOC, said the company will make South China Sea the "main battleground" for future oil and gas exploration and promote its seven-year action plan to boost production.

As of the end of 2018, CNOOC had two large 10-million-ton oil and gas projects in the South China Sea, with their combined output accounting for one third of the company's total.

China offers vessels stronger "heart" with technologically advanced engine

BEIJING, May 26 (Xinhua) -- The China State Shipbuilding Corporation Limited (CSSC) on Tuesday released the dual-fuel, low-speed engine WinGD X92DF, the world's biggest of its kind for modern, large and ultra-large container vessels.

Marking the shipbuilding industrial chain's continued improvement, it will enable Chinese vessels to have a stronger "heart", the CSSC said.

The WinGD X92DF adopts low-pressure, dual-fuel technology which has been developed to provide a propulsion solution to run vessels efficiently, effectively and safely on gas, in addition to conventional heavy-fuel oil or diesel oil. This is according to the website of its developer, Winterthur Gas & Diesel (WinGD), a subsidiary of the CSSC.

The engine fulfills Tier III emissions reduction requirements as set out by the United Nations's International Maritime Organization, without any external exhaust gas emittance following the treatment system, the WinGD said.

The remote intelligent monitoring platform connected with the engine will realize remote support through effective predictions, the CSSC said.

The CSSC released the engine in a teleconference held simultaneously in Beijing, Marseille, Paris, Shanghai and Winterthur.

China to Build World’s First Deep-Sea Aquaculture Ship

(Yicai Global) June 4 -- China is to construct the world’s first deep-sea fish farm ship to breed commercially valuable saltwater fish including yellow croakers, groupers and salmon, the Qingdao Daily reported.

The vessel is expected to have a haul of 4,000 tons of marine products each year worth around CNY220 million (USD31 million), the report said today. At 249 meters long, it will come equipped with Internet of Things and other smart technologies to improve efficiency.

Commissioned by investment firm Qingdao Guoxin Development Group at a cost of CNY400 million (USD56 million), the ship will be built at the port of Qingdao in northeastern Shandong province by state-owned Qingdao Beihai Shipbuilding Heavy Industry and is expected to be delivered in March 2022, according to the contract inked between the two parties yesterday.

The aquaculture ship, which has a carrying capacity of 100,000 tons, acts as a super-large mobile fishing net. It will traverse the coastal waters between Shandong and southern Guangdong province looking for the best environment to cultivate fish. With an aquaculture capacity of 80,000 cubic meters, the fish farm is able to reach depths that ordinary boats cannot.

Qingdao Guoxin plans to commission a further 50 such vessels upon the successful completion of the first one, to boost annual capacity to over 20 tons of marine products, an executive said. This will help spur growth in ship design, ship building, smart fishing, IoT, the intensive processing of aquatic products and many other relevant sectors, he added.
