On December 27, the China Geological Survey of the Ministry of Natural Resources announced that China's first self-developed ocean drilling ship "Dream" was successfully tested for the first time, and various indicators met or exceeded the design requirements, marking another solid step towards China's strategic goal of becoming a maritime power.
It is reported that the trial voyage was launched in Nansha, Guangzhou on December 18, with a total voyage of about 500 nautical miles, and more than 200 technicians and management personnel participated in the commissioning of 19 key marine systems, including ship power stations, propulsion systems, communication and navigation, etc., and the performance met or exceeded the design requirements.
"Dream" is one of the most advanced ocean drilling ships in the world, and it is also China's first completely self-developed ocean drilling ship, whose excellent performance and innovative design mark a major breakthrough in the field of marine science and technology in China. The ship not only has advanced class additional markings such as DP3 (CR) dynamic positioning system and Battery (Power-H) battery power, but also is an ultra-deepwater research and drilling ship with strong self-propelled capabilities.
The gross tonnage of the ship is about 33,000 tons, and the total length is 179With a cruising capacity of 8 meters and a cruising capacity of 15,000 nautical miles, it can operate in an unlimited navigation area in global waters and has a drilling capacity of 11,000 meters in the sea area. The ship was organized and built by the China Geological Survey of the Ministry of Natural Resources, and China Shipbuilding Group was responsible for the design and construction, with the participation of more than 150 units.
In addition, the "Dream" will also provide strong support for China's implementation of the international major scientific program of ocean drilling, greatly enhance China's strength in "deep-sea entry, deep-sea exploration, and deep-sea development", and open a new chapter for China to explore the mysteries of the deep sea, protect the marine environment, and develop marine resources. The successful trial voyage of the "Dream" is not only an important milestone in the development of China's marine science and technology, but also an important symbol of China's determination to demonstrate its scientific and technological innovation strength and maritime power to the world.
During the sea trial, the "Dream" successfully completed the commissioning of 19 key marine systems such as ship power station, propulsion system, communication and navigation, and life-saving anchorage, and completed the navigation test and international certification related projects as planned. After hull inspection and trial data analysis, the main power and other marine systems have passed strict verification, and their performance and various indicators have met or even exceeded the design requirements, fully demonstrating China's major breakthroughs and outstanding achievements in the field of marine engineering technology.
It is understood that the "Dream" has completed a number of international firsts in the design and construction, which will enhance China's status in the field of global marine engineering technology. After completion, it will become an important equipment for the industrialization of natural gas and hydrate exploration and exploitation, and support China's implementation of the international major scientific plan for ocean drilling, and enhance the ability of deep-sea exploration, exploration and development.
According to public information, the "Dream" belongs to the China Geological Survey of the Ministry of Natural Resources, designed by the 78th Research Institute of China Shipbuilding Group, and built by CSSC Huangpu Wenchong Shipbuilding. During the development process, China Classification Society set up a special working group to provide a full range of technical support and services for the "Dream". The project team strictly controls safety and quality, and works closely with shipowners and shipyards to ensure the smooth progress of the project.
In general, the successful trial voyage of the "Dream" marks an important breakthrough and achievement in the field of marine science and technology in China, and demonstrates China's scientific and technological innovation strength and determination to become a maritime power. Its birth will greatly enhance China's strength in deep-sea exploration, development and scientific research, lay the foundation for the realization of the strategy of maritime power, and is also the embodiment of the wisdom and perseverance of China's scientific researchers, demonstrating China's ability and determination to innovate independently in the field of high-tech.
