On December 18, China's first ultra-deepwater ocean research and drilling ship independently designed and built was officially named "Dream", and will start its first trial voyage in Nansha, Guangzhou in the near future. This marks a key step in China's deep-sea exploration capacity building and equipment modernization.
China Geological Survey.
The "Dream" was designed and built by China State Shipbuilding Corporation, with a gross tonnage of about 33,000 tons and a total length of 1798 meters, 32 meters wide8 meters, endurance of 15,000 nautical miles, self-sustaining power of 120 days, stability and structural strength are designed according to the safety requirements of 16 typhoon sea conditions, with the operation capacity of unlimited navigation area in the global sea area and the drilling capacity of 11,000 meters in the sea area.
In accordance with the design and construction concept of "small tonnage, multi-function and modularization", the "Dream" has broken through more than 10 key technologies, completed a number of international first designs, and its overall equipment and comprehensive operation capacity are at the international leading level. The ship has the world's most advanced drilling system, the world's largest, most complete functions, the best process of the shipboard laboratory, the world's largest and most advanced scientific research ship integrated information system, can realize the whole process of drilling operation monitoring, scientific experiment intelligent coordination.
The main goal of this sea trial was to verify the powertrain functionality.
