Construction of a 2,000-ton marine scientific research and teaching support ship begins in Wenchong, Huangpu

The ship has a total length of 82 meters, a molded width of 15 meters, a molded depth of 6.9 meters, a designed draft of 4 meters, a designed displacement of 2,600 tons, a maximum speed of 15 knots, a self-sustaining capacity of 35 days, and a capacity of 45 people. . The ship has all-weather operation capabilities and integrates scientific research and investigation functions such as marine geology, marine chemistry, marine biology, physical oceanography, seabed equipment deployment and recovery, and engineering geology. It has outstanding comprehensive scientific research capabilities and many performances have reached the world's leading level.

The ship can be equipped with operational underwater remote controlRobot and multiple container-type shipborne laboratories, which can adapt to diverse marine scientific research Mission: Using the latest intelligent ship design, it has functions such as autonomous navigation in open waters, assisted departure and berthing, remote monitoring and remote control, ship energy efficiency monitoring and fault diagnosis; using a hybrid power system of domestically produced pods and diesel generators/batteries, More energy-saving and environmentally friendly.

At the same time, the ship is based on the people-oriented design concept and has excellent performance in terms of operability, comfort, convenience, maintainability, etc., and can provide scientific expedition personnel with a comfortable environment. scientific research environment.

It is reported that the unique appearance, smart ship certification, hybrid power and other features have put forward high requirements for the ship's construction. Huangpu Wenchong will carry out research and research on key technologies such as multi-curved outer surface construction, intelligent system installation and commissioning, localized pod propulsion and energy storage to ensure the completion of the ship's safe and high-quality launch at the end of this year and delivery in May next year.

In view of the relative scarcity of 2,000-ton, economical, green and intelligent scientific research ships in China, the ship will be used for scientific research voyages of Tongji University’s Oceanographic Department and other units after completion. Maritime internships for students, etc., provide a solid guarantee for marine scientific research and the training of marine-related professionals. According to the relevant person in charge of Tongji University, the ship is an important equipment support for Tongji University’s scientific research and personnel training in maritime-related disciplines, and will further enhance the school’sIt is of great significance to further build a world-class marine discipline and enhance the national marine scientific research capabilities.
