China's first large-scale buoys workboat launches to enhance the level of ocean observation

[ China Instrument Network Instrument Development ] On September 29th, China's first large-scale buoy operation ship "Xiangyanghong 22" was officially launched on the Yangtze River in Wuhan, Hubei. This will help our country move deep into the ocean and enhance the level of global ocean observation in our country.

Buoys are the most important means of current marine monitoring. The monitoring agency obtains marine data information by placing various monitoring instruments on the buoy platform, so as to achieve the purpose of understanding the ocean and the ocean. China lags behind the maritime powers in developed countries in the deployment of marine buoys.

CSIC Wuchang Ship Group Co., Ltd. is a subsidiary of China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation. It was founded in 1934. After years of continuous development, CSIC Wuchang Ship Group Co., Ltd. has formed three major productions in Wuhan Wuchang, Qingdao Haixi Bay and Wuhan Shuangliu. The pattern of coordinated development of the nine major product sectors of the base and military, military trade, offshore and large ships, small and medium-sized ships, and logistics services.

At the same time, CSIC Wuchang Ship Group Co., Ltd. is also a modern underwater and surface ship manufacturing base in China. At present, it has formed a complete military construction standard and independent innovation process system, making outstanding contributions to China's naval equipment upgrading and national defense undertakings. .

“Xiangyanghong 22” was built by CSIC Wuchang Ship Group Co., Ltd. The "Xiangyanghong 22" wheel is 89 meters long, 18 meters wide and 7.2 meters deep. The maximum speed is not less than 16 knots. With an endurance of 10,000 nautical miles and a self-sustaining power of 60 days, it has global navigation capability.

According to reports, the "Xiangyanghong 22" wheel is a 3,000-ton large-scale buoy operation vessel. After serving, it will break the equipment bottleneck in China's large-scale buoys, submarine deployment, recycling, repair and other security work. It also has a working vessel with a capacity of 10 meters of large-scale marine monitoring buoys. It is also one of the most powerful working vessels for lifting buoys in the world.

With the accelerating pace of building a maritime power, the demand for large buoys equipped with a variety of monitoring instruments in the deep sea is increasing. After the completion of the "Xiangyanghong 22" round, China's large-scale buoy support capacity will be further strengthened to help China's ocean observation range expand to the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean.
