On the morning of March 29, the world's first 227-meter deep-sea mining vessel was successfully docked at Mawei Shipbuilding.
The 227-meter deep-sea mining vessel is the world's first ship signed by Mawei Shipbuilding and MAC in 2014. The end-user is Nautilus Mining Co., which is classified as the American ABS classification society. Since its construction, it has become the focus of worldwide attention. The total length of the vessel is 227 meters. , Model width 40 meters, Model depth 18.2 meters, Draught 13.2 meters, Configuration 6600V medium voltage power distribution system, 31 MW total installed capacity, Can accommodate 199 people high comfort accommodation cabin, Also equipped with powerful deep sea mineral mining, Lifting, dehydration and handling systems, propulsion systems and dynamic positioning systems, highly intelligent automated control systems, and the world's first mining systems of all types, with capabilities for mining operations in the deep sea area of 2500 meters, mainly for deep sea polymetallic sulphides Mining, can be used to load 39,000 tons of minerals, integrate mining operations, navigation, and living and service functions into one, sustainable positioning operations at sea for up to 5 years.
World's first 227-meter deep-sea mining ship docked
As the world's first deep-sea mining operation in the world, the 227-meter deep-sea mining vessel project is of great significance to the implementation of deep-sea strategy and the construction of a maritime power in China. The project is high in content, high in added value, and difficult to construct. It is a horsetail. The new exploration of the transformation and upgrading of shipbuilding, adhering to the ingenuity concept of Mawei Shipbuilder, has been meticulously 'carved', showing the spirit of 'sincere solidarity and pioneering spirit'. Her smooth docking is a multi-participation and collaborative effort. The outstanding results indicate that Mawei Shipbuilding has taken another solid step in the field of high-end marine engineering equipment and won the praise of shipowners, ship inspections, industry peers and financial institutions.
After the docking ceremony on that day, Nautilus Mining Co., Ltd. signed a letter of intent with the second generation of deep-sea mining vessels with Mawei Shipbuilding.
