On December 16, Jiangxi Jiangxin Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Jiangxi Military Industry Holding Group, held a steel cutting ceremony for the “Kan 407″ Engineering Geological Survey Vessel Project” and a signing ceremony for the “6,000 HP dual-fuel support vessel” built for the Shanghai Offshore Oil Bureau of Sinopec Group.
The 6000 HP dual-fuel support vessel is an LNG dual-fuel powered support vessel with an overall length of about 73.6 meters and a beam of 15.8 meters. It uses electric propulsion and has dynamic positioning and berthing capabilities. The maximum speed is 12.5 knots, the self-sustaining capacity is not less than 30 days, and it sails in unlimited navigation areas.
After completion, it will mainly provide various services for offshore oil and gas exploration and exploitation, as well as offshore structures and mobile facilities, etc. It has the functions of supplying, guarding and external fire-fighting.
The total length of the engineering geological survey vessel “Kan 407” is 56.9 meters, the beam is 14.6 meters, and the designed draft is 4.6 meters. It is propelled by a diesel engine, has a double bottom and double hull, a crew of 40 people, a self-sustaining capacity of not less than 40 days, endurance of not less than 5,000 nautical miles, and sails in unlimited navigation areas. It is mainly used for marine geological survey operations and marine geological and engineering geological drilling and sampling operations, and has the capabilities of four-point anchor positioning, high-resolution seismic operations, and seabed surface sampling.
After delivery, the vessel will further promote Sinopec to realize a new breakthrough in the construction of offshore oil and gas, provide advantages for building a world-leading clean energy and chemical company, add kinetic energy and vitality, and help realize the goal of “Double Carbon” and the high-quality development of oil and gas in the sea area.
