The new "national treasure" is making its debut! The domestic offshore wind power operation and maintenance mother ship has arrived
On September 16th, the Jishui ceremony for two wind power operation and maintenance mother ships built by Zhenhua Heavy Industry for Shanghai Electric was held in Qidong. This is the first batch of wind power operation and maintenance mother ships manufactured in China and Asia.
The wind power operation and maintenance mother ship is a type of ship used for offshore wind farm operation and maintenance, which can improve the safety and efficiency of offshore wind farm operation and maintenance, and is of great significance for enriching the supporting ships for offshore wind power.
The two wind power operation and maintenance mother ships unveiled this time are of 100 person and 60 person specifications, respectively. The 100 person wind power operation and maintenance mother ship has a captain of 93.4 meters, a width of 19 meters, and a designed speed of 12.3 knots; The 60 person wind power operation and maintenance mother ship has a captain of 72.76 meters, a width of 17.5 meters, and a designed speed of 12 knots. Two ships have self-sustaining capacity for more than 30 days, meeting the requirements of unlimited navigation area.
After the two operation and maintenance mother ships are put into operation, they will be applied to large wind farms 40 kilometers offshore, which can greatly alleviate the pain points of short window periods, inability to continue operations, multiple round trips, low efficiency, and poor applicability to harsh sea conditions of mainstream Chinese maritime transportation ships, providing strong support for the operation and maintenance of deep sea projects.
