China Shipbuilding Dalian Shipbuilding returns to the shuttle tanker construction market
On March 30, the world's largest DP shuttle tanker "North Pioneer" independently designed by Dalian Shipbuilding, a subsidiary of China State Shipbuilding Corporation, was officially delivered, achieving a double breakthrough in my country's shipping industry and shipbuilding industry.
1 The first shuttle oil tanker
"North Pioneer" built for domestic shipowners was entrusted by China Shipping Petrochemical Import and Export Co., Ltd. to China Shipbuilding Dalian Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. Mero oilfield, the tailor-made oil tanker for Chinese share oil transportation has completely independent intellectual property rights. It is another successful masterpiece of Dalian Shipbuilding, marking Dalian Shipbuilding's return to the shuttle tanker construction market. The ship has a load of 155,000 tons, a total length of 279 meters, a molded width of 48 meters, and a molded depth of 23.7 meters. It adopts the industry-leading DP dynamic positioning technology (DP2) and a new generation of bow loading system. It has stable position control functions and higher lift. Oil security. The ship is the first new type of DP tanker built in accordance with the latest version of Petrobras' technical specifications, and it is also the largest DP tanker built in accordance with this standard in the world. The ship has low energy consumption and good manoeuvrability. Its nitrogen oxide emissions have reached Tier III standards, and its ship energy efficiency design index has reached the second stage of EEDI. Its carbon emissions per unit deadweight ton of voyage mileage is about a quarter lower than the baseline value, and it can reduce nearly 7,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year, which is equivalent to planting 1,200 trees.
2 The safety of crude oil transportation at sea is the top - priority
3 Equipped with a variety of new technologies High technology brings high value
The mooring length is limited, and it can work at a water depth of more than 1000 meters. The DP2 system used by the ship is mainly used to ensure the safe distance when the shuttle tanker loads crude oil from the offshore floating production storage and offloading unit (FPSO), and can move relatively with the FPSO to ensure operation safety.
This ship is the first in China to be equipped with a closed-loop power distribution system that meets the requirements of DP2 on a shuttle tanker, which can reduce the number of generators online at the same time, improve operating economy, reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides, sulfides and carbon dioxide, and reduce noise. Create a comfortable working environment. The loading rate of the bow loading system is up to 9000 cubic meters per hour. It has multiple operation modes such as single point mooring, offshore oil terminal, multi-point mooring and external transportation. With the DP2 system, it can safely and efficiently transfer oil from various offshore terminals. and ship loading and unloading operations.
4 Technology iteration drives the transformation and upgrading of shipping companies
After delivery, the ship will go to Brazil to carry out oil extraction operations, providing guarantee for CNOOC's deep-sea oil extraction and transportation in international waters. The average operating water depth of Brazil's ultra-deepwater oilfield is about 2,000 meters. The sea area where the climate is changeable, the wind and waves are strong, and the environmental conditions are harsh. The requirements for the dynamic positioning function of the oil lifting operation oil tanker are extremely high.
The "North Pioneer" has completely independent intellectual property rights. It is the first Suez-class shuttle tanker ordered by a domestic shipowner. It is like a "floating oil pipeline" laid in the southern hemisphere ocean. Another milestone in strategy implementation.
