We will promote the development of offshore engineering equipment and high-tech ships

According to the stage of industrial development, development basis and conditions, the development direction and focus of Marine engineering equipment and high-tech ships in the next decade are mainly in the following aspects:

(1) Marine resources development equipment

Marine resources include Marine oil and gas resources, mineral resources, Marine biological resources, Marine chemical resources, Marine energy, Marine space resources and so on. Marine resources development equipment is all kinds of Marine resources exploration, mining, storage, processing and other equipment.

1. Deep-sea exploration equipment. Focus on the development of deep-sea geophysical exploration ships, engineering survey ships and other surface Marine resources exploration equipment; Vigorously develop manned deep-sea submersibles, unmanned submersibles and other underwater exploration equipment; Promote the research and industrialization of ocean observation networks and technologies and ocean sensing technologies.

2. Offshore oil and gas resources development equipment. Focus on improving the technical capabilities of mainstream equipment such as jack-up drilling platforms, semi-submersible drilling platforms, semi-submersible production platforms, semi-submersible support platforms, drilling ships, floating production storage and unloading devices (FPSO), and accelerate the pace of technological upgrading; Vigorously develop the research and development level of new equipment such as liquefied natural gas floating production, storage and unloading unit (LNG-FPSO), deep draft column platform (SPAR), tension leg platform (TLP), floating drilling production, storage and unloading unit (FDPSO), and form industrialization capacity.

3. Other Marine resources development equipment. Focusing on the future needs of Marine resources development, we will carry out forward-looking research on new Marine resources development equipment such as seabed metal mineral exploration and development equipment, natural gas hydrate and other mining equipment, wave energy/tidal current energy and other Marine renewable energy development equipment, so as to form technical reserves.

4. Marine operation support equipment. It will focus on the development of auxiliary and construction equipment for offshore engineering such as semi-submersible transport vessels, lifting pipe-laying vessels, windmill installation vessels, multi-purpose working vessels, and platform supply vessels, and accelerate the development and application of deep-sea underwater emergency operation equipment and systems.

(2) Equipment for the exploitation of Marine space resources

Marine space resources refers to the general term of the geographical areas of the sea, sea and seabed that are related to the development and utilization of the ocean. Equipment for the comprehensive utilization of sea surface, sea and submarine space can be collectively referred to as Marine space resources development equipment.

1. Deep-sea space Station. Breaking through the key technologies of ultra-deep diving operation and residential deep-sea space station, it has basic functions such as manned autonomous navigation, long-term self-sufficiency and underwater energy relay, can integrate several special modules (Marine resource detection module, underwater drilling module, platform underwater installation module, underwater detection/maintenance/repair module), and carry various types of underwater operation equipment. Carry out deep-sea exploration and resource exploitation operations.

2. Large floating structures in the ocean. With the development of the South China Sea as the main goal, combined with the construction of islands and reefs in the South China Sea, by breaking through the core and key technologies of large floating platforms at sea, in accordance with the different functional needs of energy supply, material storage and supply, production and living, resource development and utilization, aircraft take-off and landing, and relying on typical islands and reefs, the construction of floating platforms will be carried out.

(3) Comprehensive test and detection platform

The comprehensive test and testing platform is the foundation of the overall research and design of Marine engineering equipment and supporting equipment, and is the source of innovation and the driving force of development.

1. Numerical water pool. In order to narrow the gap between China's ship design theory and technology level and the international leading level, through phased implementation, the numerical pool can be established to guide the research and development and design of ships and offshore engineering.

2. Marine engineering equipment test site. With the goal of systematically solving the fundamental problems of the autonomy and industrialization of the key supporting equipment of China's ocean engineering equipment, the durability and reliability tests of various platform equipment and underwater equipment are realized through the construction of Marine engineering equipment test sites, and the process of localization of China's ocean engineering equipment is accelerated.
