  China's pipe-laying ship to sail for South China Sea  

  

 

China's first deep-water pipe-laying crane vessel will set sail on its maiden voyage Saturday from the eastern port of Qingdao to the South China Sea.

¡¡¡¡QINGDAO, Shandong, May 18 (Xinhua) -- China's first deep-water pipe-laying crane vessel will set sail on its maiden voyage Saturday from the eastern port of Qingdao to the South China Sea.

¡¡¡¡A spokesman with the Qingdao marine affairs department said Friday that the bureau is completing final checkups of the vessel's navigational safety devices, emergency communications systems, fire-fighting and lifesaving capacities and anti-pollution facilities.

¡¡¡¡The ship, CNOOC 201, was developed by China National Offshore Oil Corp (CNOOC). It is an auto-navigation crane vessel with a capacity of laying pipes at a maximum underwater depth of 3,000 meters and hoisting 4,000 metric tons of weight.

¡¡¡¡CNOOC 201 will be sent to the South China Sea to lay pipes at Liwan 3-1 Gas Field of 1,500 meters deep about 310 kilometers offshore southeast Hong Kong. It will also conduct other trial pipe laying operations in the sea.

¡¡¡¡CNOOC said it has invested 3 billion yuan (474 million U.S. dollars) for developing the vessel, which can lay 5 km length of pipeline a day. It can also carry 380 crew and workers.
