TAN SUO SAN HAO boasts a length of 104 meters, a full load displacement of about 10,000 tons, a top speed of 16 knots, ice reinforcement for PC4 conditions, an 80-member crew, and a range spanning 15,000 nautical miles.
It showcases independently controllable pivotal technologies encompassing overall ice ship design, intelligent control systems, low-temperature precise compensation mechanisms, and integrated structures for ice and heavy load handling. The vessel is outfitted with locally manufactured scientific research gear tailored for operations in icy zones.
Commencing construction in June 2023 and culminating in November 2024 after an 18-month endeavor, TAN SUO SAN HAO signifies a pioneering ice-breaking vessel, equipped for deep-sea scientific exploration, manned deep diving, engineering tasks, underwater archaeology, and swift response actions.
This heralds a new chapter in the top-notch development of the Hainan Free Trade Port, aspiring to pioneer technological innovation across terrestrial, marine, and aerial domains.
