Icebreaker Snow Dragon 2 reports for duty
Xuelong 2, or Snow Dragon 2, the first polar research vessel built by China, was handed over for use on Thursday in Shanghai.
The vessel, what China’s Ministry of Natural Resources calls "a breakthrough in supply and support of polar research," was designed by the No. 708 Research Institute of China State Shipbuilding Co and the Finnish Aker Arctic Technology Co, and built by Jiangnan Shipyard Group Co in Shanghai.
The ship is 122.5 meters long and 22.3 meters wide, with a draught of 7.85 meters and displacement of about 14,000 tons. It can cruise at up to 15 knots with a range of 20,000 nautical miles on one load of fuel. It needs to resupply every 60 days.
