CHINA yesterday launched its largest and most advanced patrol vessel, Haixun01, in Wuhan, in central Hubei Province, in a move to maintain marine sovereignty and enhance rescue efficiency.
Haixun01 is the first Chinese patrol vessel to simultaneously incorporate marine inspection and rescue functions. It will carry out inspections, safety monitoring, rescue and oil spill detection and handling, said Xu Guoyi, head of the Shanghai Maritime Bureau, which will manage the ship.
It should go into service by the end of the year, Xu said.
The 5,418-tonne vessel is 128.6 meters long. Its sailing speed is 37 kilometers per hour and it has a maximum sailing distance of 18,520 kilometers without refueling, said Tang Gongjie, general manager of Wuchang Shipbuilding Industry Company Ltd, which built the ship.
It can hold 200 rescued people, and offer medical treatment. It also has a helipad.
Haixun01 will maintain maritime safety and safeguard sovereignty, said Huang He, deputy head of the Transport Ministry's maritime bureau.
