CHINA'S first deep-sea exploration ship to survey combustible ice was delivered for use yesterday in southern China's Guangdong Province.
Wang Xuelong, deputy director of China Geological Survey Bureau, handed over the certificate of seaworthiness for the ship named Ocean No. 6 to the Guangzhou Marine Geological Survey Bureau, which is carrying out the combustible ice survey in the South China Sea.
Wang said that the ship developed by China cost 400 million yuan (US$59 million) to build.
The ship will search for combustible ice, a kind of natural gas hydrate, as a potential alternative to coal.
