on october 4, asia's first cylindrical fpso (floating production, storage and offloading unit) "haikui no. 1" has just been put into operation in liuhua oilfield in the south china sea and is about to usher in the important moment of exporting the first crude oil shipment.
as a high-end marine equipment integrating crude oil production, storage, export and other functions, "hai kui no. 1" can process approximately 5,600 tons of crude oil per day and has a maximum oil storage capacity of 60,000 tons. due to its unique double stern transmission function design, it needs an oil lifting partner who understands it better and is more compatible.
this good partner is the "beihai pioneer" ship from pudong, shanghai - specially modified by cnooc shanghai beihai shipping co., ltd. ("beihai shipping company" for short) for the "haikui no. 1" export operation , equipped with a bow loading and bow thrusting system, which perfectly meets the special capacity requirements of the "hai kui no. 1" external transportation.
according to reports, the "beihai kailan" ship is equipped with a bow loading system and has multiple operating modes such as single-point mooring, multi-point mooring, and offshore oil transportation. it is also equipped with a bow side thrust device to enable it to adapt to more severe conditions. complex sea operating conditions. the ship can easily meet the export rate of more than 4,000 cubic meters per hour required by "hai kui no. 1" and can transport 450,000 barrels of crude oil at a time.
when lifting oil, the "beihai pioneer" ship can also lift and connect external hoses on its own, avoiding various risks associated with traditional ship-type fpsos that transfer oil hoses when lifting oil, and reducing the workload and risks of takeover operators. at the same time, the safety of extreme weather operations is enhanced.
"haikui no. 1" has set up two export points in the northeast and southwest according to the prevailing monsoon wind direction in the sea area, which has improved the safety, stability and flexibility requirements of the oil tanker.
the bow thrust system of the "beihai pioneer" can stabilize the direction of the ship's bow when lifting oil, can adapt to different external transfer points, and can also reduce the risk of collision between the fpso, the oil lifter, and the auxiliary tugboat when lifting oil. it is a "sea anemone" "no. 1" provides safe and reliable transportation capacity guarantee.
in fact, at the beginning of the design and construction of "haikui no. 1", there was no suitable transportation capacity at home and abroad, and it was necessary to build new ships or modify existing ships to adapt the transportation capacity. in order to shorten the delivery cycle and maximize the use of existing resources, the project team of beihai shipping company finally chose to transform the "beihai pioneer" ship.
during the transformation process of the "beihai pioneer" ship, it only took 12 days to complete the dock construction, and the final test delivery was completed one month ahead of the planned transformation period, which gained sufficient test time for the "haikui no. 1" export operation.
beihai shipping company is the first domestic shipping company to master and have advanced experience in bow loading systems and dynamic positioning systems. however, it is also the first time in china to install bow loading equipment on ordinary oil tankers to load crude oil.
when faced with a series of challenges such as adding a new generator in a compact engine room and transforming a switchboard in a small centralized control room, the "beihai kailan" ship modification project team gave full play to its expertise and integrated the new bow loading system into the bow, utilizing the original there are warehouses to insert the auxiliary equipment of the newly added system, and through sharing maintenance space and other methods, the utilization rate of the ship's space is improved, and the "brain capacity" of the ship is enriched.
on september 20, the "beihai kaituo" successfully completed the first export operation of the "haikui no. 1", successfully tested the results of the "haikui no. 1" oil tanker modification project supporting the "beihai kaolan" ship, and unlocked the "haikui no. 1" oil tanker transformation project. "no. 1" cylindrical fpso transportation "new skills" have also realized the innovative development of china's cylindrical fpso adapted transportation capacity from scratch, and will contribute an important force to the development of my country's deepwater oil and gas fields.
li yining, the administrative personnel director of beihai shipping company, told reporters that beihai shipping company was established in 1994. it can be said that it was born with the development and opening up of pudong new area. in the preparatory stage, the company took a fancy to the huge potential of pudong's opening up and chose to open up in pudong. this establishes the company's headquarters. today, pudong has gathered a large number of shipping-related companies and institutions, ranging from shipping and freight forwarding to port services, maritime legal consulting, insurance, etc. this industrial agglomeration effect makes it easier for companies to find partners and service providers, and is conducive to the formation of a good ecology of close collaboration between the upstream, midstream and downstream shipping industry chains.
li yining also revealed that currently, shanghai is the only place in the country that has included the shipping industry in the carbon trading market. beihai shipping company has taken the initiative to become a shipping company in shanghai’s carbon emission quota management unit, exploring the carbon emission reduction management system for the shipping industry and realizing carbon emission reduction for our country. contributing to peak and carbon neutrality goals. at the same time, it actively responds to the pudong new area’s policy of promoting shipping informatization and intelligence, explores green shipping technologies and models, and helps beihai shipping company maintain the cutting-edge level in the industry.
