Shanghai Electric celebrated at ZPMC’s base in Qidong, China, the christening and delivery of its first two service operating vessels (SOVs), marking an achievement in the offshore wind industry offshore wind industry.
These vessels, developed in collaboration with Ulstein Design & Solutions AS, are the first of their kind designed specifically for the needs of the Chinese market.
Characteristics and technical details of SOVs
Both SOVs, the Zhi Cheng 60 and the Zhi Zhen 100, integrate innovative solutions such as the X-BOW y X-STERNdesigns, which significantly improve seakeeping performance.
These advances reduce vibrations, ensuring greater safety and comfort for the crew.
In addition, the vessels feature advanced dynamic positioning systems (DP2), as well as energy storage technologies. energy storage and propulsion and propulsion technologies, optimizing efficiency at sea.
