QINGDAO, Dec. 21 (Xinhua) -- Construction of the world's first 100,000-tonnage smart fish farming ship has started in the eastern Chinese city of Qingdao.
The aquaculture ship Conson No.1, which is 249.9 meters long and 45 meters wide, is expected to be delivered in March 2022, said Dong Shaoguang, deputy general manager of Qingdao Conson Development Group, an investor in the construction project.
With a water body displacement of 130,000 tonnes and a design speed of 10 knots, it can move to avoid typhoons, red tides and other types of severe weather and disasters, and carry out aquaculture operations in global waters, Dong said.
