Deep sea sci-tech lab established to boost China s key tech innovation Xinhua | Updated: 2021-01-18 14:03 Share CLOSE
BEIJING A deep sea sci-tech lab has been established to boost the development of an innovative system of key technologies in related fields, according to the China State Shipbuilding Corporation (CSSC).
Located in the city of Wuxi, East China s Jiangsu province, the sci-tech lab named Taihu has been built by the CSSC-affiliated China Ship Scientific Research Center, the CSSC said.
The research center aims to build the deep sea sci-tech lab into an advanced laboratory with global influence.
By 2025, the lab plans to gather around 4,000 talents to work on such tasks as deep-sea diving, deep-sea communication and navigation, and deep ocean survey.

The ocean economy is growing as commercial use of the ocean accelerates, while progress toward achieving international goals for ocean conservation and sustainability is lagging. In this context, the private sector is increasingly recognized as having the capacity to hamper efforts to achieve aspirations of sustainable ocean-based development or alternatively to bend current trajectories of ocean use by taking on the mantle of corporate biosphere stewardship. Here, we identify levels of industry concentration to assess where this capacity rests. We show that the 10 largest companies in eight core ocean economy industries generate, on average, 45% of each industry’s total revenues. Aggregating across all eight industries, the 100 largest corporations (the “Ocean 100”) account for 60% of total revenues. This level of concentration in the ocean economy presents both risks and opportunities for ensuring sustainability and equity of global ocean use.
Jan 14 2021 There are developments with LNG fuelled chemical / crude tankers happening around a number of ‘focal points’ – Shell, Swedish owners, Sovcomflot and shuttle tankers. There are a number of developments happening around the world to use LNG fuel for crude / chemical / products tankers – which seems to be happening around ‘focal points’ of Shell, Swedish owners, Sovcomflot and shuttle tankers. This article reviews the developments. There is nothing new about using LNG fuel for LNG carriers – as a way to use their own boil off gas. Using LNG to power tankers for normal liquid cargoes – crude and chemicals – is still very now.
