Cosco Shipping Specialised Carriers launches mega semi-submersible
COSCO Shipping Specialised Carriers (CSSC) has launched China's biggest semi-submersible ship, the Xin Guang Hua, from Guangzhou Shipyard International Company.
The Xin Guang Hua is 255 metre long and 68 metres wide and can handle 100,000 tonnes of cargo, and is now one of eight company semi-submersibles, ranging from 20,000 - 100,000 tonnes carrying capacity, reports Xinhua.
Semi-submersible ships are mainly used to transport large cargo, such as offshore platforms for the oil and gas industry, and can also be used to move entire ships for salvage.
One was used to move USS Cole back to a US for repairs after the American destroyer was disabled in 2000 by an al-Qaeda bomb in Aden.
