Recently, the Nantong Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology announced the list of the first set of major equipment and key components recognized for the year 2024. Among them is ROC's developed project "10-16MW Offshore Wind Turbine Efficient and Safe Construction Vessel for Deep and Distant Seas."

This project focuses on the innovative research and development of installation, maintenance, and salvage operations for offshore wind power facilities (such as towers, blades, nacelles, and jacket structures) in deep and distant seas (water depth > 50 meters, site center > 70 kilometers from shore). It aims to enhance design levels, break through key components (devices), and conquer construction technology and other critical aspects, thereby solving several key technical challenges. The project's accompanying research and development of a marine engineering crane with a lifting capacity of 3000 tons, a maximum lifting height of 110 meters, 360° full rotation, and a self-weight to maximum lifting capacity ratio of 1:1, addresses the current challenges that existing offshore wind power installation platforms and cranes face in installing and maintaining offshore wind power facilities of 10 megawatts and above. The technical level is at the forefront domestically and advanced internationally.

The successful recognition of the project fully demonstrates the government's relevant departments and authoritative experts in the industry's recognition of product research, design, and technological innovation. It is also a full affirmation of ROC's innovative research and development capabilities in offshore engineering equipment, further enhancing ROC's core competitiveness in the field of offshore wind power equipment.
