China’s First Ultradeep Water Drillship.

Its launch comes as energy-hungry China looks to expand its offshore oil and gas development.

Fitted with advanced equipment and nine laboratories, the vessel can drill deeper than 32,800 feet and operate in any water around the globe.

It will be capable of carrying out both oil and gas drilling, and oceanic scientific drilling on the high seas across the world’s oceans.
