On April 23, 2020, after the successful completion of China's 36th Antarctic scientific expedition mission, the Chinese Antarctic research vessels 'Xuelong' and 'Xuelong 2' returned home together and safely docked at the domestic base wharf.
Starting from Shanghai on October 9, 2019 and successfully returning to China on April 23, 2020, 'Xuelong' and 'Xuelong 2' last 198 days, with a total voyage of about 70000 nautical miles, including 4900 nautical miles in ice area. In particular, the first voyage of 'Xuelong 2' successfully withstood the long-distance voyage of tens of thousands of nautical miles and the practical test of Antarctic extreme sea conditions, and successfully completed the navigation tasks of each leg, providing a solid guarantee for the successful completion of China's 36th Antarctic scientific expedition.
'Xuelong' and 'Xuelong 2' both adopted the interior outfitting products of South China building materials meeting the European NORSOK standard, such as plates, doors and units. The South China building materials cabin products with the ship to Antarctica, can be described as a great responsibility, glorious mission. After this long-time, long-distance and cross sea safe navigation, the superior performance of South China building materials cabin products in terms of fire prevention, sound insulation, heat insulation, durability, easy maintenance, good comfort and high grade fully meets the strict requirements for working environment and living comfort of scientific research personnel for long-time offshore operation, especially in the extreme weather in Antarctica, It has been highly affirmed by Chinese scientific research team members and crew, and once again demonstrates the strong strength of South China building materials in the field of ship supporting industry.
Over the years, the cabin products of South China building materials have been widely used in the fields of luxury cruise, passenger roller, passenger roller ferry, scientific research ship, engineering ship, dredger, chemical shipping, wind power installation ship and various types of offshore oil platforms, in addition to the bulk carrier, container ship and oil tanker. By the end of 2019, the products and services of South China building materials have covered 50 countries and regions on five continents, including Japan, Singapore, Norway, Finland, the Netherlands, Italy, the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, India, Russia, etc., and more than 10000 ships of various types at home and abroad have adopted the cabin products of South China building materials.
In the future, South China building materials will continue to do their own products and services, and strive to make new and greater contributions to the prosperity and development of China's and the world's shipbuilding industry!
Finally, let's wish the Antarctic scientific research of our country a smooth sailing and new breakthroughs!
