The Xin Guang Hua, a heavy lift vessel that is transporting a large floating fish cage structure, designed for the aquaculture industry. This structure allows large-scale fish farming in the open sea, providing a more natural environment for the fish to grow. Xin Guang Hua, one of the largest heavy lift vessels in the world, is often used for major projects like this, which require the transportation of large and heavy cargo that cannot be moved by regular ships. This vessel plays a crucial role in supporting the global aquaculture industry by transporting essential infrastructure for commercial fish production.

I need to know how they get it off the ship. Going to have to google

The M/V Xin Guang Hua, a semi-submersible vessel operated by COSCO SHIPPING, uses its 117 ballast tanks to submerge its 682 ft long, 223 ft wide cargo deck up to 52 ft below water to load and unload cargo. The vessel's four heavy-duty air compressors can complete ballasting operations in about six hours.


The Xin Guang Hua has a deadweight tonnage of 98,370 and a loading capacity of 25 tons per square meter. It's been used to transport a variety of cargo, including:


  • Arctic LNG 2 module
    In December 2021, the Xin Guang Hua transported a 630-axle self-propelled modular transporter (SPMT) carrying a module to the Gydan peninsula in Russia.


  • Asia's largest cylindrical FPSO
    In May 2024, the Xin Guang Hua loaded and unloaded the Haikui No. 1, Asia's largest cylindrical floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) facility, in Qingdao, China and Guangzhou. The Xin Guang Hua's team used careful analysis to ensure a smooth docking of the Haikui No. 1, which doesn't have its own propulsion.


Humans are truly amazing!
