全球第一艘M350型浮式生产储卸油船——“Bacalhau”号的船体及生活区已于5月26日正式交付，标志着中国造船业取得了突破性进展。该油船总长364米，型宽64米，型深33米，共有22个货油舱，满载储油量为200万桶，其物量规模和尺度参数创世界之最，投入运营后，每天能够处理约22万桶原油。据大连船舶重工海洋工程大型项目团队副经理潘永泉介绍：“这是世界上首个应用挪威船级社（DNV）最新规范设计的超大型海工项目。”该船使用了钛合金管、耐热合金管、超级双向不锈钢管等多种长效防腐性能材料，使得这艘大船可以30年不进坞维修，仅需进行低成本的维护。

The hull and living quarters of the Bacalhau-the world’s first M350 floating, production, storage and offloading vessel-were delivered on 26th May, marking a breakthrough for the Chinese shipbuilding industry. The new vessel’s material scale and scale parameters make it the largest in the world, with a total length of 364 meters, a beam of 64 meters and a depth of 33 meters. It boasts 22 cargo tanks with a full-load oil storage capacity of 2 million barrels. After it is put into operation, the vessel will process 220,000 barrels of crude oil each day.“The new vessel is the world’s first large offshore project designed in adherence to the latest rules and regulations of the Det Norske Veritas,” said Pan Yongquan, vice-manager of the large project team of marine industrial products at Dalian Shipbuilding Industry.“A variety of long-term anti-corrosive materials, such as titanium alloy pipes, heat-resistant alloy pipes and super duplex stainless steel pipes, have been used,” Pan said, emphasizing that these made the Bacalhau a low-maintenance vessel and would allow it to meet its 30-year designed life without any dry-docking requirements.
