Aluminium show | Domestic Shipping's New Era: Grand Delivery of the First All-Aluminium Catamaran High-Speed Wind Power Operation and Maintenance Vessel

Recently, the CCCC Haifeng Wind Power all-aluminium catamaran high-speed wind power operation and maintenance ship was officially delivered, marking a new era in China's wind power operation and maintenance field. According to aluminium show, the vessel named "Haifeng 5101" is the latest generation of offshore wind power operation and maintenance vessel (CTV) built by CCCC Haifeng Wind Power. It is classified by CCS Classification Society and features an all-aluminium catamaran and half-small-waterline structure design. With an overall length of 33.2 meters, a beam of 10.8 meters, and a depth of 4.4 meters, the ship has a trial speed of approximately 27 knots and a range of 500 nautical miles. It has a rated passenger capacity of 12 and offers good speed and strong wave resistance. It is the first all-aluminium catamaran CTV with a semi-small-waterline type in China. The vessel's unique design and advanced manufacturing technology have enabled it to achieve international leading levels in terms of speed, stability, and load capacity.

In today's rapidly developing new energy landscape, wind power operation and maintenance play a crucial role in ensuring the safe and stable operation of wind farms. It is also important for improving the overall operational efficiency of wind farms and reducing costs. The introduction of the all-aluminium catamaran high-speed wind power operation and maintenance vessel will undoubtedly provide more efficient and convenient solutions for wind power operation and maintenance.

The use of all-aluminium material is one of the key features of the "Haifeng 5101". Aluminium's lightweight, corrosion resistance, and ease of processing effectively reduce the weight of the hull, improving speed and fuel efficiency. Additionally, the catamaran design enhances hull stability, allowing for smooth sailing in complex sea conditions and providing a safer working environment for operation and maintenance personnel.
