Constructed in Qingdao West Coast New Area, this cutting-edge marine structure boasts a 60,000-metric-ton oil storage capacity and can process 5,600 tons of crude oil daily.
Specifically designed to endure extreme sea conditions, Haikui 1 is capable of up to 15 years at sea without the need for docking and is designed to last for 30 years.
Integrating critical functions like crude oil production, storage, and transportation, the FPSO facility represents a significant milestone in China's maritime engineering. Its successful deployment signals a new era of advanced marine technology and operational efficiency.
