Dalian Shipbuilding of China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation delivers the world's first M350 offshore floating production, storage and offloading oil vessel

The "Bacalhau" has gone from concept to practice, from drawings to actual ships. In accordance with the concept of full life cycle informationization and digital management, it has achieved full three-dimensional design and visual construction. It is the world's largest application The ultra-large offshore projects designed according to the latest specifications of Det Norske Veritas can meet the special marine environmental conditions in Brazil, West Africa, Australia and other regions, are suitable for oil and gas development operations in many sea areas around the world, and can significantly reduce the owner's operating costs.

The project can carry out oil exploration, oil and gas separation, oily sewage treatment, power generation, heating, storage and transportation of crude oil products. It is a comprehensive complex integrating personnel residence and production command system. Large-scale offshore oil production base.

The project is classified by Det Norske Veritas and flies the Bahamas flag. Its material scale and dimension parameters are among the best in the world. The ship has a total length of 364 meters, a width of 64 meters, a depth of 33 meters, a designed draft of 22.65 meters, a displacement of more than 460,000 tons, and a deck area of ​​17,400 square meters, which is equivalent to three standard football fields. It can process 220,000 barrels of crude oil per day, which is equivalent to an onshore oil and gas processing plant covering an area of ​​10 square kilometers. Among them, the oil and gas processing upper module weighs 50,000 tons, the whole ship has as many as 34,000 pipes, weighing about 4,000 tons, and the total cable length is about 800,000 meters, which is equivalent to the straight-line distance from Dalian to Shanghai. The painting area is about 880,000 square meters, and the amount of construction materials in each major is three times that of ordinary very large oil tankers (VLCC).

This project successfully applied a variety of long-lasting anti-corrosion materials such as titanium alloy pipes, heat-resistant alloy pipes, super two-way stainless steel pipes and improved fiberglass pipes for fire protection systems, breaking through the welding process , coating process and installation process difficulties, the platform only needs a low level of maintenance in the oil field to meet the requirement of not docking for 30 years. There are 22 cargo oil tanks with a full-load oil storage capacity of 2 million barrels. They adopt a bow and stern double external oil transportation operation mode. The method is flexible and can meet different operating needs.

It is reported that the ship will operate in the Santos Basin off the coast of Sao Paulo State, Brazil. It is currently the floating production and storage ship with the largest production capacity and reserves in Brazilian waters.
