A Chinese firm delivered a giant carrier ship designed for livestock to a Singaporean buyer on Wednesday. The ship is the largest of its kind to be produced in China. The vessel is 189.5 meters long with a floor space of 23,500 square meters, enough for 17,000 live cattle at a time.

China has commissioned a fully automated, “most advanced” marine science ship which will be deployed in the Indian Ocean. The vessel, Xiang Yang Hong 01, was commissioned in the eastern port city of Qingdao. The 100-metre long ship with displacement of 4,980 tonnes and a range of 15,000 nautical miles has plentiful remote sensing equipment to explore as deep as 10,000 meters.
