Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

China is poised to commence sea trials on Friday for its inaugural ocean research drilling ship, equipped to delve into depths surpassing 10,000 meters (32,800 feet). This development marks a pivotal advancement in bolstering China’s capabilities for deep-sea oil and gas exploration.

The vessel, named Mengxiang, meaning “dream” in Chinese, is the country’s first of its kind, boasting the ability to traverse 15,000 nautical miles (27,780 kilometers) and operate continuously for 120 days without returning to port. Additionally, it has the capacity to drill down to 11,000 meters beneath sea level and is designed for navigation across any sea worldwide, as reported by Chinese state media.

Details about the specific location of the sea trials were not disclosed.

The Mengxiang sea trials coincide with heightened tensions in the resource-rich South China Sea. Over the weekend, Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. indicated the possibility of initiating new energy exploration projects in the disputed waterway, further intensifying the ongoing exchanges between China and the Philippines regarding ship encounters in the South China Sea. China asserts its claim over nearly the entire South China Sea, a crucial channel for over $3 trillion in annual ship-borne commerce.

This area is also claimed by the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei. While discussions between China and the Philippines regarding joint exploration of oil and gas resources in the South China Sea resumed in March, Marcos stated on Saturday that progress in these talks has been minimal.
