The "Xuelong 2" polar research ship is independently built by China and is the first polar scientific research icebreaker in the world to obtain the intelligent ship classification mark. It is also the first icebreaker in the world to adopt bow and stern two-way icebreaking technology.
【Case background】
The "Xuelong 2" polar research ship is independently built by China and is the first polar scientific research icebreaker in the world to obtain the intelligent ship classification mark. It is also the first icebreaker in the world to adopt bow and stern two-way icebreaking technology. It is of great significance for improving the on-site security and support capabilities of human polar expeditions. The "Xuelong 2" polar research vessel has been under construction since September 2017 and was officially delivered in July 2019. Orwell participated in the project in 2017, supplying lifting hooks for the "Xuelong 2" polar research vessel.


[Project Difficulties]
The entire Antarctic is covered by thick ice sheets. The average temperature across the continent is about -25°C, and the extreme lowest temperature has reached -93.2°C. The "Snow Dragon 2" polar research ship operates in such a cold environment. Each of its supporting facilities must have excellent low-temperature resistance, which requires that the hook provided must have strong anti-cold deformation capabilities.
