China is making significant strides in its offshore aquaculture initiatives with the construction of the “Guoxin 2-1,” a cutting-edge 150,000-ton intelligent fishing vessel. Built in Qingdao, a prominent port city, this vessel is being developed by Guoxin China Shipbuilding Qingdao Marine Technology and is slated to become operational by 2025.

In the vast and dynamic maritime industry, ensuring the safety and stability of vessels during docking and mooring operations is of paramount importance. Mooring bollards, often overlooked, play a crucial role in securing ships to docks, wharfs, or quays. These robust, fixed structures are essential components of maritime infrastructure, providing a secure point for mooring lines to anchor vessels. This article explores the importance, design, installation, maintenance, and safety considerations of mooring bollards in the maritime industry.

The highly anticipated Beijing International Ocean Engineering Technology and Equipment Exhibition (China Maritime, or CM), is set to return in 2025, promising to be the largest gathering of offshore and marine industry professionals in Asia. Scheduled for March 26-28, 2025, at the China International Exhibition Center (New Venue) in Beijing, CM 2025 will be held concurrently with the China International Petroleum & Petrochemical Technology and Equipment Exhibition (cippe), creating a powerhouse event for the global energy and maritime sectors.

The defiant roar of "My fate is decided by myself" from Ne Zha 2 isn’t just a battle cry for a mythical hero—it’s the silent anthem of every anchor chain lying beneath the waves.

A sand anchor is a type of anchor specifically designed for securing boats, tents, or other equipment in sandy conditions, such as beaches or dunes. It operates by utilizing the unique properties of sand to provide stability and resistance against pulling forces.

A stingray anchor, also called dual shank anchor, is a specific type of anchor designed for use in various marine environments, particularly sandy or muddy bottoms. It derives its name from its unique shape, which resembles the shape of a stingray fish.

Another point to consider when choosing an anode is what type of water the boat will be used in. Generally, according to the salinity, it can be divided into salt water, brackish water, and pure fresh water.

It's hard to pick a winner right now. Magnesium provides the highest voltage, but aluminum lasts longer (5 times more than magnesium) and aluminum anode alloys are slightly more active than zinc.

The three most reactive materials used for sacrificial anodes are zinc, aluminum, and magnesium, which have different properties and uses.
