December 20, 2016 10 a.m. at 8 minutes, China's first independent scientific expedition polar shipbuilding icebreaker in southern shipbuilding (Group) completed the first piece of steel ignition cut, officially started construction. According to the construction plan, the new ship is expected to be completed in 2019.

The new ship construction project was organized by the China Polar Research Center under the State Oceanic Administration, and Jiangnan Shipbuilding (Group) co.. The ship's captain 122.5 meters, 22.3 meters wide, 7.85 meters draft draft design, design a displacement of about 13990 tons, speed 12 ~15, endurance 20 thousand sea miles, holding force 60 days carrying 90 members. The strength of the structure meets the PC3 requirements, with two-way icebreaking capabilities, heading in the 0.2 metres thick snow covered 1.5 meters thick ice from 2 to 3 knots for ice..
It is reported that the ship from Finland Aker Arctic Technology Co. Ltd. is responsible for basic design and detailed design for the group of seventh O eight Research Institute, Jiangnan Jiangnan Shipbuilding Institute is responsible for part of the detailed design and full production design. The design of the ship's integration of technical and functional requirements of a new generation of international research vessel and the concept of environmental protection, the bidirectional ice breaking international advanced ship design (both fore and aft, and has the function of breaking) and collision icebreaking rotary electric propulsion, can rotate freely within the range of 360 degrees to achieve the polar place, and can break the region 20 meters when Bing Bing ridge, greatly improve the ship maneuverability, meet global world-wide demand.

At the same time, the new ship will be equipped with international advanced marine investigation and observation equipment, realize the high integration and it is committed to creating a system research, in our country to carry out an important platform based on polar marine environment and natural resources research, scientific research personnel can carry out the polar ocean, sea ice, air in the boat and other comprehensive investigation of environmental foundation of observation. Comprehensive observation of marine environmental samples related to climate change, in the investigation of oil and gas resources, biological resources to carry out the polar ice ocean, the new ship basically have "investigation ability to touch the bottom edge and potential evaluation".

Chinese Polar Research Center Director Yang Huigen said, China's first self built polar expedition icebreaker officially started, marking China's polar and polar marine security investigation capabilities to a new level. Over the years China's polar expedition Snow Dragon ship combat history, new ship Snow Dragon ship together with icebreaker fleet, to carry out various combinations of more polar ocean survey security, which will greatly promote the scientific research in our country, accelerate the construction process of polar investigation power.
