The main hull of the FPSO is 351 meters long, with a molded width of 60 meters and a molded depth of 33 meters. The empty ship weight is nearly 70,000 tons, the full load displacement exceeds 460,000 tons, the maximum daily crude oil processing capacity is about 250,000 barrels, and the oil storage capacity reaches 2 million barrels. After delivery, it will be used for oil and gas development operations in various sea areas around the world, and can meet operating conditions in a wide range of marine environments. It is reported that the delivery of the world's largest "offshore oil and gas factory" to Chujiang has also attracted the attention of various departments. Because the FPSO ship is large in size and occupies a large area of ​​waterway for navigation, which exceeds the design ship size of the deep-water channel in the Jiangsu section of the Yangtze River, towing operations will have a greater impact on the navigation environment and ship navigation safety in the Jiangsu section of the Yangtze River. In order to ensure the smooth delivery of the FPSO, the Nantong Maritime Safety Administration collaborated with the Jiangsu and Shanghai Maritime Branches to deploy and plan "gathering efforts" in advance, organized a safety review meeting, improved the navigation safety plan, improved the emergency plan, and strengthened the whole process control. Maritime department staff go deep into the front line to "strengthen" safety guidance, urge ship repair and construction units to implement their main responsibilities for safety production, strengthen crew professional skills training, guide the conduct of firefighting, escape and other emergency drills, and truly implement wind prevention, fire prevention, collision prevention and other measures. At the scene of leaving the river, safety supervision measures such as coast patrol boat maintenance and drone air patrols were organized to remind passing ships to strengthen their lookouts to ensure that ships displayed correct signal patterns and that ships sailed in navigable waters in an orderly manner.
