Construction begins on world’s first 100,000-tonne intelligent fish farming vessel in Qingdao

Construction of the world's first 100,000-tonne large-scale fish farming ship started in Qingdao of East China's Shandong Province on Saturday, pioneering a new mode of industrial farming with "movable fish farms" on distant seas.

Funded by the state-owned Qingdao Conson Development Group Co, the vessel, named Guoxin No.1, is expected to be delivered in March 2022 and will conduct fish farming far from China's shores, supplying near limitless farmed fish without polluting the environment.

The world's first 100,000-tonne intelligent large-scale fish farming vessel is of great practical significance to China in carrying out intelligent aquaculture and expanding its distant-water deep-sea mariculture space, said Zhang Xianliang, director of the Bureau of Fisheries under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, Xinhua News Agency reported on Saturday.

The Conson Group plans to invest in the construction of an aquaculture armada consisting of 50 such ships with a gross tonnage of 100,000 tonnes each, which are expected to annually produce about 200,000 tonnes of seawater fish with an annual output value exceeding 11 billion yuan ($1.68 billion).
