China's first self-built multifunctional offshore engineering ship begin operations on Mar 6, 2015

China's first self-built multifunctional offshore engineering ship began operations on Mar 6, 2015. The ships Offshore Oil 286 and Offshore Oil 291, able to operate 3,000 meters under the ocean surface, belonged to China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC), the country's largest offshore oil and gas producer. 

Offshore Oil 286 was the country's first self-built multifunctional offshore engineering ship and Offshore Oil 291 was the first large deep-water trenching vessel in the country. The launching of these two ships filled in the blank of China's deep-water construction equipment and elevated CNOOC's position as a general contractor in world ocean engineering.
