Zhanjiang Bay 1, the world’s first floating, dynamically positioned cage-type aquaculture vessel, was officially commissioned in Zhanjiang, Guangdong province, on Wednesday. This groundbreaking vessel, developed by Jiangsu Dajin Heavy Industry Co., represents a significant leap in marine aquaculture technology. Designed for deep-sea operations, it combines floating aquaculture, autonomous navigation, typhoon avoidance, and green-energy self-supply capabilities. The vessel will operate approximately 30 nautical miles off Naozhou Island, initially focusing on pilot farming of large-sized yellow croakers, with plans to introduce golden pompano in 2026. Its success will determine batch-by-batch sales based on market conditions.
