What is the name of the polar research icebreaker

The polar scientific research icebreaker is called Xuelong 2. It is China's first independently built polar scientific research icebreaker, which was delivered in July 2019 for use. Xuelong 2 is the world's first polar scientific research icebreaker to adopt two-way icebreaking technology at the bow and stern, capable of continuous icebreaking navigation in 1.5-meter-thick ice environments, which fills China's gap in the field of major equipment for polar scientific research.

Features of Polar Research Icebreaker

1. It conforms to the latest international standards. The new international polar rules are taken as the design guideline during the design, which makes it the first polar research vessel in the world to comply with the latest international rules.

2.High safety, through the structural design, it has a strong cold-proof ability and is also environmentally friendly.

3. Strong ice-breaking ability, it reaches PC3 level, and can continuously break ice and travel at 2-3 knots under the sea condition of 1.5 meters thickness of ice and 0.2 meters thickness of snow. Moreover, it adopts two-way ice-breaking design. When encountering difficult to "arch" ice ridges, the hull can be turned 180 degrees, so that the stern becomes the bow. The propeller at the rear can cut the ice under the sea surface and "hollow out" the 10-meter-high ice ridge, thus highlighting the siege.

4, intelligent, with intelligent cabin, easy to take off and land on the deck of the aircraft; through sensors and other equipment for the whole life of the hull monitoring, such as scraping with the ice, can be automatic warning.
