Upgrade of the old vessel, Xuelong, is on the cards: Officials

TIANJIN - As China's new icebreaker readies to set sail in 2014, the country might conduct expeditions to the North Pole every year in the near future, a senior official said.

The new icebreaker will improve China's capability in polar research, joining the older icebreaker, Xuelong, on China's Arctic and Antarctic research vessel, Li Yuansheng, deputy director of the Polar Research Institute of China and leader of the 28th Antarctic research expedition, told China Daily.

Li and his team started China's 28th Antarctic research expedition from Tianjin on Thursday.

Having only one icebreaker has always been a disadvantage in conducting the country's polar expeditions, especially when it comes to exploring the Arctic.

Qu Tanzhou, director of the Chinese Arctic and Antarctic Administration, confirmed at an earlier news conference that although China has carried out 27 Antarctic expeditions since 1984, there have been only four Arctic expeditions, as Xuelong used to be China's only icebreaker.

The new icebreaker will greatly enhance the scientific research ability in future polar expeditions, especially in the ocean area, Qu added.

China plans to launch five Antarctic research expeditions and three Arctic expeditions from this year until 2015. Compared with Arctic expeditions since 1999, the country's North Pole expedition plan during the period of the 12th Five-Year Plan (2011-2015) has dramatically increased.

Apparently the coming debut of the icebreaker will play an important role in accelerating China's pace in exploring the North Pole.

The new icebreaker with an estimated investment of 1.25 billion yuan ($2 million) can push through sea ice of more than 1.5-meter depth with 0.2-meter snow covering and its cruising radius reached 20,000 nautical miles, Li said.

After setting sail, the new icebreaker will conduct scientific research in ocean exploration and Xuelong will focus on delivering supplies, scientific research equipment and people to the polar stations, he added.

Qu said the new icebreaker will attract foreign scientists to participate in China's polar scientific research, strengthening China's capabilities in polar research expeditions.

"More icebreakers will be built in the long term," Qu said.

Xuelong is due for a technological upgrade in 2013 at an estimated cost of 200 to 300 million yuan, thus extending its service life to another 15 to 20 years, Huang Rong, the chief engineer of Xuelong, told China Daily.
