Zhanjiang Bay Laboratory, a leading marine research institute in the Chinese mainland, unveiled its groundbreaking 'Zhanjiang Bay No.1' on March 28, 2025. The innovative floating aquaculture platform – the first globally to use dynamic positioning technology – promises to revolutionize sustainable marine farming practices.
Key features of the installation include:
Autonomous positioning systems that maintain optimal locations despite tides and currents
Integrated environmental monitoring for real-time water quality analysis
Energy-efficient hybrid power combining solar and wave energy
Modular design scalable for coastal regions across Asia
The platform's dynamic positioning capability addresses traditional aquaculture challenges, enabling stable operations in deep-sea environments while minimizing ecological impact. Industry analysts suggest this innovation could strengthen food security initiatives across developing coastal economies in Southeast Asia and beyond.
