Introduction of R/V Dong Fang Hong 2
Dong Fang Hong 2,aVessel of OUC used for comprehensive marine survey ,is 96 meters long and 15meters wide. The GRT3235 vessel with a draught of 5.5 meters can be usedfor comprehensive and systematic research in multi-disciplinesincluding hydrology, meteorology, physics, chemistry, biology, geology andgeophysics as well as for students’ fieldwork at thesea. “DONG FANG HONG 2” is one of the most advanced vessels for comprehensive marineinvestigation in China.
With the help of “DONG FANGHONG 2”,OUC has successively conducted joint research activities with theU.S.A., Candan , France,Japan and South Korea in the waters of Yellow Sea， Bohai Seaand East China Sea and successfully accomplished cooperative research programssuch as “Joint Investigation for Sino-Japan Subtropical Circulation”, “Sino-GermanResearch for Sustainable Development of Ecological System Dynamics andBiological Resources at Bohai Sea”, “Sino-British Joint Testing of Apparatus”, “Sino-AmericanCooperative Survey for Change of Some Routes at the Offshore in Shanghai”, and “Investigationof Environmental Geology in Northwest Pacific Ocean,etc..
“DONG FANGHONG 2” is also commissioned by Ocean University of China and otheruniversities to be used for the teaching and training of the student inmarine-related sciences.
