The world's biggest pile-driving vessel, being built in the county-level city of Qidong – administered by Nantong in East China's Jiangsu province – will soon be completed and delivered to its owners.

With a length of 124 meters and a width of 39 m, the vessel will be used to hammer in metal piles for the construction of the foundations of giant offshore wind power turbines, among other things. [Photo/ntfabu.com]

After completion, it will become a dedicated pile-driving engineering ship with the highest pile frame height, the strongest capacity for driving in the piles, with the highest wind and wave resistance of its kind in the world.

The pile-driving vessel is seen as a great tool, made by the Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industries Qidong Marine Engineering Co Ltd that will improve the nation's core competitiveness for infrastructure and offshore wind power equipment installation. [Photo/ntfabu.com]
