Deep-sea trend of marine aquaculture and anchoring solutions
I. Deep-sea trend of global marine aquaculture
As the pressure on offshore resources increases globally, the marine aquaculture industry is accelerating its expansion into deep-sea areas. Pioneer countries in deep-sea aquaculture, represented by Norway and Chile, have achieved large-scale aquaculture in deep-sea environments through technological innovation and equipment upgrades. However, the core challenge facing deep-sea aquaculture lies in its adaptability to extreme sea conditions: the wind and waves in deep-sea areas are stronger, the flow rate is faster, and the seabed geology is complex, which puts higher demands on the anchoring system of the cage.
Key risks and requirements:
Dynamic sea condition response: The drastic changes in deep-sea wind and waves require the anchoring system to have higher fatigue resistance and dynamic stability.
Submarine geological adaptation: The deep-sea seabed may contain hard rock foundations, soft silt or mixed geology, and targeted anchoring solutions need to be designed.
Long-term reliability: Deep-sea aquaculture equipment needs to resist long-term environmental impacts such as seawater corrosion and biological attachment.
2. SME's deep-sea anchoring system solution
SME provides full-chain anchoring system support for deep-sea aquaculture with its integrated R&D, design and manufacturing capabilities. Its core advantages include:
Customized simulation anchoring system design：
Multi-dimensional environmental analysis: Based on the water depth, wind and wave level, perennial wind direction and seabed mud characteristics of the aquaculture area, the anchoring system layout is optimized through numerical simulation and physical experiments.
Dynamic load calculation:
Design the redundant strength of anchor chains and anchors for the instantaneous impact of deep-sea wind and waves to ensure safety under extreme working conditions.
Full-category mooring product production capacity
Anchor chain factory:
Annual production capacity of 20,000 tons, with gear anchor chains and gearless anchor chains, the maximum specification can be 150, the products are certified by the world's top ten classification societies such as LR, DNV, BV, ABS, etc., and support customized specifications and materials (such as high-strength steel, anti-corrosion coating).
Welding anchor factory:
