Open Water Tank of the Test Facility

    The open water tank of the test facility measures 120 meters in length, 60 meters in width, and has an average depth of 2 meters, providing optimal conditions for conducting model tests of medium- and large-scale ships. Located in Minhang District, Shanghai, the facility benefits from convenient transportation and comprehensive supporting infrastructure, and maintains close collaboration with shipbuilding enterprises and marine research institutions in the Yangtze River Delta region, offering geographical support for industry-academia-research synergy and innovation. Since its commissioning, the facility has successfully provided critical testing services for over ten types of ships, substantiating its scientific and technological support capabilities through tangible outcomes.

    The MARIC Open Water Tank Test Facility is not merely an advanced test site, but a comprehensive scientific research platform integrating Measurement, data analysis, and engineering validation. It shortens the cycle from theoretical design to full-scale ship validation, reduces R&D costs, and provides a solid foundation for enhancing China's ship performance and achieving technological breakthroughs.

    In the future, the facility will continue to uphold the principles of "Precision, Innovation, Openness, and Collaboration," continuously optimize test technologies, expand service domains, and deepen cooperation with domestic and international ship research institutes, universities, and manufacturing enterprises to jointly advance the development of ship technology.
