10,000-ton hospital ship on maiden medical visit at sea - China.org.cn

"Peace Ark" is the world's only professional hospital ship of 10,000-ton class. It represents a new generation of a maritime emergency medical support platform independently designed and developed by China. Its medical equipments equal that of hospitals on land.

Amid war, it can provide initial treatments as well as some special treatments for injured soldiers and medical support for fleet forces. Normally, it carries out medical and rescue exercises at sea, provides medical services for fleets and troops stationed at remote islets, and performs humanitarian rescue and relief missions at sea.

The hospital ship provides medical services for not only the army, navy, air force, frontier police force, and armed police force stationed at the coastal islands, but also for fishery administration staff on duty stationed at the Xisha Islands and Nansha Islands, fishermen, and residents living on coastal islands that have long been in want of medical services and medicine.

Medical staff on the hospital ship will use the equipment on the ship to perform safe surgical operations for patients. Even if they come across difficult or special cases, they can use the distance consultancy system of the hospital ship to get technical support from an expert group of the Navy General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army (PLA).

The new-type missile speedboat

  A new-type missile speedboat that is equipped with advanced missile and anti-electromagnetic interference system has evoked the extensive concerns of domestic and foreign military experts since its début in 2004. Although small in size, it is characterized in fast speed, strong firepower and excellent stealth capability. It has become a trump card in resisting against the enemy's threat in coastal waters.
