BEIJING, Jan. 29-- The PLA Navy sent the icebreaker Haibing (Sea Ice, Hull 722) to the Bohai Sea and the northern waters of the Yellow Sea to perform the 84th ice survey mission on January 25.
北京1月29日电 -- 1月25日，海军派出破冰船前往渤海及黄海北部海域执行第84次冰情调查任务。
Due to the cold front, the ice conditions in the Bohai Sea and the northern part of the Yellow Sea are deteriorating. As a result, maritime shipping, aquaculture and offshore oil and gas development have all been greatly affected.
近段时间以来，受冷空气影响，渤海及黄海北部海域冰情有进一步加重趋势，海上航运、水产养殖、油气开发等海上生产受到严重影响。
In order to obtain real-time data on maritime ice conditions and support the winter ice-breaking and disaster relief work, the PLA Navy’s icebreaker will conduct survey in 28 points in the waters of the Bohai Sea and the northern part of the Yellow Sea, with a total voyage exceeding 1,000 nautical miles for more than 100 hours.
为实时获取海上冰情资料，做好冬季破冰减灾工作，此次任务计划航时100余小时，总航程1000余海里，调查区域为渤海和黄海北部海域的28个站点。
Besides obtaining hydrological and meteorological data, the icebreaker will also carry out navigation training in complex sea conditions and sea area transferring training.
在获取水文气象数据的同时，破冰船还将组织部队开展复杂海况航行和转移海区训练。
It is learned that Haibing (Hull 722), the first ship of the domestically-built Type 272 icebreakers of the PLA Navy, started its military service in 2015, and mainly takes on the tasks of ice condition investigation, ice breaking and maritime search and rescue in ice zones in the waters of the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea.
据了解，执行此次任务的海冰722号破冰船2015年入列命名，主要承担以黄海、渤海海域为主的冰情调查、破冰引航和海上冰区搜救任务。
