“凱桂”號(hào)輪是原龍穴造船于2008年建造并交付的華南最大油輪——30.8萬(wàn)噸的“新浦洋”輪的升級(jí)版，由廣州廣船國(guó)際股份有限公司、中國(guó)船舶及海洋工程設(shè)計(jì)研究院研發(fā)設(shè)計(jì)，并擁有自主知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)。該船全船長(zhǎng)333米，寬60米，甲板面積有4個(gè)足球場(chǎng)那么大，甲板面還設(shè)有直升機(jī)升降平臺(tái)，主甲板面積與我國(guó)“遼寧”號(hào)航空母艦相當(dāng)，但甲板長(zhǎng)度比“遼寧”號(hào)航空母艦（遼寧號(hào)：長(zhǎng)307米，寬70米）還要長(zhǎng)，滿載排水量是“遼寧”航空母艦的7倍，稱得上是真正的“海上巨無(wú)霸”。

“凱桂”號(hào)輪的上層建筑高7層，船總高度70多米。型深30.5米，設(shè)計(jì)吃水20.5米，貨艙深達(dá)27米，貨艙倉(cāng)容不少于360000立方米。該船航速為16.7節(jié)（31公里/小時(shí)），續(xù)航力約22000海里（4萬(wàn)多公里），相當(dāng)于繞地球赤道一圈中途也不用再加油。

其自動(dòng)化程度非常高，船上配備了目前最先進(jìn)自動(dòng)控制系統(tǒng)，可實(shí)現(xiàn)無(wú)人機(jī)艙、自動(dòng)導(dǎo)航，開(kāi)船只需27人就夠了。

China's largest oil tanker set to sail

The largest supertanker ever designed and built by a Chinese shipyard， Kai Gui， is about to start its maiden voyage. Designed by Guangzhou Shipyard International Co.， Ltd. （GSI） and Marine Design & Research Institute of China and built by GSI， the vessel is by far the most advanced super-large oil tanker in China， with a high level of automation and reliability in performance， featuring independent technology in design and construction.

Kai Gui， measuring 333 meters in length and 60 meters in width， is the upgraded version of Xin Pu Yang， the former greatest tanker in the country.As tall as a 23-story building， over 70 meters in height， Kai Gui has a large deck equaling the total area of four football fields with helicopter landing platform， while its displacement is 320，000 tons， around seven times that of Liaoning， the Chinese aircraft carrier. The supertanker is equipped with an advanced automatic navigation system， which enables it to sail 24 hours a day without manual operation， while it only needs 27 staff members. With a fuel range of over 40，000 kilometers， it can circumnavigate the globe via the equator without refueling.
