Design and application of moonpool system in polar icebreaker Xuelong 2
ObjectiveIn the polar regions, the operation mode of launching and recovering detection and sampling devices for scientific research by shipside is limited due to dense ice floes around the ship. To achieve the smooth acquisition of data records and samples in densely packed ice floe regions, a squa...
