The invention discloses a self-propelled self-elevating
mariculture ship and an operation method thereof, and relates to the field of ocean
engineering equipment design. The self-propelled self-elevating
mariculture ship is characterized in that net cages are connected with a
hull through net racks, and lifting and fixing of the net cages are achieved by using a net cage lifting and locking
system. In the culture state, the culture ship
hull is supported at a certain height above the water surface through multiple
pile legs, the
hull is prevented from being directly acted by wave current loads, and shaking of the hull is reduced; after culture is finished or when
typhoon needs to be avoided, the hull is lowered to a floating state through a lifting
system, the
pile legs are folded, and moving navigation is achieved through a propelling and
steering system; compared with a floating type culture ship,
corrosion caused by the fact that the hull floats in
seawater can be relieved, fatiguedamage of the
hull structure under the long-term action of wave flow is avoided, and hull shaking is small; the self-propelled self-elevating
mariculture ship has the self-propelled characteristic, and the maneuverability of net
cage culture is greatly improved; and the net cages can be prevented from bearing huge
wave force on the water surface, shaking of net cage systems is reduced, and the
structural safety of the net cage systems is improved.
