China-developed world's largest pile-driving ship heads to Brazil for bridge work

A China-developed pile-driving ship, the world's largest of its kind, departed from a port in east China's Jiangsu Province on Sunday and is heading for Brazil, where it will take part in the building of the cross-sea Salvador-Itaparica Bridge, the largest cross-sea cable-stayed bridge in Latin America.

With an operating water depth of 70 meters, a 156-meter pile frame and a pile-lifting capacity of 700 tonnes, the China-developed ship features the world's highest pile frame, largest pile-lifting capacity and deepest operating water depth, and can overcome the bottlenecks of traditional equipment in deep, far-offshore and complex sea conditions, according to the company.

Once the bridge is put into operation, it is expected to handle an average of about 28,000 vehicles a day. Travel time between Salvador and Vera Cruz is expected to be cut dramatically from the current one hour by ferry to just 15 minutes.
