China has launched its most advanced maritime patrol ship off the coast of Weihai City in eastern Shandong Province, said an official with the Ministry of Transport Sunday.

　　It is a 114-meter-long patrol vessel equipped with a helicopter.

　　Nicknamed "Haixun 11", the ship was completed Saturday.

　　It will be put into use in June, said Liu Gongchen, deputy director of the maritime bureau under the ministry.

　　The ship is capable of carrying out maritime search-and-rescue missions, monitoring coastal waters, and serving as a command post, he said.

　　The launch of the vessel would enable the country to expand its maritime patrol scope and have longer and more regular patrols.

　　"Haixun 11" can sail as far as 6,000 nautical miles (6,900 miles) on one fuel supply. Its top speed reaches more than 40 km per hour.

　　我国最大、装备最先进的3000吨级海事巡视船“海巡11”28日建成下水，轮船上装备着舰载直升机。将于今年6月列编，投入使用。

　　交通运输部海事局常务副局长刘功臣在此间介绍说，中国海事局从２００４年５月２０日开始进行北方海区千吨级巡视船的研究和论证工作。该巡视船总长１１４．４４米，排水量３２４９吨，续航力达６０００海里，自持力为４０天，航速２２节，并装备舰载直升机。其装备的信息监控系统，可锁定和跟踪多个目标，实施海上搜寻、海事监控和海上指挥等多项任务。

　　他指出，“海巡１１”的建成使用，将进一步拓展我国海事巡航范围，增加巡航时间和巡航频度，对于加强我国沿海水域（包括领海重点水域、毗连区及专属经济区）的监管，保障水上交通安全、保护海洋环境、维护国家主权具有重要意义。

　　他表示，随着我国加快大型海事执法船建造和巡航直升机配备，２０１５年我国海事监管能力可覆盖我国专属经济区以内水域。
