Specification research notes

DeepOcean page lists both approximately 900 m² and 850 m² deck areas; existing 850 m² field remains qualified. Official PDF link was identified but it could not be read during this review; SAT depth remains unresolved, not inferred from generic rescue equipment.

i100 diving bells delivered

DRASS shipped two i100 diving bells for Oriental Dragon in early August 2017 and identified its 100-Series diving system and i100 automation onboard. Its team then attended the commissioning kick-off at CSSC Huangpu.

Delivery and commissioning-start milestone; it does not by itself prove completion or present system readiness.

2019 system-classification announcement

DRASS announced that Oriental Dragon’s installed 100-Series system had received DSV Sat and Surface class notation from DNV-GL.

Inspection & class records

0 records

These are historical records within each source’s coverage. Missing records are not a clean bill of health, and class descriptions do not prove current certification.

No verified records are available in this section of the collection.

Research coverage & limitations (1)

A complete inspection history has not been verified. No inference of a clean inspection record or current certification should be made from missing records.

Project history

1 record

Vessel-specific events and contextual project records retain their dates and limitations. A regional contract award alone does not establish vessel employment.

Reactivation reported in progress

DRASS’s public company post describes Oriental Dragon’s reactivation for Shelf Subsea as ongoing, with a 24-person i100 system, automated twin bells and a three-diver air/nitrox spread.

The accessible post supplies no absolute publication date. This is a historical project-status statement, not confirmation of completion or a current operator assignment.
