Ro-ro passenger ship is a ship with dual functions of traffic and transportation. The lower deck is mainly used for transporting vehicles, and the upper space provides accommodation and entertainment services for tourists. The ship has a total of 13 decks, 533 rooms, and can accommodate 2,500 passengers at full load. The ship is equipped with a 4-story garage that can carry more than 800 vehicles of various types. The ro-ro passenger ship is equipped with an extremely low power engine system and a liquefied natural gas interface. It can not only achieve a high-speed navigation of up to 25 nautical miles/hour with extremely low fuel consumption, but also use liquefied natural gas as a power fuel as needed to further reduce the emission of ship pollutants. This ship is the first ro-ro passenger ship of its kind in the world to obtain the three-stage energy-saving and environmental protection indicators of EEDI (Energy Efficiency Design Index).

The timing system equipped on the ro-ro passenger ship is the Polaris ship master and slave clock system developed and produced by Yantai Clock and Watch Research Institute Co., Ltd. This technology is the first of its kind in China and has reached the advanced level of similar international products. It has passed CCS type approval, and the master clock controls the slave clock to run synchronously. It uses external standard time signals such as GPS/Beidou to automatically calibrate the time, automatic AC/DC switching power supply, interface diversity and standardization, etc. The system has a high degree of automation, strong interconnection and interoperability, high timekeeping accuracy, and convenient and fast operation and maintenance. The system can withstand the influence of various harsh environments such as temperature, humidity, shock, vibration, salt spray, electromagnetic radiation, etc. at sea, ensuring 100% accurate time. The multi-layer backup system ensures the stability and safety of the system, providing protection for the navigation of the largest ro-ro passenger ship built independently in China.

This technology unifies the time standard of the time system, with higher accuracy and wider application range. The system has been widely used in Chinese naval ships and ocean-going survey ships, large containers, bulk carriers and various high-end multi-functional offshore vessels for many years, and has an absolute advantage in the field of sailing ships.
Inheriting history and creating the future is the glorious mission given to Polaris by the times. Today in the 21st century, we will uphold this historical mission, and under the inspiration of the corporate spirit of people-oriented, technology-first, continuous improvement and continuous transcendence, we will continue to provide domestic and foreign customers with clock products with advanced technology, exquisite appearance and reliable quality, so as to serve customers, benefit society and create brilliance together.
