MV Xue Long

''Xuě Lóng'' (; literally ''Snow Dragon'') is a Chinese icebreaking research vessel. Built in 1993 at Kherson Shipyard in Ukraine, she was converted from an Arctic cargo ship to a polar research and re-supply vessel by Hudong-Zhonghua Shipbuilding of Shanghai by the mid-90s. The vessel was extensively upgraded in 2007 and was expected to go through another upgrade in 2013, but it is not known if the latter refit was carried out.
, ''Xuě Lóng'' is the only Chinese icebreaking research ship in service. A second Chinese polar icebreaker, slightly smaller but more capable than ''Xuě Lóng'', is currently at the design stage and is expected to enter service in 2016.〔(China to build new icebreaker for polar research expeditions ).

The ship was originally powered by a single〔 8-cylinder BMZ 8DKRN60/195 low-speed two-stroke diesel engine, a licence-built version of B&W 8L60MC, producing . During the 2013 refit, the main engine was replaced with an equally powered Wärtsilä 6RT-flex60C diesel engine.〔 The main engine is coupled to a ducted controllable-pitch propeller.〔(La Chine s'intéresse à l'Arctique et à l'Antarctique — Textes Gilles Barnichon & Françoise Massard / Photos Agence Adhemar ).〕 In open water, ''Xuě Lóng'' can achieve a maximum speed of while in ice she can proceed at . Her ice class, assigned by the China Classification Society (CCS), is B1.〔(A Brief Introduction of R/V Xuelong ). Chinese Arctic and Antarctic Administration. 〕
''Xuě Lóng'' has a crew of 34 and can accommodate 128 researchers or passengers. She has of laboratory space. In addition to a Kamov Ka-32 "Xueying" (Snow Eagle) helicopter, the ship also carries an Arctic class ARV autonomous underwater vehicle on a regular basis.
