Also known as: FU YANG, KARADENIZ POWERSHIP ALPER BEY, CREST ANGELICA, CPC ANGELICA
FU YANG 9 is an offshore support and pipe-laying vessel built in 2012 and now operating under the Chinese flag. According to historical registry data, she has previously traded under several names including CPC ANGELICA, CREST ANGELICA, KARADENIZ POWERSHIP ALPER BEY and FU YANG before taking her current name, and she is presently owned by FULAN TIANJIN MARINE SERVICE with FULAN OFFSHORE ENGINEERING CO. as commercial and ISM manager. Technically, the vessel is classified as a pipe layer and support vessel within the oil-service segment, suited to subsea construction and pipeline installation work rather than conventional cargo trades. Public databases describe her as a dedicated pipe-layer/support vessel rather than a general cargo ship, which positions her firmly in the offshore construction and maintenance fleet. AIS tracking and port-call records show FU YANG 9 working mainly in the Malaysian Exclusive Economic Zone with frequent calls at Kemaman and Tanjong Berhala and earlier activity around Hong Kong, indicating a regional focus on Southeast Asian offshore fields. In practice, she is deployed on offshore oil-service and pipe-lay projects, supporting subsea infrastructure installation and related marine construction tasks in this area.
