A nuclear-powered ship invented by five Chinese R&D engineering companies won the China Patent Award, media reported on Thursday.

According to China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA), the "nuclear-powered ship," patent from five Chinese ocean engineering companies, was selected to be awarded the China Patent Excellence Award, China Ship News reported.

Set by CNIPA and the World Intellectual Property Organization, the China Patent Award is the only governmental award in China to reward inventions and creations with patent rights.

This is not the first time China has revealed its development of a ship with nuclear power.

In June 2018, the China National Nuclear Corporation opened a public bidding to construct a nuclear-powered icebreaker support ship to open waterways in the polar region and provide electricity.

Military observers said that the construction of a nuclear-powered icebreaker support ship means China moved one step closer to a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.
