A video showcasing a groundbreaking vessel created by Taiwan's Lungteh Shipbuilding Company has captivated audiences across the island.

In the footage, the firefighting ship undergoes a remarkable test where it is deliberately flipped upside down in the water, only to swiftly self-right in under 10 seconds. This impressive feat, often seen in smaller lifeboats, has garnered significant attention.

Referred to as a "roly-poly" by numerous articles, drawing parallels to a tumbling toy, the ship has been specially commissioned by an undisclosed foreign client.

Renowned as a prominent private shipyard, Longde Shipbuilding Company is headquartered in Neihu, Taipei, with its Yilan County facility serving as a vital shipbuilding hub. The company has contributed to the construction of patrol boats for the Coast Guards of Hong Kong, the Philippines, Singapore, and Taiwan.
