![]() ![]() The dredger is also equipped with a Caterpillar C18 emergency generator with a rated power output of 425kW, and a 730kW fixed-pitch tunnel thruster. The energy-efficient diesel-electric propulsion system will reduce fuel burn. The primary power generation plant also includes two 3,400kW main shaft generators and a GE 6L250 auxiliary generator producing 1,423kW. The TSHD is powered by two GE 16V250 main diesel engines, which produce 5,682bhp each. The efficient electrical and dredging systems onboard the vessel will increase fuel savings and reduce emissions. The booster pump will have a power rating of 1,600kW, while the rated power of the dredge and jet pumps will be 1,600kW and 445kW respectively. “The DP / DT system, in combination with the IHC economic pump control system, will increase the efficiency of the vessel, while enhancing hopper loading and unloading processes.” It will also enable the ship to negotiate the varying forces generated by dredging and interaction with the sea floor, allowing it to accurately maintain its dredging track, course and speed. The DP / DT system, in combination with the IHC economic pump control system, will increase the efficiency of the vessel, while enhancing hopper loading and unloading processes. The vessel is equipped with IHC’s dynamic positioning / dynamic tracking (DP / DT) system. The TSHD vessel will be able to operate for 30-day periods and accommodate up to 13 crew members, including technicians, to repair equipment onboard the vessel. The vessel has a length of 108.5m (356ft), a beam of 24.2m (79.6ft) and a shallow draft of 7.7m (25.3ft), which will allow it to operate in a wide range of areas, including coastal zones and interior waterways. It is classified under Lloyd’s Register, +100A1 Hopper Dredger, +LMC, and UMS notations. The dredger has been designed to deliver optimum speed, capacity and efficiency. Each block was built separately using CNC-routed steel pieces and all blocks were welded together to form the hull of the vessel. The hull of the dredger is made of multiple blocks. ![]()
