(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Wärtsilä Corporation, Press release, 14 July 2015 at 10 am EET
A contract has been signed with the Tianjin Dredging Company, part of the China
Communication Construction Company (CCCC) and the recently founded Dredging
Group, under which Wärtsilä will supply the engines and all essential
ancillaries for a new self-propelled cutter dredger. The vessel will be one of
the largest and most advanced vessels of its type in the world, and will become
CCCC Tianjin's flagship. The ship is being built at the Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy
Industries shipyard in China. The contract was signed in June.
"We have a strong relationship with Wärtsilä and we are confident that they can
provide the technology and support needed to make this project a success," says
Mr G.M Liu Chang Yun, Ship New Building Management Department, Tianjin Dredging
Company of CCCC.
The Wärtsilä scope of supply, which includes three 16-cylinder Wärtsilä 32
engines, also features a thoroughly planned interface to the external systems
including the latest Wärtsilä Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) system.
Wärtsilä's CBM and Remote Monitoring solutions support the daily operation of
the installation by applying the company's experience and operational know-how
to keep the thermal and mechanical load at an optimum level. They also enable
savings in fuel consumption, while simultaneously providing greater
environmental sustainability.
"This ship will be one of the largest and most modern self-propelled cutter
suction dredger ever built, and the biggest in the world in terms of pump
capacity. Reliability and operational efficiency are, therefore, essential and
we are proud that Wärtsilä solutions have been selected to achieve these
requirements," says Mr Hans Laheij, Area Sales Director, Wärtsilä Ship Power.
The 140 metre long vessel will have a maximum dredging depth of 35 metres with a
cutter power of up to 7500 kW. It is scheduled to be delivered in October 2017.
Wärtsilä and CCCC have a long term strategic cooperation agreement, signed on
April 1(st) 2014, under which the companies work closely together on more
efficient power and propulsion configurations. The aim of this agreement is to
create solutions for CCCC's newbuildings that maximise their environmental
sustainability and cost efficiency.
