Recently reported by the People's Daily, this groundbreaking vessel is not only the largest of its kind globally but also marks China's first foray into LNG dual-fuel technology. The main engine, auxiliary generator, and boiler of the "New Sea Sturgeon" are all designed as LNG dual-fuel systems. Utilizing a state-of-the-art "power control center," the vessel employs a "one tow two" composite drive mode to effectively meet its power requirements across various operational scenarios including sailing, dredging, mud disposal, and shore blowing.
When operating in gas mode, the dredger significantly reduces nitrogen oxide emissions by 80% and carbon dioxide emissions by 20%, while completely eliminating sulfur oxide and particulate matter emissions. This advanced design ensures compliance with IMO Tier III emission standards.
