Description of SCO HID shipyard engineer's return visit to China desilting project

I. Project background

The "Dredging Sea Series" cutter suction dredger, delivered by SCO HID Shipyard to China Dredging Group in 2018, is now in service in the Bohai Bay Channel maintenance project. The equipment adopts a modular intelligent dredging system, equipped with 5200kW reamer power, and the maximum digging depth is 14 meters.

Second, the focus of technical return visit

1. Equipment operation evaluation

- Cumulative working hours exceeded 18,000 hours

- The failure rate of core components (hydraulic transmission system, PLC control system) is less than 15% of the design standard

- Sediment treatment efficiency is stable at 4500m³/h (design index 4300m³/h)

2. Upgrade the service content

- Install AI optimization system for dredging track

- Anti-corrosion transformation of hydraulic oil circuit (for high salt spray environment in Bohai Bay)

- Culture upgrade in the operation interface

3. Customer feedback

The technical assessment report issued by the project Department of China Dredging Group shows that:

- Equipment availability reached 98.7%

- 22% energy saving compared to conventional equipment

- Completed dredging of 230 million cubic meters in Caofeidian Port area

- Reduce Marine ecological disturbance by 45% (through precision positioning system)

4. Direction of follow-up cooperation

The two sides signed the "Intelligent Dredging Equipment Joint Laboratory Agreement", focusing on promoting:

Seabed geology real-time analysis system development

SCO HID Shipyard will continue to focus on technological innovation and product optimization, continuously improve product competitiveness and market share, and provide customers around the world with better products and more satisfactory services.
