Royal IHC will design and deliver the complete dredge installations for two new LNG-powered trailing suction hopper dredgers (TSHDs) for Van Oord.
The two dredge installations are going to be delivered for the two 10,500 m3 TSHDs that Van Oord is currently building in Singapore.
Integrated Dredging Equipment
The order includes two suction pipe installations with integrated submerged dredge pump unit, four additional shore discharge dredge pumps and six jet pumps in total. The installations are custom-built with state-of-the-art technology and are fully integrated into the design of the vessel.
Curve Technology
The pumps are equipped with the latest Curve technology. The Curve impeller, with its innovative shape and blade curvature, ensures that the pumps perform with excellent suction properties over the prolonged lifetime of the product.
Intensive Collaboration
This order is a result of intensive collaboration between the project teams of Van Oord and IHC as the design is tailored to the specific requirements of Van Oord. The design team managed to find the optimum balance between weight, robustness and ease of maintenance.
