The 6,500m3 ship with a cutter power of 5,200 kW has been designed by the Design & Research Institute of Ship and Ocean Engineering at Shanghai Jiaotong University.
The vessel will be fitted with four 12-cylinder Wärtsilä 32 medium-speed engines, two of which will be used to drive the dredging pump. For this application the 6,000 kW engines will run at 775 rpm instead of 750 rpm. The Wärtsilä machinery is scheduled to be delivered in August 2015.
