Umcimbi wokwethulwa komshini wokudonsa uphethiloli omkhulu wokuqala emhlabeni kanye newokuqala waseChina we-double-fuel powered trailing suction hopper dredger (TSHD) i-Xin Hai Xun wenzeke e-Qidong, empumalanga yeSifundazwe sase-China sase-Jiangsu, ngesonto eledlule.
Ngomthamo wamandla ahlanzekile wegesi yemvelo (LNG) engama-cubic metres ayi-15,000, umkhumbi (oyalelwe yiCCCC Shanghai Dredging) unobude obungamamitha ayi-155.7, ububanzi obungamamitha angama-32, ukujula kwamamitha ayi-13.5, kanye nohlaka lwesakhiwo. ngo 9.9 m.
Lokhu kuhlanganiswe nomthamo omkhulu we-hopper ongu-17,000 cubic metres.
Uthuthukiswe ngokuzimela e-China, umkhumbi usebenzisa amandla ahlanzekile e-LNG njengomthombo wawo wamandla oyinhloko.Uma kwenzeka ukuthi izimo zokugcwalisa i-LNG azikwazi ukuhlangatshezwana nazo, umkhumbi ufakwe uhlelo lwamandla e-diesel oluyisipele.
Umkhumbi, owakhiwe yi-Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. (ZPMC), ubuye ufakwe ngobuchwepheshe besimanje, futhi uhlanganisa uhlelo lwaseChina “lokudonsa ukhiye owodwa”.
Lolu hlelo luvumela umkhumbi ukuthi usebenzise indlela “yokudonsa nokushayela endaweni eyodwa”, yenze kube lula ukusebenza “kokudonsa okungahleliwe” ngaphansi kwezimo ezijwayelekile zokusebenza.
Ihlelelwe ukulethwa ngoSepthemba 2024, i-Xin Hai Xun izosetshenziselwa ikakhulukazi ukudiliza, ukubuyisela kabusha, kanye namaphrojekthi okulungisa ugu emachwebeni asogwini kanye nemigudu yamanzi ajulile.
