South Korean shipyard, Hanwha Ocean Co. Ltd., has ordered 4 engines in connection with the construction of 2 LNG carriers for an undisclosed shipowner.
The cutter suction dredger will remove build-up sediment from the key shipping channels in the Demerara River, increasing navigational depths ensuring safe and efficient vessel traffic.
When completed, REV Ocean will conduct research covering the entire marine ecosystem, from the coastal zone to abyssal depths, and from polar regions to the tropics.
These boats are designed for operation at the port of Benete in West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, and will mainly be used for handling mooring lines for large LNG ships
The vessel is an electric Commissioning Service Operation Vessel (eCSOV) that will be constructed by Armon shipyard in Spain for the UK-based shipowner Bibby Marine Ltd.
The 136-metre sailing cargo vessel, the result of nearly a decade of development, marks the advent of a new generation of commercial vessels prioritising wind propulsion.
This fully electrified vessel runs and operates emission-free, which is a first in the dredging industry. The results of the pilot project offer valuable insights that will help the industry operate completely emission-free in the future.
