On September 19, 2024, Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industries (ZPMC) marked a significant milestone with the official delivery of China’s first LNG dual-fuel powered trailing suction hopper dredger, the "Xin Hai Xun."

With a hopper capacity of 16,808 cubic meters, the "Xin Hai Xun" is powered by a sophisticated LNG dual-fuel system which includes a 1,550 cubic meter LNG tank. The state-of-the-art power control center ensures that the dredger meets the power requirements in various working conditions, including navigation, dredging, sludge disposal and sand filling, using a "one-to-two" combined propulsion mode. The vessel's ability to switch between LNG and conventional fuel sources for its main engine, generators, and boilers allows it to dramatically reduce emissions—lowering nitrogen emissions by 80% and carbon dioxide by 20%, while also eliminating sulphur oxide and particulate matter. This compliance with the International Maritime Organization's (IMO) Tier III standards exemplifies the vessel’s contribution to environmentally responsible maritime operations.

The vessel also features China's most sophisticated and intelligent One-Click Dredging and Dredging-Driving Integration systems, marking a first in the country by enabling unmanned dredging under typical conditions. The integrated smart management platform incorporates a range of systems, including smart cabins, navigation and energy efficiency management, which significantly enhance the ship's overall intelligent management capabilities. This results in more efficient operations, greater construction productivity and safer navigation.

With its delivery, the "Xin Hai Xun" will primarily serve in dredging, reclamation, and coastal maintenance across multiple coastal ports and deepwater channels, playing a pivotal role in advancing the environmentally responsible transformation of the dredging sector. Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industries (ZPMC) is committed to expanding its capabilities in high-tech equipment manufacturing and continues to deepen its collaborations with global partners. Through these efforts, ZPMC aims to strengthen its research and development in core technologies and create more advanced and efficient equipment.
