FAQ 1: What is the maximum operational dredging depth and hopper capacity of the 17000M3 TSHD?
A: The 17000M3 TSHD features a substantial hopper capacity of 17,000 cubic meters, optimized for high-volume channel dredging and filling operations. The vessel is engineered to achieve a maximum dredging depth of 45 meters. Performance data indicates that the 17000M3 TSHD can reach a depth of 35 meters in approximately 90 minutes and its maximum dredging depth of 45 meters in roughly 115 minutes. This deep-digging capability, combined with the large mud tank capacity, allows the 17000M3 TSHD to operate efficiently in demanding Dredging Projects requiring significant sediment removal at depths up to 45 meters.


FAQ 2: What are the propulsion and power specifications driving the 17000M3 TSHD's performance?

A: The 17000M3 TSHD is powered by a robust dual-engine compound drive system, utilizing two German MAN main engines (Model 8L48/60CR), each delivering 8,900 kW (totaling 19,991 kW installed power). This high-power configuration drives adjustable pitch propellers with guide hoods, enabling the 17000M3 TSHD to maintain a free sailing speed of approximately 15 to 16 knots. The propulsion system, integrated with American Caterpillar generator sets for auxiliary power, ensures the 17000M3 TSHD has sufficient thrust for self-navigation during transit and precise maneuverability during dredging operations at various digging depths.


FAQ 3: How does the 17000M3 TSHD manage sediment discharge and offshore operational range?

A: Equipped with 24 hydraulic bottom mud doors, the 17000M3 TSHD ensures rapid and controlled sediment discharge during filling operations. The vessel supports versatile disposal methods, including bottom dumping, bow spraying (up to 200 meters), and bow blowing via a 1000mm pipeline capable of reaching distances up to 5 kilometers (with effective operation noted at 4,000 meters from shore). Driven by Dutch IHC dredging equipment and high-pressure centrifugal mud Pumps (7.0 m³/s digging flow), the 17000M3 TSHD maximizes production efficiency for channel dredging. Its fuel capacity of 1,688 m³ supports an endurance of 30 days, allowing the 17000M3 TSHD to sustain prolonged offshore dredging cycles without frequent refueling.
