h. Suction pipe/discharging pipe diameter: 800/750mm

i. Two trailing suction pipes with three lifting points

j. Totally 14 hopper doors of 3000mm, in two lines

k. Full loaded navigation speed: 12kn,  Dredging speed (two suction pipes dredge, converse water current speed 4kn): 2-2.5kn.

l. Complement: 33P

m: Navigation duration: 25days

n. Total power: 10922Kw

o. Hopper capacity coefficient: 0.41

p. Loaded soil coefficient: 0.653

q. Power coefficient: 1.535

r. Dredging operation type:

  When the soil is dredged into the hopper, the soil

  1. it can be dumped by hopper bottom doors.

  2. by hopper self-emptying system to do bow-ejection for pumping ashore

  3. by hopper self-emptying system, connect pipeline by fast-connection ball joint to do
