Cummins Vessel Reference #763

In recent years, a number of shipyards in southern China have grown, not only in size, but also in the sophistication of the vessels that they are building. At the Guangzhou Hangtong Shipbuilding this is well illustrated by the 83.6 by 22-meter construction and accommodation design that they are building. With one of these big boats already delivered to a contract in Mexico, they were, in mid-March, putting the finishing touches on a sister ship.

Fitted with a four way mooring system, a hefty deck crane, a large clear after deck and a variety of other attributes, the vessel is well outfitted for marine construction work. The large exhaust stack for all engines, main and auxiliary, is mounted on the port side to allow for ease of crane work over the starboard side. This also allows space on the starboard side for a Zhejiang Hengxin Ship Equipment (HXN) rescue boat and davit. A pair of large HXN enclosed lifeboats are also mounted port and starboard.

The multi-decked superstructure is located well forward and provides accommodation in a variety of rooms for up to 200 people. A mess hall and galley suitable for this number is also located in the deckhouse.

The bridge is outfitted with all the latest in controls to provide operational status on the two Cummins QSK60-M main engines as well as the three Cummins KTA38-DM-powered electrical generators. The wheelhouse also has an extensive suite of navigational instruments. In addition to the forward console, an aft set of controls allows for safe use of the cranes and other construction utilities while giving the operator a clear view of the after working deck.

The large engine room space is located midships in the 7.2-meter deep hull. The three Cummins-powered 590 kW generator sets provide for the extensive electrical needs of the accommodation block as well as the deck cranes, bow thrusters and active stabalizers designed for the comfort of personnel. The twin Cummins QSK60-M main engines each produce 2200 horsepower at 1800 RPM and turn fixed-pitch propellers through Twin Disc MGX5600 gears with 5.76:1 reduction. One of the two main engines has a fire pump linked to the front of the engine with a power take-off.
