Jiangsu Keda's new wind power installation ship project passed the appraisal

It is reported that Jiangsu University of Science and Technology's "new self-propelled self-elevating offshore wind power installation ship design and key technology research" project recently passed the identification of the Ministry of Education expert group.
The self-propelled and self-elevating offshore wind power installation work ship is a complex of ship and offshore platform. It integrates the functions of loading, transporting, lifting and dynamic positioning of offshore wind turbines. It is a brand-new marine engineering equipment. After several years of exploration, the relevant research group of Jiangsu University of Science and Technology has made new breakthroughs in its ship design and key technology research: it has proposed an ultra-shallow draught self-propelled self-elevation with independent intellectual property rights and the ability to work under water conditions of 0 to 25 meters. The ship type design scheme of the wind power installation ship: Breaking through the key technologies such as the hull structure design and the self-lifting device design of the hull body, solving the technical problem of safe and reliable lifting of the hull platform; optimizing the layout of the special crane and improving the effective lifting load More than 40%; developed a high-pressure air-blasting device for pile legs, which greatly improved the working efficiency; developed a floating seawater and ballast water combined cooling water supply device to solve the problem of marine diesel engine cooling.
The research results have reached the international advanced level. At present, it has been promoted and applied in shipbuilding enterprises such as Nantong COSCO Shipyard Engineering Co., Ltd., which has reduced the single ship construction cost of these enterprises by 6%, and achieved good economic and social benefits.
