The dredging equipments of NGC become the main force in the industry
During Last Decade, the international dredging market has been in fierce competition. The construction scale is bigger and bigger, the requirements of technology, efficiency, cost and environmental protection are continuously improved a lot. With the demands of the larger scale of dredging equipments and expansion to the overseas markets, it is more and more urgent for China to need them. The gearboxes and propulsion system as the key parts of the ships are essential for the performance of the whole ship. However, the key technology is monopolized in Europe and blockaded by them, who only provided the whole ships and complete equipments to our country in order to receive high profits. Relying on importation has severely limited the development of dredging enterprises in China and can not meet the domestic demand and participate in the international competition. Therefore, it has become the consensus of the dredging industry that independent design and localization of key equipments can provide dredging technology guarantee for China to become a strong country .
Climbing up the summit step by step, striving after the perfection bit by bit. Through years of efforts by our staffs in the marine group of NGC, we have mastered some important techniques of gearboxes and transmission equipments of large scale dredge boats. Our technology started from R & D to the international leading level in the respects of the dredger reamer gearboxes, the underwater pump gearboxes, the under deck pump gearboxes, the traverse hoist gearboxes, transmission equipments and so on, and realized the nationalization of the key reducing and power equipments of the large scale dredge boats, e.g. with the capability of manufacturing the complete sets of gearboxes, power transmission and control system of self-propelled dredgers except for the main engine, and the equipments between the reamer heads and the prime motor of the cutter suction dredger. We have provided Shanghai Xingye with complete power system products including two sets of CPP, two sets of main propulsion gearboxes, the tunnel thruster and its control, and two units of under deck pump gearboxes for the “Xinghangjun 2” 8000 square drag suction dredger. The ship has been exported to Iraq with zero-defect for more than a year. In June 2013, the type of JDTS1350 underwater reamer gearbox and the gearbox of lower sizes have passed the identification of the experts of Nanjing Economic and Information Committee. This product added brilliance to NGC'sdredging products.
It has become famous for NGC Marine Group to pursuit the excellence technology and qualified dredging products, which has attracted more customers from home and abroad. NGC has taken technology as the core power, through continuous innovation to provide users with outstanding performance products and has won the unanimous approval of domestic and foreign customers. So far we have provided the products including the under water reamer gearbox and shafting and the underwater pump gearbox for the “Yunjun 2” 3500m3/h suction dredger of Lian Yun Gang Port Group Co., Ltd; the under deck pump gearbox, under water pump gearbox and reamer gearbox for the “Changshi 10” 4500m3/h suction dredger of Changjiang Yichang Waterway Engineering Bureau; the under water bucket wheel gearbox for “New Sea Eagle” 2700m3/h bucket wheel dredger of CCCC Shanghai Dredging Co., Ltd; the under water pump gearbox for the “New Sea Dog” 3500m3/h suction dredger of CCCC Shanghai Dredging Co., Ltd; the under water reamer gearbox for the “Hua Hang Jun” 6000m3/h suction dredger of Zhejiang Huahang Dredging Co., Ltd; the high pressure jet water pump gearbox for “Tong Heng” and “Tong Yuan” 11000m3drag suction dredger of CCCC Tianjin Dredging Co., Ltd; the traverse hoist gearbox for “Tian Qi” and “Tian Lin” 4500m3/h drag suction dredger of CCCC Tianjin Dredging Co., Ltd, and the under water reamer gearbox, under water pump gearbox and other dredging equipment for the 5000m3/h drag suction dredger of CRCC Harbour & Channel Engineering Bureau. Which reflected the designing ability of NGC to make dredging equipments, with the improvement of the design and accumulation, the product performance compared with similar foreign products, with more competitive advantages of cost-effective and convenient maintenance services and so on.
The new technology of dredging industry are more and more widely applied in the world. The development of large-scale engineering required dredging equipments to the direction of large scale, high efficient and automation. At the same time there are more strict environmental requirements for the dredging industry. Only if we keep continuous innovation, using new techniques and developing more competitive products, we can keep our market. NGC team has been emphasizing the technical team cultivation. There is a group of experienced technical staffs in the company, which are increasing investment in research funding annually. In 2013, through reviewed and site visited by the experts of Jiangsu Economic and Information Committee, the industrial design center of NGC Marine Group was awarded as provincial industry design center, which marked that our company has complete industry design and research conditions and infrastructure, and in which we can have the reliable guarantee to continually provide qualified products.
In the past few years, NGC Marine Group has achieved outstanding results in dredging industry. Along with the recovery of global economy, also steady recover in the shipping industry, which has good effects on marine industry and provided more application prospect and development space for dredging industry. Our marine group will keep improving our innovation ability and develop more high-end product for our customers. So far, many worldwide famous companies have visited us and expressed their cooperation intentions, which inspires us to make our best to work hard. We also believe that our marine group can distinguish itself and lead the dredging industry.
