Deck Mounted Thruster Retrofitting Project On 80000 Tons Floating Terminal In Indonesia
It is retrofitting project for 80000 tons floating termindal in Balikpapan, indonesia, which can show our service ability, design ability and product quality. This floating terminal is a transit center for the coal, without engine. Ship owner used tugboat to move it. But ship owner think this way is not economical and high efficiency. They prefer to use 4 sets deck mounted Azimuth thruster to drive the huge terminal.
Our company sent the engineer to the floating terminal to check the installation position for the deck mounted thruster, faced many proprblem, the positions should keep some distance with the anchor chain, and it is very difficult to built an operating room under the deck on the old floating terminal.The engineer selected all problems and made best solution some months later.
Our designer team for thruster system in Netherland provided many times design plan to meet the ship owner requirements on speed , at begining they required 3 knots, finally increased to 5 knots.
The work of before sale lasted 6 months,many times negociating on the design and price. But we confirm the order finally at the begining of 2020,Our company's professional ability and patience was admitted by the ship owner.
