Ingeteam is entering 2020 with the great news. Our business presence in China is getting stronger and we are proud to announce that Galileo Galilei, the 18,000m3 Trailing Suction Hopper Dredger, owned by Jan De Nul Group, was recently launched at COSCO Shipping Heavy Industry in Dalian, China. Ingeteam started the collaboration with COSCO Dalian in 2018 signing the contract for Galileo Galilei, which became a powerful start that brought us more partnership opportunities and projects we are currently working on with COSCO Group.

Galileo Galilei, the remarkable hopper dredger, is in fully diesel-electric execution, all main drives are electrically driven via frequency converters, which allows each system to run at its optimal operation point, resulting in lower fuel oil consumption, and lower emissions. Power is generated by three diesel-driven generator sets. A-symmetric load sharing, ‘fuel-mapping’, and automatically starting/stopping the engines allow reduction of fuel consumption and emissions. In addition, the dredger is equipped with a SCR exhaust gas treatment system complying with the IMO TIER 3 and the European Stage V regulations.
Ingeteam´s scope of supply for the main electrical system is:
