recently, zhoushan cezi shipyard welcomed a partner who returned from america - cccc shanghai navigation bureau's "new sea tiger 9". after 57 days and 11,600 nautical miles, the "new sea tiger 9" completed the dispatch mission from rio de janeiro, brazil to zhoushan across the atlantic and indian oceans and returned to the motherland. at this time, it has been exactly ten years since it set off across the ocean.
in june 2012, the "new sea tiger 9" was delivered to wenchong shipyard. in order to participate in the "belt and road" construction, on july 31, 2014, after more than 50 days of sailing, it arrived at the port of montevideo, uruguay, passing through the pacific ocean, the panama canal, and the south atlantic ocean, starting a ten-year overseas "sea plowing" journey.
the "new sea tiger 9" self-propelled trailing suction dredger is 130.3 meters in length, 25.6 meters in width, 9.2 meters in depth, with two vehicles and two propellers, a total installed power of 14,153 kilowatts, a mud tank capacity of 10,004 cubic meters, and a maximum dredging depth of 35 meters. the "new sea tiger 9" can perform double-raking dredging operations, with bow blowing and bow spraying functions, and can be used for dredging projects in ports and waterways around the world. it can dig and blow silt, clay, dense medium and fine sand, coarse sand, gravel and pebbles, etc.
high-quality development has made remarkable achievements in the americas in the past decade
the sayago natural gas project in uruguay is the first project of the "new sea tiger 9" after arriving in south america. the channel is narrow, the slope water is shallow, the mud is transported over a long distance, and there are many ships entering and leaving the port... the new construction conditions need to be familiarized, and the unfamiliar language and social living environment also need to be adapted. all the crew members of the "new sea tiger 9" took the initiative to learn spanish in their spare time to overcome the language barrier. after more than a year of hard work, they successfully completed the dredging task of the sayago channel in uruguay, accumulating valuable experience for other projects in the future.
the estuary section of the waterway at the port of barranquilla in colombia has been the toughest bone to chew since the "new sea tiger 9" was put into local construction. the waterway is narrow, the water flow is fast, the flow direction is complex, and the construction is extremely difficult. during the construction period, it is necessary to constantly adjust the course, and if you are not careful, there will be dangers such as loss of control of the ship and running aground. in addition, there is a sunken ship near the south side of the construction area, and the north side is a shallow area, which requires extremely high maneuvering skills from the driver. it is necessary to be accurate on the line and always pay attention to changes in water flow and water depth. faced with such a daunting challenge, the team members analyzed the changes and laws of water flow at different construction locations by observing the construction trajectory of each ship, and formulated a variety of construction processes and emergency plans to ensure that the construction is carried out in an orderly and safe manner. the final completion date is much earlier than the original date.
in the past ten years of "ploughing the sea", the "new sea tiger 9" has implemented more than ten projects in five countries including uruguay, brazil, venezuela, nigeria and colombia.
high-quality development in america has produced many innovative talents
talents are also tempered and growing in the hot front line. in the 10 years overseas, "xinhaihu 9" has cultivated a group of excellent talents - 1 captain, 2 chief engineers, and many cadres and crew members; 1 captain was rated as a senior captain, 2 chief engineers were rated as senior chief engineers, 1 electrician won the first place in the electrician group in the cccc competition and received a district-level government subsidy, and 1 mechanic won the third place in the mechanic group in the cccc competition. these backbones are currently distributed in various fields of the company and contribute their strength.
now, the "new sea tiger 9" has returned to the embrace of the motherland. second mate yu chunyang sometimes takes out a video from his mobile phone that he took when he passed the cape of good hope on his way back to china: on the blue sea, a whale jumped out of the sea, then quickly dived, splashing waves several meters high, repeating this many times, as if saying goodbye to the "new sea tiger 9".
