MS Dragon
Installation of new engines
Implementation
After dismantling, a new Scania industrial engine was installed, which had previously been converted to a water cooling system. A diesel particle filter system was also installed in order to be able to meet the new emission regulations in line with Euronorm Stage V. A new fire extinguishing system, on-board power generator and 2 small bow thrusters were also installed. All of the electrical installations were also renewed. A new coat of paint below the waterline rounded off the works.
Challenges
To standardise the SNG fleet, the customer wanted the propulsion drive converted from a rudder propeller to a shafting system.
The biggest challenge was the limited space, as the engine room had not been designed to accommodate this. Using a V-gear, which was now installed in a bulkhead in front of the engine room, we were able to find a solution and carry out the conversion successfully.
