It is more powerful than the one being used to build artificial islands in the South China Sea.
China is building the world's first dredger with a 10,000kW reamer, according to the chief engineer behind the project. The dredger is being built by the Tianjin Waterway Bureau, which also owns the most powerful dredger fleet in the world,Dredgers are vessels that can blast through rock on the bed of a sea or a river and then suck it up to pump them through a pipe at a distance.
The Tian Jing or Celestial Whale was designed by the Shanghai Jiao Tong University with help from the German firm Vosta LMG. Commissioned in 2010, the dredger can excavate 4,500 cubic meters cubic feet of sand per hour and its pump can send the sand up to 3.7 miles away.The vessel is unique since it can work without requiring supporting transport ships to move landfill material away from the site. Instead, it can do the job of dredging one spot and refilling another on its own.
China then built the Tian Kun, which has an upgraded capacity of dredging 6,000 cubic meters an hour and sending material 9.3 miles away. As China looks to strengthen its position in the dredging industry, it is now looking at self-sufficiency in the core technology development and an even bigger dredger will be a testament to its capabilities in the near future.
