Cummins K38 helps 40-meter operation and maintenance ships sail smoothly on the sea

Recently, Haifeng 5000 series, a catamaran high-performance wind power operation and maintenance ship, was delivered with honor.

The total length is 40 meters, and the trial speed is about 18 knots. The endurance is up to 1,000 nautical miles. Good speed and strong seakeeping are China's advanced catamaran high-performance operation and maintenance ships. The power core "core" that this giant ship relies on is derived from the Cummins K38 engine.

Full power speeds up operation and maintenance ships

As the offshore distance of wind power projects continues to increase, it is particularly important to transport workers to offshore wind farms for maintenance operations in a timely and efficient manner. Cummins China’s marine machinery business teamed up with Chongqing Cummins to develop power-increasing products. While the overall weight of the engine remains unchanged, Through technological upgrades, the power of a single engine is increased by more than 1596, which greatly enhances the navigation efficiency and stability of the operation and maintenance ship, helping the offshore wind power operation and maintenance market enter the era of high-speed ships.

Reliable design, weatherproof

Offshore wind farm waters have abundant wind energy, changeable weather and sea conditions, and harsh environments. The reliability of equipment has a huge impact on the operation of operation and maintenance ships. The K38 engine continues the advantages of Cummins engines in terms of durability and modular design. The parts are highly versatile and the number of parts is reduced by 10%. Low failure rate and convenient maintenance effectively reduce maintenance costs and ensure efficient attendance of operation and maintenance ships.

High-power configuration and widely used hard core

There are currently many types of operation and maintenance ships on the market, and the demand for power equipment is also more diverse. The Cummins K38/50 engine has a wide range of configurations and is used in classic wind power operation and maintenance ship types such as 26 meters, 33 meters, 36 meters, and 40 meters, and can be accurately matched Different customers have individual needs in terms of speed, battery life, load capacity, etc.
