The "Jun Guang"—a super-sized dredger with a capacity of 35,000 cubic meters—was officially put into operation in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, on Friday, ushering in a new era of Chinese high-end dredging equipment, characterized by ultra-large capacity, full-process intelligence, and green, low-carbon development, according to Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industries Co. Ltd. (ZPMC).
Measuring 198 meters in length, 38.5 meters in width, with a maximum dredging depth of 120 meters, the vessel is the largest of its kind in Asia and was independently designed, researched, and developed by Chinese companies and built by Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. (ZPMC) for China Communications Construction Co., Ltd. (CCCC) and Guangzhou Dredging Co., Ltd.
Its advanced design has brought about exceptional operational performance, including powerful soil-breaking ability, long-distance transport, and an extended pumping range for land reclamation.
It is also equipped with a sophisticated, independently developed intelligent control system, which allows the vessel to operate both precisely and efficiently.
