Reference BigRoll – 4 MC Class Module Carrier vessels, DP 2 prepared
BigRoll developed a vessel that is specifically designed to deliver modules and equipment for large projects. It is also highly suited to travel to remote areas such as the Arctic regions. Bakker Sliedrecht participated in the design of the innovative propulsion configuration which ensures safe, reliable and fast transits with particular focus on low fuel consumption
Bakker Sliedrecht is, as an electrical system integrator, fully responsible for the complete electrical design of the module carrier vessels. In order to provide a solution that fits the needs of BigRoll, Bakker Sliedrecht started with fully understanding the specific requirements of the new vessel type. This resulted in translating the concept into a detailed design.
BigRoll benefits from receiving one integrated system that is based on their requirements.
The new vessels are being built in China and the power generation, power distribution and vessel automation are delivered by Bakker Sliedrecht. This includes main generators, HV switchboard, LV package, transformers, UPS, Propulsion VFD’s, Propulsion E-motors and vessel automation.
Reference Ndeavor & Ndurance – multipurpose vessels with DP 2
Boskalis planned to build two multipurpose vessels in China. Bakker Sliedrecht was requested to engineer, supervise installation works and commission all critical electrical installations. The company also supplied the power distribution grid, main thrusters, retractable thrusters, bow thrusters and the vessel management system.
What is special about this project is the fact that the application of both vessels was determined during the building process. This is why Bakker Sliedrecht engineered all electrical systems in such a way that the application of these vessels can be changed with relative ease. The Ndeavor was equipped with a subsea rock installation and the Ndurance was equipped with a cable laying installation.
The great collaboration between Boskalis and Bakker Sliedrecht was vital to finishing this project successfully. Both parties showed their agility and willingness when challenges presented themselves during the building.
