![]() ![]() Isandlwana features an automated engine room suitable for unattended operation. The ship provides spacious accommodation to its captain, officers and crew in single and double cabins. The deck house of the ship is fully air conditioned. ![]() The ship is equipped with general service equipment, modern navigation equipment and an appropriate HVAC (heating, ventilating and air conditioning) system. The DCS interacts with many instruments such as the DTPS, STPM and DLM monitoring systems, hopper volume and dry solid mass measurements, ALMO, automatic draghead depth control and mixture pressure, density and velocity measurements. Rapid overviews of the entire process are generated and displayed on the colour video display screens by using pre-programmed process pages, service pages and diagnostic pages. The entire system can be controlled with keyboards and display units. The dredging control system (DCS), which is a semi-integrated system based on PLC signal processing and PC/SCADA, remotely controls the dredging process. The pump and pipelines are protected by a degassing system. The dredged soil is pumped ashore through the system via a floating pipeline.Ī diesel engine powers the single-walled dredge pump during the trail dredging, while the additional power for shore discharging or rain bowing is provided by the starboard main diesel engine. The system is fitted with hydraulically operated suction channel doors for rain bowing and discharging the claimed soil. The ship’s dredging installation also includes a longitudinal self-emptying system with bow discharge connection of 800mm. It also has a bow connection or a rainbow pipe to discharge the load directly into the sea. ![]() Isandlwana has ten conical bottom valves for unloading. A telescopic overflow duct controls the ship’s draught during loading. Remotely-operated hydraulic winches and gantries are used to operate the suction pipe. It allows the ship to dredge up to a depth of 30m. Its naming and launch ceremony was held at the IHC Merwede shipyard." "Isandlwana is the third modern trailing suction hopper dredger built for the South Africa-based Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA). ![]()
