Recently, the ultrasonic anti-fouling system installed by Shunxin Shipbuilding for the new generation of electric tractors under a domestic port group has successfully passed the delivery acceptance.
Solving Industry Pain Points: From "Passive Cleaning" to "Active Protection"
As a key operation vessel in the port, this electric tugboat has long been performing high-intensity tasks such as berthing assistance and vessel dispatching in the waters of Lianyungang. Its cooling pipeline system has long been facing severe challenges from the attachment of Marine organisms such as barnbaras and mussels. According to a relevant person in charge of the group's ship operation and maintenance department, ships without ultrasonic treatment devices need to invest an additional nearly ten thousand yuan each month for pipe unblocking. In severe cases, operations may even be interrupted due to blockages in the cooling system.
The ultrasonic anti-fouling system successfully delivered this time has fundamentally reshaped the technical path for ship anti-fouling. This system is composed of control units, high-frequency transducers and other modules. By installing transducers in the pipeline to emit specific low-power pulse sound waves, the pipeline becomes a "sound plate" to diffuse vibration energy. This vibration can effectively interfere with and disrupt the cellular structure of algae and microorganisms, inhibiting the formation of biofilms from the source, thereby completely blocking the attachment conditions of large-scale fouling organisms and achieving long-lasting and clean anti-fouling protection.
Ecological and Economic win-win: Establishing a Model for the green transformation of ports
At present, with the full acceleration of the "zero emission" upgrade process of ships in China's ports, ultrasonic anti-pollution technology is entering a new stage of large-scale and standardized application. The successful implementation of this electric tugboat has provided the industry with a systematic solution that emphasizes both ecological compliance and operational economy. The upgrade of green technology can not only respond to the "dual carbon" goals but also directly translate into significant economic benefits.
Next, Shunxin Shipbuilding will accelerate the batch application of ultrasonic anti-fouling systems in all tugboats in Hong Kong, and actively collaborate with research institutions to conduct research on system parameter optimization and adaptability. Based on the characteristics of biological attachment in different sea areas, it will tailor efficient protection solutions.
