Solving Industry Pain Points: From Passive Cleaning to Active Protection

As key port operating vessels, this electric tugboat undertakes intensive tasks such as berthing assistance and vessel scheduling in Lianyungang waters. Its cooling pipeline system is constantly threatened by fouling organisms including barnacles and mussels. According to the vessel operation department of the group, vessels without ultrasonic devices require nearly ten thousand RMB monthly for pipeline dredging. In severe cases, cooling system blockage will interrupt operation.

The successfully delivered ultrasonic antifouling system innovates marine antifouling technology. Composed of control unit and high-frequency transducers, low-power pulsed sound waves are emitted via pipeline-mounted transducers, turning pipelines into acoustic plates to spread vibration energy. The vibration disrupts algal and microbial cell structures, inhibiting biofilm formation at source and eliminating conditions for large fouling organisms attachment, achieving long-term clean antifouling protection.

Win-win for Ecology & Economy: Setting a Model for Green Port Transition

As China accelerates the zero-emission upgrade of port vessels, ultrasonic antifouling technology is entering large-scale standardized application. This successful practice of electric tugboats provides a systematic solution balancing ecological compliance and operational economy. Green technological upgrades respond to dual-carbon goals and bring tangible economic benefits.

Shunxin Vessel will accelerate mass deployment of ultrasonic antifouling systems across all port tugboats. We will cooperate with research institutes to optimize system parameters and adaptability, developing customized efficient protection solutions targeting biological fouling characteristics in different sea areas.
