Spain: Ibercisa to Supply Deck Machinery for New Dredger Willen de Vlamingh

The Belgian Company Jan De Null has chosen Ibercisa to supply deck machinery for the new dredger “Willen de Vlamingh” presently in Singapore having sailed from South Korea. Machinery supplied includes a huge winch electronically driven by frequency converter and comprises a main engine of 110 Kw giving a direct pull of 33t and a second auxiliary engine for emergencies of 20 Kw giving the same pull at a slower speed.

The winch also features 2 drums working simultaneously with a capacity of 220m of 36mm diam. cable in a single layer with a break capacity of 45 tons. The winch which will be installed in Singapore, will be used for controlling the hoisting and lowering of the pipes and arm of the suction equipment.

Apart from this winch, Ibercisa will also be sending 4 towing winches to Singapore for the Company President Marine.

The “Willan de Vlamingh” Fall Pipe Dredger, is the second Belgian vessel to be equipped by Ibercisa in less than a year. At the beginning of 2011, the Vigo company supplied machinery for the “Charles Darwin”, built in La Naval, at Sestao also for Jan De Null.
