The present invention in particular relates to a trailing dredger. Such a dredger simultaneously is driven and powers its dredge pump. CN202863752 U discloses a suction dredger power device. Both an adjustable pitch propeller and a dredge pump is coupled with an engine. The adjustable pitch propeller and the dredge pump is coupled with the engine each through a separate respective gear box. These two respective gear boxes are arranged at opposite sides of the engine. This arrangement of the drive system is disadvantageous for the required installation length of the drive system.
Summary of the invention
The invention aims to provide a dredging vessel, in particular a Trailing Suction Hopper Dredger, which can be more efficient during operation. In particular the efficient operation involves a reduction of weight of the vessel as much as possible.
Another object of the invention is to improve a dredging vessel in that a problem associated therewith is at least partly solved.
Yet another object of the invention is to provide an alternative dredging vessel.
According to a first aspect of the invention this is realized with a manoeuvrable dredging vessel comprising; - a cargo space for containing dredged material, - a dredge suction system comprising a dredge pump for transporting dredged material towards the cargo space, - a vessel propulsion member for manoeuvring the vessel, - a drive system comprising an engine having a central longitudinal axis and a transmission device coupled with the engine, wherein the transmission device is coupled with both the vessel propulsion member and the dredge pump, wherein the transmission device comprises just one single input - dual output gearbox for transmitting power to the vessel propulsion member and the dredge pump.
The transmission device comprising just one single input - dual output gearbox enables reduce the length of the drive system along the central longitudinal axis of the engine which results in a reduced installation length. This allows increase of the cargo space. The reduced installation length results in relative short aft ship and thus a relative long cargo space. The relative long cargo space makes it possible to distribute the weight of the hopper load over a longer part of the vessels construction. This results into lower stresses in the construction of the vessel and therefore the steel weight can be reduced significantly.
The transmission device refers the device required for transmitting power to users like a propeller and a dredge pump. In connection with the prior art, the transmission device may comprise a number of separate individual gear boxes. A dredge pump here refers to the main dredge pump which typically may have a power rating of between 750 to 1500, in particular 1000 to 1200 kW.
