High-performance hybrid wind power operation and maintenance vessel ASGARD (ASA102) successfully completed its sea trial
On May 7, 2021, the wind power maintenance vessel ASGARD (ASA102), built by Yinghui South, successfully completed its sea trials. ASGARD, with an overall length of 35.3 meters, a width of 11 meters, and a draft of 1.53 meters, is the world's first vessel built by Yinghui South to adopt Volvo IPS and Danfoss DC hybrid power systems. This sea trial included practical tests on speed measurement, stopping tests, turning tests, and DP dynamic positioning, comprehensively testing and verifying the reliability and stability of the ship's power system. In addition, under 80% of the main engine's load power, the deck noise during the sea trial was below 60 decibels, and the noise in the wheelhouse was only 49.9 decibels, far lower than the contract requirements, receiving unanimous praise from the ship owner and ship inspectors!
The construction of this vessel took place during the COVID-19 pandemic. With foreign ship owners unable to supervise the construction on-site, Yinghui South used a "cloud supervision" model, allowing the ship owners to monitor the construction process in real-time and comprehensively. Through the concerted efforts of all employees at Yinghui South, all major milestones of the vessel's construction were completed on schedule, earning praise from technical personnel both domestically and internationally.
Currently, the global development of clean energy is booming, and China's offshore wind power is experiencing a period of rapid expansion. Construction vessels from both domestic and international sources are supporting the construction of China's offshore wind power industry. As the first domestic aluminum alloy shipbuilder to enter the European wind power maintenance market, Yinghui South will thoroughly implement the national goals of "carbon peaking" and "carbon neutrality." We will actively participate in offshore wind power construction and always adhere to the core values of "integrity management, customer success, innovation-driven, and harmonious development." We will lead the development of China's wind power maintenance vessels with innovative technological research and development and excellent construction standards, providing safe, reliable, and high-quality professional wind power maintenance vessels for the domestic and international offshore wind power industry.
