CASE STUDY Engines Quiet Oceanographic Vessel Guascor® Engines and Gen-sets The Opportunity Future research vessels (FRV) play an important role in collecting and analyzing data from the ocean so that we have a better understanding of it. However, the large vessels’ propulsion systems give off high vibrations and noise levels. The Solution A few years ago, Dresser-Rand Guascor® product experts developed an unprecedented new technical solution that significantly reduced the vibration and noise levels transmitted to the sea by the ship’s propulsion system. The system was installed on the Miguel...

The Ramón Margalef vessel was delivered to the Spanish Oceanographic Institute (IEO) and meets the strictest environmental requirements. It is one of the most silent vessels in all of the European FRV fleet – and perhaps of the civilian fleet – in the world. The FRV Angeles Alvariño is the twin vessel of the Ramón Margalef and employs the same Guascor® Diesel engine system to reduce vibration and noise. Benefits • Reduces unpleasant vibrations and noise • Employs robust, trustworthy equipment • Creates a reliable, efficient and clean power source • Provides continuous power The Business The Dresser-Rand...

.NMnNNnNS CASE STUDY The Opportunity Acciona Infraestructuras is a Spanish infrastructure development company that has built numerous maritime projects for public and private clients worldwide including ports, dry docks, shipyards, berthing jetties, and navigation canals. Acciona was recently selected to build a large caissonbuilding floating dock in Portugal's Setubal port. Acciona turned to Dresser-Rand to power Kugira II because of its vast experience in the marine industry and its use of state-of-the the-art technology and its extensive resources. The Solution Dresser-Rand powered the KUGIRA...

CASE STUDY Marine Propulsion Units to Power Tugboat Guascor® Engines and Gen-sets The Opportunity New Caledonia has a long history of mining in the Pacific Islands and mining continues to be a major contributor to New Caledonian’s economy. The islands contain approximately 7 million tons of nickel, which represents approx. 10% of the world’s nickel reserves. Excluding tourism, mining and derived metallurgical products represent approximately 97% of the total value of exports. The mining trade prompted the development of specialized industrial harbors throughout the region because sea transport...
