Global Alignment and Engine Service has recently finished the works for Damen Shiprepair Dunkerque on board of the Trailing Suction Hopper Dredger Samuel de Champlain belonging to the GIE Dragages-Ports. The conversion work involves modifications to the internal structure to allow the installation of two, Type C LNG tanks on the hopper deck. Furthermore, the three existing diesel engines are replaced with three MAN dual-fuel engines. At the same time, the electrical distribution, command & control systems and security systems are all been upgraded. The machinery spaces, the cooling systems and various piping are also modernized. Global Alignment & Engine Service is proud to be part of this project, we were involved to carry out the following services:
