Independently developed in China, the ship uses LNG clean energy as its primary power source. In the event that LNG filling conditions cannot be met, the vessel is equipped with a backup diesel power system.

This system enables the vessel to use the “dredging and driving in one” approach, facilitating “unmanned dredging” functionality under typical working conditions.
