Electro technical system integrator Bakker Sliedrecht will renew, modify, extend and integrate all electro technical installations of Boskalis’ new crane vessel Bokalift 2. Both companies recently signed the contract for the project. In 2016, Bakker Sliedrecht got a similar job for crane vessel Bokalift 1. Now, the company will act again as the main contractor, supervising all electrical operations, although this time the task is even more extensive. Bakker Sliedrecht is responsible for the engineering, production, supply, installation, testing and commissioning of all electrical systems and installations during the conversion. For example, the high voltage installations and the drive systems for the main thrusters are renewed, upgraded or retrofitted. New drive systems for bow thrusters and anti-heeling system, transformers and new switchboards will be added. The new purpose of the vessel also requires replacement of the current Dynamic Positioning (DP) system, the power management system (PMS) and the vessel management system (VMS).
