Van der Leun China completed the commissioning for the Hai Gong 101, a 7000m³ trailing suction hopper dredger.
The vessel is owned by the Dachandao Group, and back from a successful sea trial and dredging test which started from the 8th of April and lasted until the 15th of April 2021.
We delivered the main switchboard and power management system for the Hai Gong 101 some years ago. However, due to the crisis of the shipyard, many vessels were delayed, including the Hai Gong 101.
We commissioned the main switchboard and power management system, and made sure everything meets the latest rules and regulations of CCS after it experienced 4-years of delay.
Also the Simulation was set up with methodology via Python - OPC DA which helped save around 7 days of test time and decreased the cost for ship owner to successfully deliver the project.
We congratulate the complete team of the Hai Gong 101 for the successful sea trial and are pleased to see that it will be used for dredging in the Yangtze River Port very soon!
In 1920, Jan Cornelis van der Leun opened his shop at the harbor of Sliedrecht. Radios and electric lighting were still new and remarkable at the time. What began with providing light and sound soon grew into creating solutions for the shipping industry and the emerging dredging sector.
That hands-on, problem-solving mentality is still at the heart of our work today.
Stores are constantly evolving: new concepts, updated interiors and smarter technologies. But who makes sure all those plans are actually carried out behind the scenes?
In 2025, Royal van der Leun is responsible for the maintenance and renovation of over 500,000 m² of retail space across the Netherlands. A task that goes far beyond simply pulling new cables.
From June 24 to 26, 2025, Royal Van der Leun will be present at the Electric & Hybrid Marine Expo Europe at RAI Amsterdam. At this leading trade fair in the maritime sector, we will showcase our latest solutions in intelligent electrical systems and sustainable innovation.
