With global economic growth and the expansion of the dredging industry,large cutter suction dredgers have become key equipment in this field.This paper is focused on enhancing the efficiency of the super-large cutter suction dredger"Tiankun".By analyzing the challenges of this vessel in rock dredging engineering,a"Dredge-Transport separation"logistical strategy is introduced.To accomplish this goal,it is recommended to develop a split trailing suction hopper dredger specially designed to cooperate with"Tiankun".This paper discusses in detail the issues of compatibility between split trailing suction hopper dredger and"Tiankun"in terms of main dimensions and hopper capacity,fast berthing operations,hopper structure and strength,dredging system,and the vessel's general layout.A novel split trailing suction hopper dredger has been proposed,which can fully meet the needs of coordinating with the rock dredging and transporting operations of the"Tiankun",and achieve a"Dredge-Transport separation"logistical approach.It can carry out later spot dredging operations,reduce the occupation period of the"Tiankun",and thus significantly enhance the overall economic benefits.
