Solar power systems for dredging

Robust solar-powered skids for dredging operations and remote marine applications

For dredging applications, we design and produce robust solar skids. These autonomous solar power systems deliver reliable power at remote locations. In addition, they perform well in harsh environmental conditions. We offer multiple battery capacities, output voltages, and power levels on request. Below, several dredging projects illustrate the available system configurations and possibilities.

Heavy-Duty Design

Designed for continuous operation in harsh dredging environments.

Flexible Power Output

Multiple battery capacities and voltage options are available.

Remote & Autonomous

Enables operation without cables or generators.

Proven in Projects

Applied in real dredging operations worldwide.

Solar for mega cutter suction dredger

For one of our dredging customers, we designed 2 remote controlled 250-tons Quick Release Hooks equipped with a solar hydraulic powerpack. The usage of these systems is unique: When deploying their mega cutter suction dredgers, the customer uses our systems on their left and right anchor line pontoons for safe deployment and operation. The anchor lines move the vessel in a controlled left-to-right motion. This movement allows the dredger to sweep its work across the sea or riverbed.

By using our solar-hydraulic remote-control solution, the operators can disconnect the anchor lines safely and remotely. This function supports rapid response during emergencies, approaching storms, or relocation. The system also integrates AIS, navigation lights, and working lights. Together, these components form an all-in-one solution for safe pontoon operation during 24/7 dredging activities.

Solar powered hydropack for quick release ball joints

For our customer Jan de Nul, we custom build a solar powered hydraulic power pack for control of quick release ball joints in floating pipelines. The solar system includes an integrated remote-control system. This setup allows dredging operators to open or close the quick release ball joints from a safe distance. This innovative system ensures efficiency and safety for both the workers and equipment and moreover contributes to the benefits or our environment.

Other marine applications

Straatman’s solar power system provides a reliable solution for applications where a conventional power supply using cables or generators is impractical or not feasible. The autonomous system delivers continuous power and is designed to operate in harsh and demanding environments.

For use in hazardous areas, such as LNG or oil and gas terminals, the system can be supplied with certified explosion-proof solar panels. This allows safe operation in environments with strict safety requirements.

Our team works closely with clients to develop practical solar power solutions for specific maritime applications. From design and engineering to supply and installation, we support each project with a flexible and solution-oriented approach.
