"Qinggang Tuo 1" has two "hearts". That is, it adopts "diesel + electric" dual drive mode. Through the self-developed power configuration method and conversion control algorithm, power can be transmitted at a speed of up to 11.7 knots and durability of up to 4.5 hours from constant water. Operators can use the same handle to control both drive systems. And the two driving modes, pure electric drive and diesel engine drive, can realize seamless intelligent switching with the touch of a button.
Hybrid cars are not new to anyone. However, not many people know about hybrid ships. Recently, "Qinggang Tuo 1", China's first hybrid gasoline-electric intelligent tugboat, was launched at Qingdao Port, Shandong Port. It uses the dual propulsion mode of conventional diesel engine and electric engine. Zero fuel can be used. Zero emission consumption in pure electric mode creates a new mode of tugboat operation that provides an environmentally friendly, repeatable and scalable reference experience for technological innovation in the maritime industry.
Dual drive mode can realize one-button switching.
On December 30, 2022, the "Qinggang Tuo 1" vessel left Shandong Port, Qianwan Port Pier in Qingdao Port, and officially started operating. It is 39m long, 11.5m wide and 5.3m deep, and has 5,200 horsepower.

"The 'Qinggang Tuo 1' diesel propulsion system is equipped with two main diesel engines with a single engine output of 1920 kW. The electric propulsion system is equipped with a total capacity of four lithium iron phosphate battery packs. Li Ruifeng, " The captain of the Qinggang Tug 1" said in most working conditions. The boat will focus on using lithium. It will operate in battery propulsion mode, which can support continuous operation of the entire boat for 4.5 hours at full charge.
Zhang Lei, deputy general manager of Shandong Qingdao Port Barge Co., Ltd., said that the "Qinggang Tuo 1" vessel was independently developed by Shandong Qingdao Port in 18 months, cost about 60 million yuan, and had a design life of 30 years.
The reporter learned that "Qinggang Tuo 1" has been awarded 6 additional points by the China Classification Society: Intelligent Navigation (N), Intelligent Machine Room (M), Intelligent Energy Efficiency (E), and Intelligent Integrated Platform (I). Hybrid power bridge and driverless taxi AUT-0, making it the first flatbed tugboat in China to receive the additional mark of intelligent navigation. First flatbed tug to receive the additional mark of Hybrid Power. The first ship to receive four additional Genius badges. Marked azimuth tugboat China's most intelligent azimuth tugboat.
