Case Study: Guangdong Bonny Fair Heavy Industry Ltd achieves efficient shipyard operations with Cummins power solutions

Guangdong Bonny Fair Heavy Industry Ltd - Customer Case Study

Guangdong Bonny Fair Heavy Industry Ltd. needed reliable power and efficient support systems as it built multiple fast ferries and operated a highly streamlined shipyard with assembly-line construction and a floating dry dock. Cummins supplied the critical onboard and yard power equipment, including 6BT 5.9-liter diesels for generator sets and NT855-powered 245 kW generators for the dry dock.

Cummins’ solution helped power the FastCat ferries, with each vessel using a pair of Cummins 6BT 5.9-liter diesels for a 55 kW generator in each hull, while the dry dock relied on two Cummins NT855-powered 245 kW generators for pumping and operations. The result was a more efficient shipyard capable of building and fitting out vessels quickly, supporting a ten-vessel order and improved handling of increasingly sophisticated ships.
