MAN Engine Range for Commercial Shipping

MAN Engines offers a wide range of high-speed four stroke diesel engines for use in commercial shipping.

For heavy operation – with unlimited operating hours and working up to 100% full load – such as for tugboats and other working ships, MAN Engines provides a range of outputs from 147 kW to 735 kW (200 HP up to 1,000 HP).

In medium-heavy operation (up to 4,000 hours per year at 50% full load), such as for ferries, passenger ships, and fishing boats, the range of outputs extend from 412kW to 1,066 kW (560 HP to 1,450 HP).

In light operation (up to 1,000 hours per year at 20% full load), the MAN engine range offers efficient 6-, 8- and 12-cylinder engines from 537 kW to 1,397 kW (730 HP to 2,000 HP) for surveillance, ambulance, and police boats.

In 2021, they have expanded their offer with the launch of the MAN Smart Hybrid Experience that has taken two prestigious international awards, both for its design quality and its user-centric design.
The key feature of the MAN Smart Hybrid Experience is its custom and modular design that allows it to meet a wide range of customer requirements. For instance, the
customer can choose the degree of hybrid power thanks to the ability to flexibly combine conventional drive engines with electric motors and add components such as batteries and on-board units. This ability to be flexible allows the MAN Smart Hybrid Experience to meet customers’ expectations and needs, whether it is efficiency, comfort or performance.

A characteristic feature of MAN marine engines is their powerful acceleration coupled with an extremely low fuel consumption. Their advantages are to be found above all in their outstanding power efficiency and compactness. The engines are delivered ready for installation, and are designed for optimum performance in the various conditions of deployment and operation. After installation. MAN Engines offers to examine and pass off the engine and to carry out extensive commissioning. All engines comply with the internationally applicable exhaust-gas regulations.

MAN Engines SCR system succesfully tested on pilot boat Luna

Pilot boats are essential for maritime navigation. They transport pilots to their destination in all winds and weathers so that incoming ships can be safely guided into harbour. To perform their duties, the boats must be equipped with powerful and reliable engines. For its latest pilot vessel, the Dutch Pilot Association (DPA) has entrustet this duty to two MAN D2862 LE469 engines with SCR system.

Modular exhaust after-treatment System from MAN Engines ensures IMO Tier III as well as US EPA Tier 4 compliance for workboats at sea and EU STAGE V for internal waters

The modular exhaust after-treatment System of MAN Engines stands out due to its great flexibility and extremely compact design, which are a distinct advantage in the varied installation situations on workboats, in which space is at a premium. The engineers of MAN Engines achieved this pioneering result by making the components freely placeable, allowing for an enormous range of variants of the EAT.
