Dual-fuel engines to be installed on four cruise ships
Meyer Werft | Caterpillar Marine says its MaK 16 M 46 DF dual-fuel engines, along with the full LNG supply and handling system, will be installed on four new cruise ships, two apiece under construction at German shipbuilder Meyer Werft’s shipyards in Papenburg, Germany, and Turku, Finland. A division of US-based Caterpillar Inc and headquartered in Hamburg, Caterpillar Marine now offers all-round LNG propulsion solutions – from shoreside bunkering to onboard storage; from bunker tanks via LNG handling and treatment to the dual-fuel engines including automation systems; and ultimately the dual-fuel main engines MaK 16 M 46 DF, in close cooperation with LNG and cryogenic specialist Marine Service GmbH, which is also based in Hamburg.
