New engine aimed at cruise ships, RoRo and RoPax vessels
48/60CR | MAN has disclosed the successor to its 48/60CR engine in the company’s 4x line of high-performance diesel engines. The MAN 45/60CR marine diesel engine will initially be available as 12-V and 14-V versions with power outputs of 15,600 and 18,200 kW, respectively, with inline versions following at a later stage. For land-based power generation applications, MAN has developed the maximum power version, the 20V45/60 with 26 MW. Wayne Jones, chief sales officer of MAN Diesel & Turbo, said: “The new engine combines the best features of the current 48/60CR, such as MAN’s common-rail system with ECOMAP capability, and adds new technologies such as two-stage turbocharging for an unrivalled specific fuel oil consumption. The resultant reduction in operating expenses and positive environmental impact are sure to attract strong market interest.” MAN Diesel & Turbo states that the 45/60CR’s power increase and low consumption are particularly aimed at cruise liners, RoPax ferries, RoRo vessels, and dredgers.
