Florida-based Crowley Maritime Corporation, the marine solutions, transportation and logistics company, has placed an order for 2 × ConRo ships. Each vessel will be powered by an MAN B&W 8S70ME-GI8.2 main engine and 3 × MAN 9L28/32DF auxiliary engines.

Two Greek shipping operators have recently selected one of MAN Diesel & Turbo's newest, two-stroke, main engines - the G95ME-C - as prime mover for two series of, respectively, 9,000- and 11,000-TEU container vessels

Vancouver-based Waterfront Shipping has confirmed its Methanol Carrier Project for a series of 50,000-dwt methanol carriers, each powered by an MAN B&W ME-LGI main engine running on methanol. The confirmation stems from a Letter of Intent MAN Diesel & Turbo and Waterfront signed in July of this year. MAN Diesel & Turbo officially designates the ME-LGI engine as ME-B9.3-LGI.

Maersk takes part in energy saving project A new research project aims to reduce the energy consumption of container ships by 10-20 percent. This will result in considerable environmental and economic benefits. According to Maersk, The Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation (Højteknologifonden) has just invested DKK 5 million in a project which is a collaboration between MAN Diesel & Turbo, Maersk Line and DTU Mekanik .Increasing oil prices have resulted in the massive container ships that carry cargo to the four corners of the world having to sail at a slower speed in order to save fuel. However, the slower speed has implications for the performance of the engine and wear and tear of components, and result in neither engines nor propellers working optimally. As a consequence, the existing fleet has to be fitted with new technology that is energy-optimised for lower speeds and, at the same time, has a lower level of emissions than is the case today.New ships can be designed with highly energy-efficient engine systems but there is no solution for the countless ships already sailing around the world. Therefore, MAN Diesel & Turbo, Maersk Line and DTU Mekanik have pooled their efforts to develop new technology ...
