MAN Diesel & Turbo has announced the development of a new turbocharger series specifically matched to the requirements of two-stroke engines. For the first time ever, MAN Diesel & Turbo will develop a turbocharger series exclusively for two-stroke engines that is especially designed and optimised to fulfill Tier III requirements. Compared to the TCA turbocharger range, successfully introduced by the company during the last decade, TCT efficiency shows an increase of 5% through using newly-developed compressor and turbine-wheel geometry, consequently increasing waste-heat-recovery potential by 30%. The TCT range will also deliver a 10% greater air flow at a turbocharging pressure 25% higher, while being 30% smaller and 40% lighter than the existing TCA range. MAN Diesel & Turbo reports that the first TCT turbocharger is expected to reach the market in 2016 after an extensive validation and field-testing programme. Dirk Balthasar, Head of Sales and Promotion - Turbocharger Business Unit - MAN Diesel & Turbo, said: "Modern turbochargers must meet many demands, including meeting technical requirements - such as Tier III compliance - at the most competitive price, having small dimensions to facilitate installation in cramped spaces, not to mention characteristics such as high operational reliability, low maintenance frequencies and ...

The increasing use of LNG as a marine fuel is further emphasised with the latest order for Wärtsilä's dual-fuel engine technology

With January 2015 and the enforcement of Emission Control Areas (ECAs) rapidly approaching, Alfa Laval has launched a new generation of the scrubber with a wide range of enhancements and options: PureSOx 2.0. Smaller and more flexible, PureSOx 2.0 suits an even wider range of vessels and offers benefits from the design stage to ongoing operation. These include new placement possibilities and lower installation costs, as well as the option of powder dosing in closed-loop mode. "PureSOx 2.0 retains the well-documented PureSOx strengths," says René Diks, Alfa Laval Manager Marketing & Sales, Exhaust Gas Cleaning. "What it adds are new advances that reinforce the system's position at the leading edge of marine scrubber technology." PureSOx 2.0 is not a departure, but rather a milestone in a continuous development process. Though refined with experience over time, the proven PureSOx technology is still fundamentally the same as that of the very first PureSOx system, which still serves the two-stroke 21 MW main engine aboard the DFDS Ficaria Seaways. "Every PureSOx system ever installed is in use and operating within ECA limits," says Diks, who points out that PureSOx today has more references than any other single SOx scrubber technology. "PureSOx 2.0 is ...

The final films in ITOPF's "Response to Marine Oil Spills" series were showcased at a cinema in the iconic IFC building in Hong Kong. Mr Michael Wong, Director of the Marine Department, told the invited audience of shipping, P&I and government representatives that Hong Kong was a fitting location for the climax to the film series. As one of the busiest ports in the world and operator of one of the largest shipping registries, protecting the marine environment and facilitating the safe and expeditious movement of ships was of paramount importance for Hong Kong, he explained. He also outlined how investing in infrastructure to further strengthen the position of Hong Kong as one of the leading ports in the world is seen as a strategic priority for the government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. The two films featured in Hong Kong, "Environmental Impacts" and "Oil Spill Compensation", are now available to view online from ITOPF's website, along with the complete set of titles in this seven-part series.
