Be it a passenger ferry with fixed schedules, or a passenger-cum-cargo vessel that transports cargo along passengers, or a high speed vessel tearing apart the waves at 40 knots, the right choice of engine is as important as designing the concept for the vessel. Having the right concept is so significant that the customer can secure enormous saving potential in the operating costs of the vessel.

At MAN Diesel & Turbo, we keep this in mind to help our customers pick the right concept considering the operating profile of the vessel and also its capital expenditure. Needless to restate that our engines are IMO compliant for ferries as well.

Emission reduction

Ferries are equally confronted with the stringent regulation issues as the cruise vessels are. Thanks to advanced, external emission control systems, we do not always need to re-shape the engines to meet such requirements.

Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) is one of the promising technologies available at MAN Diesel & Turbo to reduce SOx emissions by external measures. SCR meets the emissions limits prescribed in the IMO MARPOL 73/78 Annex VI.

Power - an MAN thing

The new V28/33D engine features state-of-the-art design and has the highest power density in its class while maintaining full compliance with IMO II and EPA Tier lI legislations. Its compact design is tailored for all types of fast ferry applications. The 20- cylinder version of this engine with a 10% overload possibility makes it the only engine with 10MW output at 1000rev/min so far.
