Propulsion Trends in Container Vessels  19/08/2008

The use of containers started during the Second World War, and the first ship specifically designed for container transportation appeared in 1960, viz. the Supanya, of 610 teu. Particularly, the amount of cargo shipped in containers has increased considerably over the last fifteen years, resulting in a rapid increase in both the number and the size of container vessels during this period.

 

Exhaust Gas Emission Control Today and Tomorrow  19/08/2008

MAN Diesel designs and develops two-stroke engines that comply with the demands and regulations made to the maritime industry, and cooperates with authorities, governments and international organisations on the development of new regulations to fulfil the goal of reducing exhaust gas emissions by realistic methods.The aim is to arrive at methods that are applicable and practical to ship operators, and which will maintain a high level of safety and reliability of the engines.

LNG Carrier Power  05/06/2008

This paper investigates the DFDE propulsion plant from different angles, discusses the benefits of different engine configurations, and demonstrates that the multi-engine DFDE plant with the right configuration provides full maintainability at any time of the voyage and, in addition, matches traditional steam propulsion systems in terms of fuel flexibility.

 

Field Experience - L27/38 propulsion engine powering M/V Mark Amay  05/02/2008

This 16-page paper describes our field experience up to 46,300 operating hours with the MAN Diesel four-stroke propulsion engine type, L27/38, powering the Irish fishing vessel M/V MARK AMAY.

Heading for 30,000 Operating Hours on HFO GenSets  22/09/2004

A 12-page paper, based on customer feedback: CP Ships (UK) Limited has achieved a very promising 24,000 hours operating interval with MAN B&W Holeby L28/32H GenSets, and the owner is now heading for 30,000 hours before the main overhaul.

 

Installation Aspects of MAN B&W Main and Auxiliary  08/10/2002

When the required vessel power profile has been evaluated and determined, both with regard to propulsion load and electrical load, the next step is to design the engine room configuration so that it will also be optimal with regard to installation, operation and maintenance. MAN B&W Holeby has not only looked at this as an isolated case for the L16/24 type auxiliary engines but, as described in the following, has also looked at it in relation to the MAN B&W twostroke main engine on board.

PROPELLER EQUIPMENT

 

CP Propeller - Product Information  06/11/2007

The purpose of this Product Information brochure is to act as a guide in the project planning of MAN Diesel´s Alpha propeller equipment. The brochure gives a description of the basic design principles of the Alpha Controllable Pitch (CP) propeller equipment. It contains dimensional sketches, thereby making it possible to work out shaft line and engine room arrangement drawings. Furthermore, a guideline to some of the basic layout criteria is given.

 

Propulsion of Offshore Support Vessels  26/11/2005

The development of the offshore propulsion business at MAN Diesel dates back to the early 1970s, and has since then not only been focused on supplying complete propulsion systems but has also been concentrated on the associated know-how and technology. The demand for system engineering and package responsibility has grown in recent years. One reason is the reduced technical staff at most shipyards in combination with outsourcing of technical work to consultants and partners.
