In brief:
Yacht engine for EPA Tier 3 and IMO Tier III
MTU and Marina Barcelona 92 have signed a service and overhaul cooperation
contract for MTU yacht engines.
MTU and Marina Barcelona
team up
MTU and the Spanish ship repairers Marina Barcelona 92 (MB92) have
signed a cooperative agreement. It governs the technical and business
relationships between the two parties when working together on the
servicing and overhaul of MTU engines in yachts brought in for repair.
MTU maintains an office at the shipyard for that purpose. MB92 is located
in Barcelona harbor and is one of the world’s largest repair yards for
overhauling, servicing and maintaining superyachts and megayachts. Since
the end of 2011, MTU has assisted MB92 with its work on more than 50
yachts.
The MTU Series 2000 is being
upgraded to comply with the US
emissions standard EPA Tier 3
(Leisure Craft) and the IMO Tier III
international emissions standard.
The new generation of the engine
designated the 2000 M96 covers
a range of power outputs up
to 1,940kW (2,600bhp) and meets the IMO Tier II and EPA Tier
3 requirements using internal engine design features alone while
achieving IMO Tier III compliance with the addition of SCR exhaust gas
aftertreatment. Despite the engine’s lower exhaust emissions, its fuel
consumption is even more economical than previous models.
The new units will be available in 2014 (EPA Tier 3 Leisure
Craft) and early 2016 (IMO Tier III) respectively.
Ironmen for next stage of emissions limits
Tognum is upgrading the MTU Series
4000 “Ironmen” engines to comply
with the US emissions standard EPA
Tier 3. Like the present generation,
the future engines will be offered
as 8, 12 and 16-cylinder versions
for diesel-mechanical and dieselelectric
propulsion or onboard power
generation. The mechanical-propulsion versions span a power range
of 560 to 2,000kW, while the diesel-electric and power-generation
alternatives offer between 650 and 2,000kW. These engines
require no exhaust gas aftertreatment. The first units will be
available from summer 2013.
10MW Series 8000
MTU and Navantia run a joint training center in Cartagena/Spain.
New Training Center
MTU Ibérica and the Spanish shipbuilder Navantia have opened
a shared training center in Cartagena, Spain. It is part of a longterm
strategic cooperation program between the two companies
and extends the existing licensing agreements for marketing and
production of MTU Series 396, 956 and 1163 engines. The training
center is a component of the worldwide MTU service network which
includes numerous training establishments and meets correspondingly
high quality standards.
The Series 8000 is now available
with an output of ten megawatts.
Previously, the 20-cylinder unit
offered a maximum output of
9,100kW. A project-specific
endurance test over a period
of 1,500 hours under tropical
conditions has now demonstrated
the IMO Tier II compliant engine’s power increase and reliability,
however. The Series 8000 now covers a range of outputs from 7,200 to
10,000kW. So MTU is now in a position to offer economical
diesel-engine-based propulsion systems capable of up to 40
megawatts per vessel.
