Modern bulk carriers must adapt to new requirements
Efficiency and durability – a must for modern bulk carriers
This attractive and important transport segment continues to grow along with increasing global market volumes, but needs to adapt to more stringent requirements.
Today’s bulk carrier owners need cost-effective propulsion systems with low initial costs to make their operations profitable. Since bulk carriers often sail in environmentally sensitive areas, their engines need to meet strict limits for NOx, SOx, and particulate emissions. With stricter IMO restrictions, finding high-efficiency propulsion systems with low fuel consumption is key. Operators need the best two-stroke engines that meet low rpm demands to achieve ideal ship designs with highly efficient large propellers.
MAN B&W two-stroke engines: The best solution for your bulker
Efficient and environmentally friendly
Our two-stroke engines are the best solution for the propulsion of all kinds of merchant vessels, such as your bulk carrier. All of our two-stroke engines are manufactured by a family of licensees—mainly based in Asia.
The main advantages of our electronically controlled ME engines: optimized fuel, lube oil consumption as well as improved low load operation, built on decades of success enjoyed by their mechanically controlled predecessors.
Power for your bulker: MAN B&W two-stroke engines
Besides our trusted ME-C engines, we also offer our portfolio of proven dual fuel engines for the propulsion of bulk carriers.
The ME-GI is a highly efficient, flexible propulsion solution. With its introduction, we began a new chapter in diesel history, from which your bulker vessel stands to benefit. With the ME-GI, we are able to offer vessel owners the option of using fuel oil or gas—depending on market prices and availability.
The ME-LGI engine, on the other hand, offers liquid gas injection and is therefore well suited to all kinds of modern cargo ships: The main advantage is the possibility of using fuels with a low flash point and low sulfur content, like LPG and methanol.
