GenSets and Diesel-electric propulsion
MAN L28/32DF GenSet
Based on the ultra-reliable and robust MAN 28/32H, the dual-fuel version is available as newbuild or retrofit and adds the ability to run on methane, with its economic and environmental advantages. High efficiency in gas and diesel mode makes it a perfect GenSet as part of a complete power package with four-stroke or two-stroke propulsion engines. Easy operation, easy maintenance and proven reliability also make it a trusted propulsion engine with long times between overhauls and low life cycle costs.
- 720 – 750 rpm
- 1,050 – 1,890 kW
- 1,000 – 1,800 kWe
MAN L23/30H Mk3 GenSet
By applying innovative technology to classic design principles, the MAN L23/30H Mk3 is engineered to meet the power needs of most commercial ship types. Straight forward integration requirements make it a perfect choice for low-cost installation, while well-known maintenance procedures and common spare parts reduce operating costs. The new model raises power output per cylinder by 15-20% and reduces fuel oil consumption.
- 720 – 900 rpm
- 500 – 1,800 kW
- 475 – 1,710 kWe
MAN L23/30DF GenSet
The MAN L23/30DF dual-fuel GenSet lets you select the most economic fuel for the operating condition. The cost optimized fuel injection system is designed for high reliability and cost-efficiency. It uses the main injection valve to inject pilot oil. This way, separate injectors, piping and pumps for main oil and pilot oil or a common rail system are not needed, saving on installation costs and maintenance. The monocoque design also eases the installation of the engine series and reduces weight.
- 720 – 900 rpm
- 625 – 1,320 kW
- 590 – 1,255 kWe
This methanol-fuelled engine is a compact and reliable power source designed to run on methanol, heavy fuel oil (HFO), and most bio-fuel oils. When powered by green methanol, it is carbon neutral. The new engine type maintains the reliability and low consumption of the proven MAN 21/31, ensuring security of power supply on large vessels and handling load steps with confidence.
- 900 – 1,000 rpm
- 1,000 – 1,980 kW
- 950 – 1,880 kWe
Propulsion engines
The robust and reliable MAN L27/38 delivers good performance over the entire load range with quick acceleration and immediate load response. Its proven reliability ensures long time between overhauls (TBO) and no unscheduled maintenance or repair work.
This engine is available as methanol-ready version.
- 750 – 900 rpm
- 2,100 – 3,690 kW
MAN L21/31 propulsion
The MAN L21/31 engine combines intelligent use of fuel in marine applications with flexible propulsion systems. It is the ideal power source, for example, for small to medium-sized tankers, cargo ships and ferries.
The proven engine is characterized by its reliability and low consumption.
This engine is available as methanol-ready version.
- 1,000 rpm
- 1,290 – 1,935 kW

Twin MAN 175D Engines Power World’s Largest Sportfish Yacht
Royal Huisman, the Dutch shipbuilder and specialist in high-performance sailing yachts, cruising yachts and luxury superyachts, has commissioned the sportfish yacht ‘Special One’ and will present it at the 2024 Monaco Yacht Show. Also known as Project 406, Royal Huisman calls the 52m aluminium-hulled newbuilding the largest and most luxurious sportfish yacht in the world. The new vessel is powered by 2 × MAN 20V175D-ML engines, each offering 4,400kW.
Benjamin Andres, Head of Sales, Four-Stroke Marine, MAN Energy Solutions, said: “This is a very special superyacht from Royal Huisman, which celebrates its 140th anniversary this year and has perfected the art of building such vessels. It has been fascinating to be part of such a unique project and follow the Special One’s journey from early design drafts and engineering through successful sea trials in the North Sea. Seeing it unveiled at the Monaco Yacht Show is another memorable moment and hopefully just the first of many appearances for our top, state-of-the-art, high-speed 175D engine at such a prestigious showcase.”
Florian Keiler, Head of High-Speed Sales, Four-Stroke Marine, MAN Energy Solutions, said: “The 175D engine is the perfect choice for the yacht segment for many reasons, especially due to its current status as the most powerful high-speed engine on the market with its recently extended output of 4,400 kW. Crucially for the Special One, the compactness of the 175D means that it can fit into the most restricted of engine rooms, while its environmental footprint and operating costs are unbeatably low due to its high fuel-efficiency and long service-intervals. Add to this the global PrimeServ aftersales network and the 175D really offers the complete package for the yacht segment.”
