Discover our portfolio of proven MAN B&W two-stroke engines
MAN B&W ME-C
Our ME-C engines with
electronic controls serve up a host of advantages. You can look forward to
superior performance parameters, compactness, fully integrated electronic control
as well as the necessary fuel injection pressure and rate shaping at any load.
Plus the ME-C engine can be retrofitted for alternative fuels such as methanol,
LPG, LNG or ethane as well as ammonia from 2025.
- Engine speed: rpm to 56 – 167
- Output: 4,350 – 82,440 kW at L1
MAN B&W ME-GI
The ME-GI engine impresses with extremely low methane slip emissions and very high fuel efficiency. It is the most environmentally friendly LNG-fuelled engine on the market. By the optional use of fuel oil or LNG/bio-methane/SNG, it represents a highly efficient, flexible, propulsion-plant solution.
- Engine speed: rpm to 56 – 167
- Output: 4,350 – 82,440 kW at L1
MAN B&W ME-GIE
The technology of the ME-GIE is based on our successful ME-GI engine. This engine can be operated with ethane as well as fuel oil – which makes it the standard choice for ethane carriers. This engine offers very competitive fuel oil and gas consumption, plus operational stability and efficiency due to the diesel principle.
- Engine speed: 62 – 127 rpm
- Output: 8,600 – 29,120 kW at L1
MAN B&W ME-GA
The ME-GA engine is the latest addition to our dual fuel portfolio. Gas is admitted during the compression stroke, which allows for a lower supply pressure compared to other dual fuel engines. This is advantageous for LNG carriers with large amounts of boil-off gas. The ME-GA engine comes with our proven EGR design as standard for reduced methane slip emission, as well as improved fuel efficiency in both gas and fuel oil mode.
- Engine speed: rpm to 66 – 78
- Output: 14,150 – 16,980 kW at L1
MAN B&W ME-LGIM
Our ME-LGIM is a dual-fuel engine characterized by its high efficiency and capability of operating on methanol. With a proven record of more than 600.000 operating hours on methanol alone, the engine concept is proven and provides a high degree of reliability.
When fuelled by green methanol, our ME-LGIM engine can offer truly carbon-neutral propulsion, while reducing sulphur and particle matter emissions significantly at the same time.
- Engine speed: 58 – 117 rpm
- Output: 6,950 – 82,440 kW at L1
MAN B&W ME-LGIP
Our ME-LGIP is the only two-stroke dual-fuel engine on the market which can be fuelled with LPG. The low operational costs as well as the simple retrofit solution are particularly convincing.
- Engine speed: 62 –105 rpm
- Output: 8,600 – 22,720 kW at L1
Always an optimal choice
The MAN Energy Solutions two-stroke portfolio delivers the highest performance and efficiency across all engine types.
MAN B&W two-stroke engines from the 30 to 95 cm bore sizes have a total power range from 3,200 kW to 82,440 measured at L1. With a vast range of different fuel injection concepts from traditional fuel oils, to gaseous and liquid gasses, MAN ensures that you have your future fuel strategy covered.
All MAN B&W engines follow the same naming convention and seemingly random engine names actually carry a lot of useful information.

World’s Largest Car Carriers Ordered with MAN Energy Solutions Propulsion Package
Chinese yard, Guangzhou Shipbuilding International (GSI), has received an order for 4 × MAN B&W 8S60ME-GI engines in connection with the building of 4 × 10,800 CEU Pure Car and Truck Carriers (PCTCs) for South Korean shipping owner, HMM Co. Ltd.. CSIC Diesel Engine Co. Ltd (CSE) will build the Mk10.5 dual-fuel -GI (-Gas Injection) engines in China, which will feature Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) emissions-reduction technology for Tier III NOx compliance.
Upon delivery, the PCTCs will go out on charter to Hyundai Glovis Co., Ltd., the logistics company headquartered in Seoul, South Korea and part of the Hyundai Kia Automotive Group.
MAN Energy Solutions will also provide the 3 × MAN 8L28/32DF (Dual-Fuel) GenSets aboard each vessel with CSSC Marine Power Zhenjian Ltd. (CMP) set to build these, also in China.
Bjarne Foldager – Country Manager, Denmark – MAN Energy Solutions, said: “We are delighted to secure this order, underscoring MAN Energy Solutions' ability to deliver comprehensive propulsion solutions for cutting-edge PCTC projects. This achievement sets the stage for establishing a market standard in next-generation PCTC vessels, integrating our trusted and proven engines. Winning contracts for both main and auxiliary engines aligns with our strategic goal of providing complete propulsion packages. Congratulations to HMM for their bold commitment to decarbonisation.”
Thomas S. Hansen – Head of Sales and Promotion – MAN Energy Solutions, said: “The car carrier market is currently thriving and demand for new tonnage is at an all-time high. Most of these newbuildings are with dual-fuel engines – on account of new emission regulations – with LNG leading the way as most popular alternative fuel. That said, our main engines here will also be delivered as both methanol- and ammonia-ready. Accordingly, the ME-GI engine remains the most prominent dual-fuel engine in the market with more than 700 orders. It is the world’s most efficient, methane-fuelled engine and has extremely low levels of methane slip, which make it the industry’s leading dual-fuel engine across vessel types such as container vessels, bulk carriers, tankers, as well as car carriers.”
