Lifecycle Upgrade: Scope of Upgrade
We apply the latest design and performance upgrades for MAN engines that have been operated. Lifecycle Upgrade covers the modernization and re-conditioning of vital parts and makes your engine future-fuel-ready.
Your benefits:
- Your 48/60A or B engine gets almost disassembled completely. Mainly the crankshaft and frame will remain.
- MAN engineers will renew most other components.
- The scope of the Lifecycle Upgrade includes approximately 70% of wear-relevant components, which provides for 100% of the wear parts of the original engines.
Intermediate step
Lifecycle Upgrade: No worries with an intermediate step
Future fuels are good opportunities to approach future legislation or business case requirements and reach emission reductions. You can approach this transition without worries with a Lifecycle Upgrade.
Your benefits:
- Your MAN engine is future-fuel-ready.
- You can later deploy a retrofit upgrade for future fuels like Methanol.
- You receive new engine & emission documents.

Future fuels are coming. Are you ready?
Upgrading ship engines to prepare them for future fuels is essential to remain competitive and efficient in the shipping industry. Newer fuel forms will likely be more sustainable and cost-effective, and having engines that can use these fuels will be a competitive advantage. Additionally, retrofitting engines to use these fuels will reduce emissions and noise pollution, helping to protect the environment. Upgrading ship engines is the intelligent choice for any business looking to remain competitive and protect the environment.
Stay flexible and adapt
Lifecycle Upgrade offers more than just maintenance. You can upgrade your current 48/60 engine to the latest serial engine design to stay ahead of future fuel regulations. This upgrade will also provide you with renewed certificates and warranties, allowing you to meet regulations before they are put into law.
Features of a new engine
Your MAN engine is as good as new with a Lifecycle Upgrade. The upgrade comes with an improved spare parts availability and a performance boost which helps you keep operating costs down.
