High level of reliability and lower OPEX with Alpha GenSet
How important are the auxiliary engine characteristics for your vessel?
Modern vessels undertake increasingly complex tasks: separating oil, heating or cooling fuel and cargo, laying cables, drilling wells, lifting heavy objects, monitoring global security and sustainability, and even serving as hospitals. These operations demand 100% reliability of power supply, cost minimization, and environmental protection. MAN Energy Solutions addresses these needs by expanding its offerings to provide reliable and economical gensets. For auxiliary gensets ranging from 200 to 750 kW, the Alpha GenSet stands as the ideal solution.
The Alpha GenSet is a complete, ready-to-install module that includes an engine, alternator, and monitoring system.
Powering a vast range of applications
The Alpha GenSet excels in a variety of marine applications, including small and medium bulkers, tankers, cargo ships, platform supply vessels, tugs, dredgers, patrol vessels, fishing vessels, yachts, and naval ships.
Lightweight and compact
When space and weight are crucial, the Alpha GenSet is the best choice. Its compact design saves space and reduces weight effectively. Plus, its flexible aftertreatment system allows it to fit into even the smallest engine rooms.

Frequently asked questions
What is a typical application of Alpha GenSet?
Alpha GenSet is a marine auxiliary genset, meaning you can always rely on the MAN ES quality standard, regardless of its operating conditions. Due to its engine power range, Alpha GenSet is primarily suited for small and medium bulkers, tankers, cargo ships, platform supply vessels, tugs, dredgers, patrol vessels, fishing vessels, yachts, and navies.
Does it fit for onshore applications
While Alpha GenSet can be used for onshore solutions, the additional expenses associated with its high quality standards and reliability, proven by class approval and MAN ES reputation, make it more suitable for marine applications.
Can an old auxiliary be replaced by Alpha GenSet?
Absolutely. We have already executed many repowering projects for various types of vessels. Replacing old engines with Alpha GenSet increases your vessel's efficiency and sustainability. Repowering will not only provide an engine that requires less frequent repairs but also reduce your OPEX, downtime, and risks. Consult with our specialists to explore the opportunities and benefits of repowering.
