Further programme changes according to IMO emission regulations characterize
the market situation of diesel engines but there is still no tendency towards more
gas or dual-fuel engines.
This year again HANSA is presenting a comprehensive marine engine survey, listing main propulsion diesel and gas engine series with[ds_preview] a power range of 300 kW and above. Even though engine manufacturers prefer the listing of single engine models, we had to put them together to what is known as series to get along with the given space in the magazine.
The quoted power range of every series comprises, as long as applicable, all kinds of applications of the said series, from unlimited workboat propulsion units to yacht propulsion with limited operating time per year. Thus the first information provided is the full power range of the series looked at. With the speed range in the second column, most of all is said to get an impression whether an engine is suitable or not. The marine gas engines were put together as separate groups below the diesel engines of the respective manufacturer.
The data listed are based on corrections and completions of engine manufacturers or were taken from the available latest brochures and/or their internet presentation. However, for the data are published here no responsibility is taken for the correctness of this information. There is no reference made to any emission regulation, as all engines for new ships must comply with IMO Tier 2. This regulation has influenced the engine programmes of several manufacturers. The engine programmes are listed in alphabetical order of the company names respectively the names of divisions if groups of companies or combines are concerned. Within each programme the engine series are listed in the order of their output, always starting with the lowest value of the series.
The production programmes of companies working only on the basis of license agreements are not listed. In such cases reference is made to the programme of the company providing the license. A similar reference is made to well-known engine manufacturers which no longer sell their engines under their name or to companies taken over by others, thus their engine models could be included in the other programme.
