Fairbanks Morse, part of publicly traded EnPro Industries, Inc., designs and manufactures engines for a wide range of applications—from base load and standby power for municipal, nuclear, and institutional facilities to locomotive engines, and naval and commercial ship propulsion and shipboard power. Fairbanks Morse (FM) has been a long-time supplier of engines to the U.S. Navy—for some 70 of its 125-year history and has supplied about 80% of its propulsion engines. FM was recently awarded a contract to provide four sequentially turbocharged, medium speed, 16-cylinder Colt-Pielstick PC 2.5 diesel engines with common rail (CR) fuel injection for the Navy's 13th landing platform dock, LPD 29, which will be built by Huntington Ingalls Shipbuilding in Pascagoula, MS. MARINE LOG recently interviewed its newly appointed President Deepak Navnith to discuss some of the company's recent successes and technological challenges.
