Siem Confucius and Siem Aristotle are the names of the new pure car truck carriers (PCTCs), significant in that they are the world's first trans-Atlantic PCTCs to operate full-time on LNG. Built for Siem Car Carriers at Xiamen Shipyard in China, both ships - which will transport cars for the VW Group between Europe and China - are powered by an identical MAN Energy Solutions' propulsion solution. Each ship features individual MAN B&W S60ME-GI (-Gas Injection) dual-fuel, two-stroke engines that deliver 12,600 kW with direct injection and exhaust-gas treatment to further reduce emissions. Each main engine is accompanied by 2 x 9L28/32DF + 1 x 7L28/32DF dual-fuel auxiliary engines. In addition, bothships are driven by a four-blade, 6.95-m diameter MAN Alpha Kappel design fixed pitch propeller. The propellers were produced by MAN's propeller licensee, Dalian Marine Propeller Co., Ltd., in China.

机译：暹罗孔子（Siem Confucius）和暹罗亚里斯多德（Siem Aristotle）是新的纯汽车卡车运输船（PCTC）的名称，这一点很重要，因为它们是世界上第一个全天候使用LNG运营的跨大西洋PCTC。为中国大众汽车集团在中国厦门造船厂建造的这两艘船（将为大众集团在欧洲和中国之间运输汽车）均采用相同的MAN Energy Solutions的推进解决方案提供动力。每艘船均配备独立的MAN B＆W S60ME-GI（气体喷射）双燃料，二冲程发动机，可提供12,600 kW的直喷和废气处理功能，以进一步减少排放。每个主引擎都配有2 x 9L28 / 32DF + 1 x 7L28 / 32DF双燃料辅助引擎。此外，两艘船均由直径为6.95毫米的四叶片MAN Alpha Kappel设计的固定螺距螺旋桨驱动。这些螺旋桨是由MAN的螺旋桨执照持有者中国大连船舶螺旋桨有限公司生产的。
