MASSIVE MAN PROPULSION PACKAGE FOR HEEREMA CRANE VESSEL

摘要

MAN Diesel & Turbo has signed a contract with Sembcorp Marine in Singapore to supply a dual-fuel propulsion system - including exhaust gas after-treatment - for Heerema Offshore Services'new semi-submersible crane vessel (NSCV). The scope of the contract provides for 12 MAN 8L51/60DF four-stroke engines plus 12 MAN selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems. MAN Diesel &Turbo says that the total power output of the engines is some 96 megawatts and, with the exception of power barges, believes it to be one of the largest engine installations the world has ever seen aboard a single ship. It is certainly the first vessel of this size to feature dual-fuel technology and, on completion, will be the largest vessel of its kind globally. The eagines are due to be delivered in the first quarter of 2017 with the vessel due to be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2018.
