Engine installation for Austal US-built Hawaii catamaran

摘要

Construction of the first of two 107m-long fast catamaran ferries by Austal USA has reached a new stage with the installation ahead of schedule of its four MTU 8000-series diesel engines. Each of the 45tonne 20-cylinder engines fitted to the Austal Auto Express 107 passenger/vehicle ferry, which is destined for operation by Hawaii Superferry, produces 8200kW at 1150rev/min.
