Italian RoRo operator chooses MAN power solution

As the engine manufacturer MAN Diesel & Turbo has announced, it will be powered by a complete MAN propulsion package with two 9L32/44CR medium-speed engines.
The 9L32/44CR engines each develop 5,040 kW at 750 rpm and are complemented by two Renk RSV 900C gearboxes and two Alpha CPP propellers. The engines fulfil IMO Tier II regulations and will be built at MAN Diesel & Turbo’s Augsburg works in Germany from where they are scheduled for delivery in August 2013. The newbuilding is scheduled to follow in April 2014 and - having already been granted a ‘green passport’ and green star certification - will be one of the most efficient and environmentally friendly vessels in its class, MAN said.
