The ultra-long-stroke G60ME-C9 engine is due to power a tanker owned by Istanbul-based Densa Tankers, the international ship management and chartering company specialising in oil and chemical tankers. The vessel will be managed by Thome, the Singapore-based provider of global, integrated ship management services
MAN Diesel & Turbo reports it has close to 200 G-type engines on order, spread over a broad spectrum of applications and a number of different licensees – with HHI-EMD leading the field – and states that it has the fastest market acceptance any engine series in the MAN B&W portfolio has ever received.
