The 110m-long and 10.6m-wide vessel with a design draught of 6.9m will be built at Sedef Shipyard in Turkey.
The 6-cylinder main engines, each delivering 2,040 kW at 800 rpm, will be constructed at the MAN Diesel & Turbo facility in Frederikshavn, Denmark.
Elcano said it had chosen the engines as part of a MAN Diesel & Turbo propulsion package that also comprises an Alphatronic 2000 propulsion control system, an MAN Alpha VBS Mk 5 CP propeller, and a double-reduction gearbox with multiple PTO clutches operating at 1,200 kW at 1,200 rpm.
