The MAN Diesel & Turbo licensee reported that the test successfully proceeded as expected. The engine has been ordered by the Greek shipping company Almi Tankers and will power a VLCC due for delivery by the Daewoo yard in May this year. Sea trials are scheduled for April. The new engine is the first of two in an identical package ordered by Almi with a second VLCC due for delivery in December this year.
