Propulsion Trends in Container Vessels 19/08/2008 | |
The use of containers started during the Second World War, and the first ship specifically designed for container transportation appeared in 1960, viz. the Supanya, of 610 teu. Particularly, the amount of cargo shipped in containers has increased considerably over the last fifteen years, resulting in a rapid increase in both the number and the size of container vessels during this period. | |

Service Experience 2008, MAN B&W Engines The ME/ME-C and MC/MC-C Series 04/08/2008 | |
The introduction of the electronically controlled camshaft-less low speed diesel engines is proceeding rapidly, with many ME engines ordered and, consequently, many ME engines entering service. At the time of writing, more than 500 ME engines are on order or have been delivered. This number proves the market’s acceptance of this technology. At the end of 2007, 130 ME/ME-C engines were in service. | |

LNG Carrier Power 05/06/2008 | |
This paper investigates the DFDE propulsion plant from different angles, discusses the benefits of different engine configurations, and demonstrates that the multi-engine DFDE plant with the right configuration provides full maintainability at any time of the voyage and, in addition, matches traditional steam propulsion systems in terms of fuel flexibility. | |

Selection of LNG Carrier Propulsion Systems 22/06/2006 | |
The economical benefits of the different modern LNG carrier propulsion systems depend on many factors. MAN Diesel has developed a method, which permits to compare the profitability of different propulsion systems for all possible oil- & gas price combinations in just one chart – the charterer nomogram. | |

Installation Aspects of MAN B&W Main and Auxiliary 08/10/2002 | |
When the required vessel power profile has been evaluated and determined, both with regard to propulsion load and electrical load, the next step is to design the engine room configuration so that it will also be optimal with regard to installation, operation and maintenance. MAN B&W Holeby has not only looked at this as an isolated case for the L16/24 type auxiliary engines but, as described in the following, has also looked at it in relation to the MAN B&W twostroke main engine on board. | |

CP Propeller - Product Information 06/11/2007 | |
The purpose of this Product Information brochure is to act as a guide in the project planning of MAN Diesel´s Alpha propeller equipment. The brochure gives a description of the basic design principles of the Alpha Controllable Pitch (CP) propeller equipment. It contains dimensional sketches, thereby making it possible to work out shaft line and engine room arrangement drawings. Furthermore, a guideline to some of the basic layout criteria is given. | |

Propulsion of Offshore Support Vessels 26/11/2005 | |
The development of the offshore propulsion business at MAN Diesel dates back to the early 1970s, and has since then not only been focused on supplying complete propulsion systems but has also been concentrated on the associated know-how and technology. The demand for system engineering and package responsibility has grown in recent years. One reason is the reduced technical staff at most shipyards in combination with outsourcing of technical work to consultants and partners. | |
