Cruise vessels play a prominent role in the shipping industry. These ‘sailing cities’ carry thousands of passengers on board, going to areas and ports with stringent environmental regulations. Thus, a cruise vessel needs the right prime mover that allows low emissions without a peak in the operating costs.

With maximum reliability and lowest possible emissions as the fundamental requirements, the cruising sector has been fuelling the technological progression of our engines, and propulsion systems in general. Thanks to MAN technologies, these requirements were transformed to reality.

Common rail engines

MAN Common Rail engines are electronically controlled by the engine’s ECU (Electronic Control Unit). It allows optimising and operating the engines at any prescribed point, be it a point of less fuel-consumption or a point of low NOx emission.

Dual-fuel engines

MAN 51/60 DF engines, provide you the right solution to combat the challenges mentioned above. These dual role engines can be run on gas during port operation thus reducing emission, and can be run on diesel during sailing thus proving economical.

Going a step further, these engines also offer you ‘fuel-sharing’ and justify their flexibility.

Let us keep in touch

Through MAN online services, it is possible to execute a connection between the ship’s engine data system and the technical service experts at our headquarters so that, in the unfortunate event of engine breakdown, you have your problems solved at the next port. In this way, you save money, time and of course keep the passengers’ comfort high.
