Wärtsilä
46DF
560–16,800 kWrated powerThe Wärtsilä 46DF is the market-leading dual-fuel medium-speed engine for LNG-fuelled vessels. Operating on natural gas in lean-burn mode, it achieves very low NOx and near-zero methane slip. It serves as both a main engine and power plant across LNG carriers, cruise ships, and ferries.
MAN B&W
6G80MEC10.5
24,900–28,700 kWrated powerThe MAN B&W 6G80ME-C10.5 is a six-cylinder, large-bore two-stroke diesel engine optimised for Tier III compliance via SCR or EGR. Its long stroke design maximises thermal efficiency at slow steaming speeds, making it the workhorse choice for Panamax and Aframax class vessels.
MAN B&W
7S65MEC8.6
19,460–22,750 kWrated powerThe MAN B&W 7S65ME-C8.6 is a seven-cylinder super-long-stroke two-stroke diesel engine widely used in Handymax and Supramax bulk carriers. The S-type design provides an exceptional stroke-to-bore ratio, contributing to lower fuel oil consumption compared to earlier bore-series designs.
MAN B&W
G90MEME-GI-S
34,300–67,680 kWrated powerThe MAN B&W G90ME-GI-S is a large-bore, two-stroke, gas-injection main engine for ocean-going merchant vessels. The ME-GI designation denotes Gas Injection with a pilot oil ignition system. It supports dual-fuel operation on LNG or methane with conventional HFO as fallback.
Wärtsilä
RT-flex96C
56,980–80,080 kWrated powerThe Wärtsilä RT-flex96C is the world's largest reciprocating engine by output and bore. Using common-rail fuel injection and variable exhaust valve timing, it achieves high thermal efficiency. The engine was notably used in the E-class Maersk vessels.
Wärtsilä
X72
9,000–12,600 kWrated powerThe Wärtsilä X72 is a next-generation two-stroke engine designed for future fuel flexibility, supporting HFO, LNG, and ammonia fuel paths within the same engine platform. Its modular common-rail injection system enables simplified switching between fuel modes with minimal downtime.

Caterpillar
3516C
1,342–2,460 kWrated powerThe Caterpillar 3516C is a V16 high-speed diesel engine widely used for shipboard power generation aboard offshore vessels, FPSOs, and cruise ships. Its modular construction allows rapid replacement of sub-assemblies without removing the engine from the engine room.
MAN
L27/38
810–2,700 kWrated powerThe MAN L27/38 is one of the most widely deployed medium-speed auxiliary engines in the merchant fleet. Its proven design provides reliable power generation for vessel hotel loads and port operations. Available in 5 to 9 cylinder configurations, it is compact enough for installation in tight engine rooms.
Wärtsilä
W20
165–1,320 kWrated powerThe Wärtsilä 20 is a compact four-stroke auxiliary engine designed for vessels requiring reliable power generation in constrained engine room spaces. Its common-rail injection system enables cleaner combustion with lower particulate emissions compared to earlier jerk-pump designs.
Thrusters & Azimuth Drives
2 profiles in catalogue
Rolls-Royce
AzipullAZP100
3,500–7,500 kWrated powerThe Rolls-Royce Azipull AZP100 is a pulling-type azimuth thruster that delivers enhanced hydrodynamic efficiency over conventional pusher configurations. The propeller operates ahead of the pod in undisturbed water, reducing cavitation and noise — critical for cable-laying and survey vessels.
Wärtsilä
LJX
220–3,000 kWrated powerThe Wärtsilä LJX tunnel thruster series is designed for low-vibration harbour manoeuvring. With an integrated motor and variable pitch propeller, the LJX delivers rapid thrust response essential for DP-class vessels and large cruise ships entering confined berths.
