MAN Diesel & Turbo has received an order for two Turbo Compound Systems including Power Turbine and Generator (TCS-PTG) from Samjin Shipbuilding in Weihai, China.
The TCS-PTGs will be employed aboard two 4,700TEU container vessels currently under construction, operated by German shipowner Reederei Horst Zeppenfeld, each powered by individual MAN B&W 6S80ME-C9.2 low-speed engines. The order includes an option for two extra vessels.
The order represents the first such instance for a marine application for MAN Diesel & Turbo's new generation of TCS-PTG after previous applications at stationary power plants in London and Panama. MAN Diesel & Turbo will also supply two pairs of TCA88 turbochargers at a total project volume of around €4 million (US$5.25 million). Delivery is scheduled to begin by the end of 2012.
