JFE, a Japanese engine manufacturer, has entered a new cooperation agreement with MAN Diesel and Turbo for MAN's 32/44CR, 35/44DF, 48/60CR and 51/60DF modern four-stroke engine types.
The agreement applies to marine newbuild projects for ships to be deployed on Japanese domestic trade routes, and where the shipyards and shipowners involved are located in Japan.
JFE has produced and supplied medium-speed diesel engines since 1964 under the SEMT Pielstick license, which was acquired by the MAN Group in 2006.
The MAN Diesel and Turbo common-rail engines cover a power range of 3,600 to 21,600kW and their fully electronically controlled injection system is suitable for both heavy fuel oil and distillate fuels.
Upon customer request, the common-rail engines can be provided with ECOMAP capability, an innovative feature for the MAN 32/44CR and 48/60CR engines: the flexibility of the CR-system permits the engine to be programmed to follow different SFOC/power characteristics, with each having an optimal efficiency at different load points.
