GenSets and Diesel-electric propulsion
MAN L28/32DF GenSet
Based on the ultra-reliable and robust MAN 28/32H, the dual-fuel version is available as newbuild or retrofit and adds the ability to run on methane, with its economic and environmental advantages. High efficiency in gas and diesel mode makes it a perfect GenSet as part of a complete power package with four-stroke or two-stroke propulsion engines. Easy operation, easy maintenance and proven reliability also make it a trusted propulsion engine with long times between overhauls and low life cycle costs.
- 720 – 750 rpm
- 1,050 – 1,890 kW
- 1,000 – 1,800 kWe
MAN L23/30H Mk3 GenSet
By applying innovative technology to classic design principles, the MAN L23/30H Mk3 is engineered to meet the power needs of most commercial ship types. Straight forward integration requirements make it a perfect choice for low-cost installation, while well-known maintenance procedures and common spare parts reduce operating costs. The new model raises power output per cylinder by 15-20% and reduces fuel oil consumption.
- 720 – 900 rpm
- 500 – 1,800 kW
- 475 – 1,710 kWe
MAN L23/30DF GenSet
The MAN L23/30DF dual-fuel GenSet lets you select the most economic fuel for the operating condition. The cost optimized fuel injection system is designed for high reliability and cost-efficiency. It uses the main injection valve to inject pilot oil. This way, separate injectors, piping and pumps for main oil and pilot oil or a common rail system are not needed, saving on installation costs and maintenance. The monocoque design also eases the installation of the engine series and reduces weight.
- 720 – 900 rpm
- 625 – 1,320 kW
- 590 – 1,255 kWe
This methanol-fuelled engine is a compact and reliable power source designed to run on methanol, heavy fuel oil (HFO), and most bio-fuel oils. When powered by green methanol, it is carbon neutral. The new engine type maintains the reliability and low consumption of the proven MAN 21/31, ensuring security of power supply on large vessels and handling load steps with confidence.
- 900 – 1,000 rpm
- 1,000 – 1,980 kW
- 950 – 1,880 kWe
Propulsion engines
The robust and reliable MAN L27/38 delivers good performance over the entire load range with quick acceleration and immediate load response. Its proven reliability ensures long time between overhauls (TBO) and no unscheduled maintenance or repair work.
This engine is available as methanol-ready version.
- 750 – 900 rpm
- 2,100 – 3,690 kW
MAN L21/31 propulsion
The MAN L21/31 engine combines intelligent use of fuel in marine applications with flexible propulsion systems. It is the ideal power source, for example, for small to medium-sized tankers, cargo ships and ferries.
The proven engine is characterized by its reliability and low consumption.
This engine is available as methanol-ready version.
- 1,000 rpm
- 1,290 – 1,935 kW

MAN 175D Engines Selected for Carbon Capture Storage Application
The Royal Niestern Sander shipyard in the Netherlands has ordered 2 × MAN 16V175D MEM engines (2,400 kWm/1,800 rpm) in connection with the building of an MPV (Multi-Purpose Vessel) vessel – ‘Easymax 5’ – for Dutch outfit, Wagenborg Operator. The engines will be employed as GenSets for power generation aboard the purpose-built CO2 carrier, which will be employed in the offshore, substrate storage of CO2.
The vessel will be the fifth under the EasyMax concept jointly developed by Wagenborg and Niestern Sander with a cargo capacity of 14,000 tons. It will ultimately be chartered by Ineos, Denmark and the 175D engines are scheduled for delivery during 2025.
The CO2 for storage will come from a bio-gas plant in Denmark, from where it will be transported to Esbjerg on the Danish west coast for loading aboard the vessel before proceeding to the Greensand storage site in the Danish North Sea. The MAN 175D GenSets are intended to give the Easymax 5’s CO2 pump and DP2 systems more power during discharge into offshore storage.
Bart Speckens, Regional Sales Manager, MAN Energy Solutions, said: “This order represents a new type of reference for the 175D. In general, 175D is a versatile engine with the lowest environmental footprint and operating costs in its class due to its high fuel-efficiency and long service-intervals. We’re proud to be involved in such a crucial project that ultimately will sequester millions of tonnes of carbon dioxide from hard-to-abate industries.”
In keeping with its slogan of ‘Moving Big Things to Zero’, MAN Energy Solutions provides the shipping industry with green engines that can operate on climate-neutral fuels, but also offers the actual carbon-capture-and-processing technologies essential for global industry to achieve net zero. Once captured, CO2 can be stored and reused to form the backbone of a circular carbon economy. Of the 18 large-scale facilities currently in commercial operation globally, fully eight employ MAN CO2 compression technology.
About the MAN 175D engine
MAN Energy Solutions developed the MAN 175D engine range to supplement and complete its product portfolio in the maritime sector. Available in three variants of 12-, 16- and 20-cylinders, the engine is available with an output ranging from 1,500 to 4,400 Kilowatts and is optimised for propelling ferries, offshore support ships, tugs and other working vessels. Other market areas, such as superyachts, planing yachts and naval marine applications are also served by additional engine variants.
The 175D is also an extremely eco-friendly engine, having been designed from the outset for low fuel consumption, coupled with compliance to the latest exhaust-gas-emission standards and considering as well future-fuel requirements where it is already cleared for operation on biofuels such as FAME and HVO.
