Dual fuel serves a dual purpose 

The concept of dual-fuel engines was designed to satisfy market demands to utilize natural gas as a fuel. Now, there’s a growing need for engines that use natural gas to reduce environmental impact alongside the economic benefits.

When you choose an MAN dual-fuel engine, you choose a power solution that meets or exceeds the strict requirements that vessels operate under when sailing in environmentally sensitive regions. Every step we take to make our engines more efficient can have a measurable effect on both environment and your bottom line.

MAN L23/30DF and L28/32DF

Our marine systems expertise is focused on emission reduction, complete propulsion packages, electrical propulsion, dual-fuel, LNG, and digitalized services. Meeting the challenge of more eco-friendly energy systems, without compromising on their reliability and cost-effectiveness, requires a new way of thinking. 

MAN Energy Solutions has risen to the occasion with proven two-stroke main engines and four-stroke GenSet engines: the dual fuel MAN L23/30DF is based on the popular and robust MAN L23/30H GenSet, and is available for new buildings as well as an economical retrofit solution.

The MAN L28/32DF engine is based on the proven MAN L28/32H, recognized worldwide as an ultra-reliable and robust GenSet with long times between overhauls (TBOs). Its ability to run on gas offers economical and environmental advantages, especially as part of a complete power package.
