The next level evolution: Why turning to sports history’s Most Valuable Players (MVPs) is helpful when it comes to new maritime regulations

It’s no secret: these years are bringing new challenging rules in maritime regulation. We say: Great! And in only a couple of minutes you too will know how the new standards can help you save – both money and the environment. We’ll fill you in about the incoming MVP, our new Mk3 injection pump for 32/40 engines, what all that has to do with American football, and how it’s all about rings. But one thing at a time…

Ever heard of Drew Bledsoe? Having entered the NFL as the highest-rated rookie in 1993, Bledsoe played quarterback for the New England Patriots. Upon joining, he quickly led the struggling team to success, even taking the Patriots to the NFL’s final, the Super Bowl. Bledsoe was the poster boy of the new-found success. But in 2001, then one of the league’s leading playmakers, Bledsoe suffered a severe injury. The question was obvious: How do you replace such a great player and leader? The Patriots’ future seemed in danger. So, you might ask, what happened?

Well. Ever heard of one Thomas Edward Patrick Brady? Or, as he is referred to these days, six-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback icon Tom Brady. Unpromisingly drafted at position 199 in 2000 and initially ranked fourth (out of four) in the Patriots’ quarterback hierarchy, absolutely nothing spoke for Brady to become the most successful playmaker in NFL history. But he stepped in for Bledsoe – and the rest is history. Today, with more championship titles than any other quarterback, many consider Brady the GOAT (“greatest of all time”). He proved that when desire meets hard work, success is somehow inevitable, even in the face of problems, or rather: especially then.

Now, what if we told you that there are strong similarities between the Bledsoe-Brady dynamic and the introduction of the new IMO Tier III regulations on stricter rules for fuel oil in marine operation? “That sounds crazy,” you say? Well, yes, it does. But it’s true, nonetheless.

New regulations always mean change. But only those who lack creativity and determination consider change a problem. Our engineers know that new rules offer great opportunities. They applied their talent and desire and created the next level evolution in marine engine operation: our patented Mk3 injection pump for 32/40 engines.

In American sports the champion team’s players are famously given rings rather than medals to commemorate the victory. Tom Brady has six. Considering that the Mk3 injection pump truly is the MVP, it is only fitting that its new sealing ring inside the pump barrel is what sets it apart from the competition. But there are multiple other innovations that make the new pump more than just the successor to MAN’s Mk1 and Mk2 models. The Mk3 injection pump truly represents huge step forwards.
