The further away from land an offshore wind farm operates, the higher the requirements for its service ships. With MTU diesel engines producing between 261 kW (Series S60) and 2,240 kW (Series 4000), crew boats, supply ships or tenders and wind farm maintenance vessels (WMV) can quickly and safely move from land to the wind farm.
Our diesel engines also power many other support ships, such as service operation vessels (SOV), dock ships or jack-up ships and seajacks, swimming cranes or wind turbine installation ships (WTIS) and cable layers, and can allow them to operate for many weeks at sea if necessary.
Our proven drive systems are used in monohull workboats and in catamarans, as well as in SWATH dual-hull boats. In larger vessels our compact diesel engines can be integrated directly into the floats to save space. Robust MTU diesel engines make workboats extremely resilient and reliable in all types of weather and swells. Our diesel-electric drive systems and corresponding drive solutions make multi-purpose ships, crew ships and offshore service ships highly maneuverable, economical and maintenance-friendly, and enable them to take on a wide variety of challenges.
