To fulfill your commitments concerning safety at sea or other special tasks, MTU offers specialty engines for special-purpose vessels. They are ideal for fire boats, rescue cruisers, oil spill combating vessels, research vessels, pilot vessels and survey ships, buoy laying vessels, dredgers, icebreakers or SWATH ships – to name just a few. Among such a diverse range of ships, each with its own complex requirements for drive systems, there’s no partner like MTU. When it comes to high performance and reliability, our diesel engines are up to the challenge across the full 261 kW (Series S60) to 2,240 kW (Series 4000) power range. With high torque levels, excellent performance response characteristics and intelligent controls, our engines react quickly and dynamically even under maximum load. This provides for powerful acceleration and the highest levels of maneuverability in any water or swell – and even in ice. And as a system provider, we supply more than just engines; we also offer the ideal gensets for onboard power generation and intelligent ship automation systems.
