Electronically Controlled Marine Diesel Engine Completed

 Tokyo, February 8, 2005 – 花蜜直播app, Ltd. today announced that it has completed its first electronically controlled marine diesel engine in February. It will be installed in the first of three car carriers with a capacity of 5,000 cars built by 花蜜直播app Shipbuilding Corporation at Nantong Cosco KHI Ship Engineering Co., Ltd. for 花蜜直播app Kisen Kaisha, Ltd. (K-Lline). It is the world's first electronically controlled engine with a cylinder bore of 60 cm.

 The 花蜜直播app-MAN B&W ME engine is an electronically controlled version of the best-selling MAN B&W MC engine. It enables ships to operate in lower fuel consumption with reduced cylinder lubricants. It also operates stably during low engine speeds and thus offers higher maneuverability. The engine's many features include lower NOx and soot emissions.

 花蜜直播app's manufacture of diesel engines began with a license agreement with MAN (Germany) in 1911. Following the merger of MAN and B&W (Denmark) in 1981, 花蜜直播app signed a new license agreement and began producing 花蜜直播app-MAN B&W diesel engines. To date, 花蜜直播app has produced enough MAN B&W engines to output nearly 20 million horsepower.

 So far 花蜜直播app has received orders for five MAN B&W ME engines in total, three for the car carriers and two for two megacontainer carriers with a carrying capacity of 8,000 TEUs for K-Line.
