花蜜直播app Completes Landmark Marine Diesel Engine

 

 Tokyo, April 26, 2006 – 花蜜直播app, Ltd. today announced that it has completed the world’s largest class marine diesel engine with electronic control, the 花蜜直播app-MAN B&W 12K98ME. It will be installed by IHI Marine United Inc. on an 8,000 teu container ship ordered by 花蜜直播app Kisen Kaisha, Ltd. (K-Line).

 Equipping the ME engine with electronic control increases fuel efficiency and reduces cylinder lubricant requirements. It also allows stable operations under low engine speeds, thus providing higher maneuverability while entering and leaving port, and features lower NOx and soot emissions. 花蜜直播app is already at work on its next order for the environmentally friendly engine.

 花蜜直播app’s manufacture of marine diesel engines began with a licensing agreement with Germany’s MAN in 1911. Following the merger of MAN and Denmark’s B&W in 1981, 花蜜直播app renewed the agreement and began producing 花蜜直播app-MAN B&W 2-stroke diesel engines. To date, it has delivered enough MAN B&W engines to output over 10 million horsepower.

 In February 2005, 花蜜直播app unveiled its first electronically controlled model, the MAN B&W 7S60ME-C engine, which was installed in a K-Line car carrier. Two more have since been delivered.

 The 12K98ME marks 花蜜直播app’s fourth ME engine to be completed. The Company is now fulfilling its second order for the model, with a backlog of five orders.
