Clean Marine to Supply EGCS for two More vessels
Clean Marine has signed a contract with the Chinese yard Huanghai Shipbuilding Co.Ltd. for the supply of exhaust gas cleaning systems (EGCS) on two reefer/fishing support vessels. The vessels are owned by EF Transport (Malta) Ltd, whose fishing fleet is primarily engaged in the North-East Atlantic and is therefore highly exposed to the current IMO legislation, which calls for a maximum 0.1 percent sulphur level in air emissions in Emission Control Areas (ECA). The installation of Clean Marine EGCS will enable the new reefers to comply with the existing and future emissions regulation without switching to more expensive fuels. With an EGCS installed, the vessels can burn cheap and readily available Heavy Fuel Oil instead of Marine Gas Oil.
MAN Propulsion Packages for New Trawler Series
Icelandic owners, HB Grandi, Vinnslustodin hf. and Hradfrystihusid Gunnvör, have ordered newbuildings based on two different ship designs from specialist fishing-vessel consultants and designers, Nautic and Skipasýn. Optimized for safety, operational economy and pulling power, the 50-meter-plus vessel series differ in their choice of specified propeller, aft-ship and propeller-nozzle configurations, apart from their principal design differences. The Nautic vessels for HB Grandi will be propelled by four-bladed…
MAN Propulsion Packages for New Icelandic Trawlers
MAN Diesel and Turbo inform that Icelandic owners, HB Grandi, Vinnslustodin hf. and Hradfrystihusid Gunnvör, have ordered newbuildings based on two different ship designs from specialist fishing-vessel consultants and designers, Nautic and Skipasýn. Optimised for safety, operational economy and pulling power, the 50-metre-plus vessel series differ in their choice of specified propeller, aft-ship and propeller-nozzle configurations, apart from their principal design differences. The Nautic vessels for HB Grandi will be propelled by 4-bladed, 3.8-metre MAN Alpha CP Propellers, while the Skipasýn vessels will have larger, slower-running 4.7-metre, 3-bladed versions for a calculated bollard pull above 50 tons.

First ME-B Sees Light of Day
MAN B&W S40ME-B engine. The new engine has been built by STX Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. at its Changwon works to the south of the Korean peninsula, and passed its Type Approval Test. The 6S40ME-B is the first such prime-mover for a series of multipurpose vessels of 25,000 dwt currently being built in China by Shandong Huanghai Shipbuilding Co. Ltd., and ordered by shipowner InterShip Navigation of Cyprus. The engine delivers 6,810 kW at 146 rpm with an MEP of 21 bar. The ME-B design is based on the experience gathered from MAN Diesel’s existing MC-C and ME-C engine ranges. To suit the small-bore segment, the ME-B design uses a camshaft-operated exhaust valve and an electronically controlled fuel-injection system as seen with the ME-C range.
