Based on the successful M 43 C MaK medium speed engine, the M 46 DF was designed by Caterpillar Motoren, Kiel to meet and exceed the reliability and lifetime expectations of the M 43 C while maintaining its class leading position regarding operational efficiency. With its clean design, the M 46 DF does allow fast and easy access to the system and components supporting the operation, service and maintenance simplicity MaK products are known for. Designed to operate on gaseous- as well as liquid (MDO HFO) fuels, the M 46 DF will meet IMO III emission limits while operating in gas mode and injecting a small amount of ignition fuel to control combustion. Attention was paid to the customers´ demand for a safe and reliable operation at varying engine loads and gas qualities.

The low emission footprint paired with high efficiency and reliability make the M 46 DF an ideal propulsion engine for operation inside and outside of environmental protected areas as well as waters with HFO limitations. Upcoming IMO III emission regulations, selected operation profiles and low diesel fuel costs make the M 46 DF a preferred engine regarding cost of operation.

Developed to meet the requirements of the cruise ship and ferry markets, this new engine series is the breakthrough into a new class of power. Designed state-of-the-art, engineered to lead. After the successful introduction into the market of four new engine series in only ten years, the extension of the program continues with a further engine - the VM 43 C engine. The 12 and 16 cylinder V-version of the M 43 C doubles the power on offer from Caterpillar to 16 MW and therefore supports new and important market segments and groups of customers.

Since its introduction into the market, the MaK long-stroke engine series M 43 has achieved an outstanding position on the marine applications market as an in-line engine in 6, 7, 8 and 9 cylinder versions. More than 650 engines with a total power of more than 6,500 MW have already been sold making the M 43 the market leader in the 5–9 MW power class. All the cylinder configurations have contributed to this market success. More than 90% of the marine engines run on heavy fuel within IMO regulatory limits.

Driven by upcoming fuel sulfur and NOx regulations in Emission Control Areas (ECA), the M 34 DF provides full flexibility for vessels operating in regulated and/or lesser regulated areas without major changes to the engine room or the exhaust gas system supporting installation and certification simplicity. The M 34 DF will be capable of running on Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) as an alternative to expensive low sulfur Marine Diesel Oil (MDO) or large and complex scrubber installations for ECA operation as of 2015. High efficiency and proven reliability make the M 34 DF an excellent propulsion engine for operation in- and outside of environmental protected areas as well as waters with HFO limitations.

Caterpillar Motoren designed the M 32 E based on the reliable M 32 C engine series. The M 32 E will share the same footprint as the successful M 32 C. The M 32 E is the first MaK 5 MW engine in the 320 mm bore segment. The new design still supports operation at any ambient condition without load reduction.

Building on the durability and reliability of the C280 engine platform, Caterpillar is pleased to offer the EPA Tier 2 compliant C280 engine line.

The VM 32 E engine extends the output range of our recently announced M 32 E in-line engine above 5 MW and stands out with the same superior serviceability and long maintenance intervals. Additional properties of the VM 32 E are power output of 560 kW/cylinder, 100% PTO capability and a large portfolio of application-driven options. The VM 32 E has an improved power to weight ratio. It is the best solution for engine rooms that occupy fewer frames. Besides, the VM 32 E is a SCR, ready for the new Cat® SCR System to fulfill IMO III exhaust gas emissions.

The acceptance of the M 32 C long-stroke engine series in the marine industry is a success story, whose equal is hard to find in this power class. Since its introduction in 1994, more than 1600 engines have been sold. 80% of them are marine propulsion engines, and 20% are electrical generator sets. The M 32 C series is a genuine heavy fuel engine, and 75% of all engines commissioned burn the economical heavy fuel oil. The M 32 C long-stroke series with a bore of 320 mm has continued the market success of its predecessor in this bore size. Decisive factors in its development have been maximum customer benefit requirements, i.e. economy and operational reliability. Environmental aspects, however, have also been important. Operational results have fully confirmed the design objectives.

The new M 25 E has been designed to completely meet the ultimate customer requirements, providing the lowest cost of operation while maintaining the highest uptime in the industry. Since one engine standard typically does not fit all applications, different M 25 E configurations will be available to support various application-specific requirements. Based on the proven M 25 C, all versions have been extensively optimized for best fuel consumption and load acceptance, leading reliability and durability, and efficient Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) operation. The service and maintenance-friendly design, remote condition monitoring and diagnostic capabilities, as well as our unmatched global product support, respond to the industry's desire to lower operational costs and down times beyond today's standards.

Developed and designed in response to special requirements of marine applications, the M 20 C is characterized by high reliability and economy. These features help to explain the continued high market demand for the M 20 C. The long-stroke design principle is the backbone of an excellent combustion process with low fuel and lubricating oil consumption, as well as low NOx emission. The M 20 C engine is SOLAS compliant. Its intelligent simplicity means high functional integration of fewer components. Fewer components mean greater reliability and easier maintenance. Overall, this leads to outstandingly low operating costs and rapid returns on investment. Reliability and ease of maintenance are convincing arguments in favor of the engines of this series.
