Engineered to meet IMO Tier II emissions standards, it is turbocharged with an intercooler for efficient performance. Common maintenance issues include piston ring wear under low-load conditions, cylinder liner glazing due to polishing, and fuel injection nozzle coking, especially with high-sulphur fuels.
