Designed with a robust V-configuration and 4-stroke operation, the Rolls-Royce Bergen B32:40V series engine delivers exceptional performance for maritime applications. The 18VB32:40V model features a bore of 320 mm and a stroke of 400 mm, providing a reliable power output of 8280 kW at 720 rpm. This versatile engine can operate on both heavy fuel oil (HFO) and marine diesel oil (MDO), making it suitable for a wide range of vessel types. The B32:40V series is known for its high efficiency, with a specific fuel consumption ranging from 176 to 185 g/kWh and a specific lubricating oil consumption of just 0.8 g/kWh.
