This marine diesel engine operates on a four-stroke principle with a long-stroke configuration, designed to provide efficient power output in maritime applications. The MaK 6LM32-GS-60Hz, now part of Caterpillar's portfolio, delivers 2640 kW of power at 900 rpm, fueled by heavy fuel oil (HFO), marine diesel oil (MDO), diesel, or gas in a dual-fuel setup. With a bore of 320 mm and a stroke of 480 mm, the engine is known for its robust design and reliable performance. It is part of the legacy M32-GS family, which was discontinued in 2022 by Caterpillar. Common maintenance checks include inspecting the camshaft and bearings for wear and axial play, monitoring the crankshaft bearings for wear and gudgeon pin marks, and assessing cylinder liner wear using channel video endoscopy. Additionally, regular checks for piston ring wear and exhaust valve leakage are crucial to maintain optimal engine performance.

For marine equipment hardly any maker or authorised dealer will name a price while the vessel is unknown. With the vessel details, availability and price can be settled faster; without them we may have to ask first, which costs a few days. If you are not allowed to name the vessel, a photo of the rating plate is enough — attach it below or send it as a reply to our confirmation e-mail.
