Marine engineers and operators rely on robust and reliable power generation solutions to ensure the smooth operation of ships and vessels. MaK’s 6LM32E-GS-60Hz is a powerful marine diesel engine designed to meet the stringent demands of maritime environments. This engine, part of the M32E-GS family, offers a bore of 320 mm and a stroke of 460 mm, delivering a maximum power output of 3000 kW at 900 rpm. It is capable of running on heavy fuel oil (HFO) or marine diesel oil (MDO), providing operational flexibility. The engine is compliant with IMO Tier II and EPA Tier 2 emission standards, ensuring environmental responsibility. The 6LM32E-GS-60Hz also boasts extended maintenance intervals with gear and valves requiring servicing every 10,000 hours and piston rings every 20,000 hours, reducing downtime and operational costs. Common issues such as carbon buildup on piston rings, turbocompressor corrosion, and fuel injection system wear are well-documented and require regular inspection to maintain optimal performance.

Free of charge — send us your request for MaK (Caterpillar) equipment. Our team checks it and replies by e-mail.

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.
