Main Engine 4-Stroke · Main Engines (4-Stroke)
This marine engine utilizes a 4-stroke compression ignition combustion cycle and turbocharging to deliver robust power output for propulsion applications. Manufactured by FPT Industrial S.p.A., the C87 (EPA family MFPXN08.7R3A) is designed specifically for variable speed propulsion systems coupled with fixed pitch propellers. This engine boasts a power output of 478 kW, as certified by the EPA for model years 2021 through 2021. Classified as Category 1 by the IMO, it features a 6-cylinder configuration with a displacement of 1.4 liters per cylinder. Fuel is delivered via a direct injection (common rail) system, ensuring precise and efficient combustion. The MFPXN08.7R3A is designed for rigorous maritime environments and requires adherence to a comprehensive maintenance schedule. This includes regular inspections of filters, coolers, fuel systems, valve gear, and turbocharging equipment. Operators should monitor key performance indicators such as lubricating oil pressure, coolant temperature, and exhaust temperatures to ensure optimal engine health.

What our service work and the manufacturer documentation say about keeping this model running.
Review operating trends for lubricating-oil pressure, coolant temperature, exhaust temperatures, load balance, crankcase condition and abnormal vibration or noise. Inspect filters, coolers, fuel equipment, valve gear, turbocharging equipment, mounts, flexible connections and safety shutdown devices in accordance with the installed configuration. Check for fuel, oil, coolant and exhaust leakage and verify that protective alarms and shutdowns are functional. A surveyor will normally look for evidence of disciplined maintenance, clean machinery spaces, leak control, intact guards and reliable safety functions. Use the engine serial number and manufacturer documentation for all exact wear limits, adjustment values and overhaul criteria.
Useful onboard spares typically include fuel-system service items, lubricating-oil and fuel filters, cooling-system seals, belts where fitted, valve-train consumables, injector-related service parts, sensors and common gaskets or O-rings. Critical spares should be selected against the exact engine serial number, installed emissions package and vessel redundancy; refer to the manufacturer parts documentation before ordering.
