Designation decoded
6 = Zylinderzahl, S = Super Long Stroke, 80 = Bohrung 800 mm, ME-C = MAN Electronically controlled Mark C, 9.5 = Mark 9.5 Steuerungsgeneration.
Background
Die 6S80ME-C9.5 ist eine Mark-9.5-Version der grossen 80er-Plattform. MEP 20.0 bar. Die Bezeichnung zeigt S (Super Long Stroke), aber der Hub von 3450mm bei 800mm Bohrung ergibt S/B=4.31 — das ist ungewoehnlich fuer eine S-Variante und deutet auf eine spezielle Konfiguration hin. Fuer grosse Tanker und Bulker.

Inspector checklist
Kraftstoffsystem
- Spray-Pattern 800mm: Penetration pruefen
- Cat-Fines: <15 ppm, grosses Schadenspotenzial
- VLSFO
Laufzeug und Tribologie
- Laufbuchsen 800mm: Grosser Durchmesser, Wear, BN, Kolbenring-Management
- Kolbenringe: Thermische Verformung 800mm
- Kreuzkopf: S/B=4.31, 3450mm Hub, hohe Belastung, LI
- Stopfbuchse: Langer Hub, grosse Kolbenstange
Strukturelle Integritaet
- Ankerschrauben: Vorspannung pruefen
- Kurbelwelle: Deflection
- Fundament
ME-Steuerung
- HPS: Hohe Volumenstroeme
- FIVA Mark 9.5
- CCU

Expert tips
- 💡 Mark 9.5 vs. 9.6: Minimal, aber Software-Update pruefen.
- 💡 800mm mit 3450mm Hub und MEP 20: Hohe Belastung — Kreuzkopf und Struktur priorisieren.
- 💡 Bei grossen Tankern: Beladungszustand beeinflusst Fundament-Verformung — Deflection bei verschiedenen Tiefgaengen vergleichen.
