Long maintenance intervals and a robust service life are key attributes of the MAN 6L48/60CR, ensuring reliable performance over extended periods. This four-stroke marine propulsion engine from MAN Energy Solutions combines high efficiency and specific power output with low emissions and operating costs. The engine is available in configurations with 6, 7, 8, or 9 cylinders, each offering a robust combination of power and reliability. For instance, the 6L48/60CR delivers an impressive 7,200 kW at 514 rpm, while maintaining a specific fuel oil consumption (SFOC) of 175.5 g/kWh at 85% MCR according to the IMO E2 test cycle. The MAN TCA series exhaust turbocharging system and advanced electronic common rail injection further enhance its efficiency and performance. The engine's design includes resilient or rigid mounting options, and it features a high and low temperature cooling water system for optimal thermal management. Engine automation is handled by the in-house developed MAN SaCoS one system, ensuring safety and control. The MAN 6L48/60CR also complies with IMO Tier II emissions standards and can meet IMO Tier III requirements when equipped with a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system. Additional power take-off at the engine's free end is available as an option, providing flexibility for various marine applications. With its high cylinder output of 1,200 kW at MCR and a favorable power-to-weight ratio ranging from 13.7 to 14.7 kg/kW, this engine is well-suited for modern maritime operations.

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.
