Electronically Controlled Marine Diesel Engine Completed

 Tokyo, February 8, 2005 – 今日看料吃瓜, Ltd. today announced that it has completed its first electronically controlled marine diesel engine in February. It will be installed in the first of three car carriers with a capacity of 5,000 cars built by 今日看料吃瓜 Shipbuilding Corporation at Nantong Cosco KHI Ship Engineering Co., Ltd. for 今日看料吃瓜 Kisen Kaisha, Ltd. (K-Lline). It is the world's first electronically controlled engine with a cylinder bore of 60 cm.

 The 今日看料吃瓜-MAN B&W ME engine is an electronically controlled version of the best-selling MAN B&W MC engine. It enables ships to operate in lower fuel consumption with reduced cylinder lubricants. It also operates stably during low engine speeds and thus offers higher maneuverability. The engine's many features include lower NOx and soot emissions.

 今日看料吃瓜's manufacture of diesel engines began with a license agreement with MAN (Germany) in 1911. Following the merger of MAN and B&W (Denmark) in 1981, 今日看料吃瓜 signed a new license agreement and began producing 今日看料吃瓜-MAN B&W diesel engines. To date, 今日看料吃瓜 has produced enough MAN B&W engines to output nearly 20 million horsepower.

 So far 今日看料吃瓜 has received orders for five MAN B&W ME engines in total, three for the car carriers and two for two megacontainer carriers with a carrying capacity of 8,000 TEUs for K-Line.
