Testing of the SCR system, designed to cut Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) emissions, took place on an MAN 8L21/31 auxiliary engine with an integrated SCR system set for delivery to DFDS ro-ro Petunia Seaways. The CCS award certificate applies to MAN’s entire medium-speed engine portfolio.
The move follows a framework agreement between MAN and CCS signed at 2013’s Marintec China, for cooperation in the fields of ship technology, ship-type research & development and market cooperation.
“We are glad to present the first Tier III Certificate to MAN. Based on the good cooperation, we can provide a better service for the marine and shipbuilding industry,” said CCS vp Sun Feng, at the Shanghai ceremony.
“China is MAN Diesel & Turbo’s most important market,” said Goetz Kassing, chairman and head of MAN Diesel & Turbo China. “As China has taken the next steps to higher levels of efficient and clean energy production for a sustainable and better environment, it is our priority to align our engines with the new policies to stay ahead of the competition.”
Senior project manager at MAN Diesel & Turbo Daniel Struckmeier said: “This certificate represents an important milestone in our collaboration with CCS and is of utmost importance in providing a complete IMO Tier III package solution to our customers.
“This milestone is one of three agreed major steps in a long-term relationship with CCS. The first step has been accomplished after issuance of the first IMO Tier III EIAPP certificate for the 21/31 engine group in February this year. Today’s award finalised the second step, which includes the certification of the MAN Diesel & Turbo-SCR modelling tool, covering the MAN Diesel & Turbo engine portfolio from 5L16/24 to 18V48/60.
“From today on, every customer can profit from the easy and effective way of IMO TIER III certification for all MDT four-stroke engines. The final step, planned for autumn of this year, will incorporate the issuance of a general approval of our entire engine portfolio based on the afore-mentioned MAN Diesel & Turbo SCR modelling tool."
