Under-the-hood muscle
The 12V175D MM is the most powerful 12-cylinder high-speed diesel tug engine in the world, delivering 2400 kW of mechanical power at 1800 rpm. Two of these engines provide enough power for a potential bollard pull of 80 tons – the only 12V engine that can offer this and push your tug fleet powerfully ahead of the others.
If renewable energy in the tug segment is your theme, look no further. Not only are 12V175D MM high-speed engines compact, powerful, and reliable, they also feature low fuel consumption, low lube oil consumption, low emissions, and long TBOs (time between overhauls). The engines also operate on bio-fuels, such as FAME and HVO. Therefore, all 175D variants meet either IMO Tier II or Tier III emission standards.
The practical and economic benefits of this are real. A 12-cylinder engine – compared to a 16-cylinder engine, for example – weighs less and has a smaller footprint. Fewer parts are required to service it, of course, which reduces maintenance costs.
Last but not least, the 12V175D MM operates with synthetic as well as non-synthetic lube oil, offering greater flexibility as well. Our 175 engines are class certified as dual fuel methanol ready.
