Ultra long stroke engine assists higher ship efficiency

In October 2010, MAN Diesel & Turbo announced that it had produced an ultra long stroke variant of its low speed engine design, which, as part of an integrated propulsion package, could offer savings in fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions of up to 7% thanks to its lower rpm.

For VLCCs, it is estimated that the application of a 7G80ME-C will prompt an overall efficiency increase of 4-5%, compared with a 7S80ME-C9 or an alternative engine design with the same engine speed
